OBJECTIVE To prepare an intelligent responsive liposome-hydrogel nanopreparation co-loaded with gambogic acid (GA), and characterize its antitumor activity in vitro . METHODS GA-ICG-Lip-gel was prepared by ethanol injection and cold dissolution, incorporating GA and the photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG). The appearance and microscopic morphology of GA-ICG-Lip-gel were observed, its encapsulation efficiency and drug loading capacity were measured, and its photothermal conversion performance, photothermal stability, and infrared imaging properties were investigated, along with the determination of its in vitro release profile. Human breast cancer MCF-7 cells were used as objects to investigate the effects of GA-ICG-Lip-gel (or with near-infrared light irradiation) on cell viability, migration ability, and the cellular uptake capacity of GA-ICG-Lip-gel. RESULTS GA-ICG-Lip-gel existed in a solution state at room temperature and transformed into a gel state at 37 ℃. Its microstructure was dense with small pores, and its encapsulation efficiency and drug loading were (96.07±0.86) % and (6.28±1.16) %, respectively. After exposure to near-infrared light, the temperature of GA-ICG-Lip-gel rose above 42 ℃, with no significant attenuation observed in the heating curve. The heating efficiency was dependent on both the irradiation time and drug concentration. Compared to media without gelatinase, the cumulative release rate of GA-ICG-Lip-gel increased in media containing gelatinase. In vitro studies showed that GA-ICG-Lip-gel could be efficiently taken up by MCF-7 cells; GA-ICG-Lip-gel significantly inhibited the viability and migration ability of MCF-7 cells ( P <0.05), and this inhibitory effect was further enhanced under near-infrared light irradiation. CONCLUSIONS This study successfully prepares GA-ICG-Lip-gel, which exhibits favorable photothermal conversion properties and temperature/enzyme dual-responsive drug release characteristics, and demonstrates significant inhibitory effects on the proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells.

Objective: To explore a simple, effective, and safe method for excluding false positives and identifying infections by comprehensively evaluating blood donors with reactive HIV screening results, thereby providing a basis for developing management strategies for such donors. Methods: HIV testing data of blood donors from our laboratory from January 2022 to December 2024 were collected. The results of ELISA and nucleic acid testing (NAT) were combined with confirmatory results from the CDC and analyzed. Results: A total of 605 929 samples were tested for HIV over the three-year period, with 682 reactive samples (reactive rate: 11.25 per 10 000). All were sent to the CDC for Western blot (WB) confirmation, resulting in 53 confirmed positives ((confirmed positive rate: 7.77%). Among these, 619 samples showed isolated HIV Ag&Ab reactivity with non-reactive NAT (HIV Ag&Ab+-&HIV RNA or NAT NR), with a confirmed infection rate of 0%; 9 samples showed dual HIV Ag&Ab reactivity with non-reactive NAT (HIV Ag&Ab++&HIV RNA NR or NAT NR), also with 0% confirmed infection; 52 samples showed dual HIV Ag&Ab reactivity and reactive NAT (HIV Ag&Ab++&HIV RNA R or NAT R), all confirmed as positive (100% infection rate); and 2 HIV Ag&Ab dual-reactive samples without NAT detection were also confirmed infected (100%). For all four HIV Ag&Ab assays, the S/CO values in the true positive group with dual reactivity were significantly higher than those in the false-positive groups (P<0.05). The S/CO distributions for both single-reactive false positives and dual-reactive false positives were narrow, with the upper box (Q3, 75th percentile) below optimal cutoff values in all cases (The optimal cutoff values for the four reagents were 5.00, 11.67, 8.50, and 20.90, respectively). Conclusion: Blood donors with positive NAT results in HIV blood screening are permanently deferred. Donors with dual positive HIV Ag&Ab but negative NAT results are classified and managed based on the S/CO values of HIV Ag&Ab and the optimal screening thresholds. Donors with single positive HIV Ag&Ab but negative NAT results are placed under evaluation status and retain their eligibility to donate blood. Optimizing the management measures for blood donors and establishing a scientific stratified management and assessment mechanism can effectively maintain the stability of the blood donor team.

Objective: To analyze the changing trend and distribution characteristics of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among blood donors in Hebei, thereby providing data to support strategy and procedure adjustment for blood collection and supply institutions. Methods: Data from 12 blood stations in Hebei Province from 2012 to 2021 were collected. These data were analyzed to determine trends in anti-HCV antibody double reagent reactive rate and to characterize its distribution among different donor categories, genders and birth cohorts. Results: During the period from 2012 to 2021, a total of 7.4576 million samples were tested at 12 blood stations in Hebei Province, with 3.4659 million (46.47%) from first-time donors, and 3.9917 million (53.53%) from repeat donors. The number (of anti-HCV double reagent reactive samples was 7167 (9.61/10 000). The anti-HCV double reagent reactive rate showed a annual downward trend (P<0.05), from 17.40/10 000 at the beginning to 4.95/10 000 at the end of the study period. Additionally, the double reagent reactive rate of repeat blood donors had remained below 1/10 000 since 2017. The double reagent reactive rate of first-time blood donors (19.42/10 000) was higher than in repeat donors (1.09/10 000) (P<0.05), and the double-reagent reactive rate of female first-time blood donors (20.98/10 000) was higher than that of male first-time blood donors (18.49/10 000) (P<0.05). The anti-HCV double reagent reactive rate among first-time donors exhibited two distinct peaks within the pre-1976 and 1989-1994 birth cohorts, with notable gender differences observed in both peak periods. The rate of double reagent reactive in females born before 1976 (52.22/10 000) was higher than that in males (32.28/10 000) (P<0.05), while that of males born in 1989-1994 was higher (25.75/10 000) than that of females (14.28/10 000) (P<0.05). Conclusion: The prevalenc of HCV infection among blood donors in Hebei Province has shown a consistent year-over-year decline over the study period. The majority of infected individuals are found among the first-time blood donors born before 1995. These trends and characteristics provide valuable insights for developing pre-blood collection screening strategies, analyzing nucleic acid test data in blood screening, adjusting blood screening procedures, and provide evidence for targeted screening of high-risk populations as part of public health initiatives to eliminate hepatitis C.
