With the increase of patients with end-stage renal disease and the increasing complexity of dialysis machines,the traditional fixed cycle empirical preventive maintenance model has revealed its disadvantages,such as wasted resources and frequent failures.This paper focuses on the optimization of the dialysis machine's proactive maintenance plan based on risk as-sessment,analyzing its cutting-edge working principles,and involving advanced technologies such as semi-permeable membranes and intelligent magnetic levitation drives.It also explores composite failures,such as nanoscale biological contamination,and provides solutions.It innovatively proposes to build a multi-dimensional integrated risk assessment system,collect heterogeneous data from multiple sources,establish a risk factor library,and develop a dynamic adaptive risk model.Based on this,a proactive maintenance strategy is designed to break the fixed cycle and use an intelligent platform to flexibly schedule maintenance accord-ing to the risk level.By integrating pre-diagnosis and self-healing technologies,it can predict and automatically repair minor fail-ures in advance using microsensors.This promotes the intelligence of the dialysis machine-related industry,but future efforts are still needed to cultivate cutting-edge technologies to protect kidney health.

Objective To identify the pathogen causing bloodstream infection(BSI)in an elderly patient and to de-scribe its pathogenic characteristics.This study also reviews recent relevant literatures on Trichoderma longibra-chiatum(T.longibrachiatum)infections.Methods Blood specimens from central and peripheral veins were co-llected for blood culture.The morphological characteristics and drug susceptibility of the isolated filamentous fungus were analyzed.The sequences of the isolated strains were detected using the internal transcribed spacer(ITS)re-gion,and then analyzed using MEGA software.Results Both morphological observation and ITS sequencing su-ggested that the pathogen was T.longibrachiatum.The minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)against the strain detected in accordance with the M38-A2 Guideline for the Drug Susceptibility of Filamentous Fungi issued by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)of the United States showed that the MICs of micafungin,caspofungin,5-fluorocytosine,posaconazole,voriconazole,itraconazole,fluconazole,anidulafungin and amphoteri-cin were 8,8,64,2,0.5,2,64,8 and 4 μg/mL respectively.The patient recovered well after anti-fungal treat-ment with voriconazole.A total of 15 cases of T.longibrachiatum infection were reported in the literature.The main underlying disease was transplantation(n=5),and the main clinical manifestation was pulmonary infection(n=5).Of these,9 cases survived,3 died,and 3 had an unknown prognosis.Conclusion T.longibrachiatum in-fection is more common in patients with low immunity and more underlying diseases,with a high fatality rate,lack standardized clinical treatment guidelines,lack break points in drug sensitivity results,and is resistant to common antifungal drugs.It is of guiding significance to isolate and identify pathogens in time and provide corresponding drug sensitivity testing results for clinical drug use.

Objective To investigate the distribution of dense fine speckled(DFS)antinuclear antibody(ANA)in different ages,genders,and diseases,and to explore its clinical significance in the diagnosis of auto-immune disease(AID).Methods A retrospective summary was conducted on the clinical basic data of 53520 patients who visited the hospital from January 2022 to April 2024,as well as the results of indirect immunoflu-orescence(IIF)ANA fluorescence karyotype and titer,and immunoblotting ANA spectrum,and the relation-ship between DFS positivity and AID was analyzed.Results Of the 53 520 serum samples,the rate of ANA fluorescence positivity was 32.40%,with DFS-positive samples accounting for 1.18%of all ANA fluores-cence-positive samples.The male-to-female ratio of DFS positives was 1∶1.94,with the highest percentage of 51.9%in the 21-40 age group.Among DFS positive individuals,only 12.14%were clinically diagnosed with AID disease,significantly lower than other ANA fluorescent karyotype positive individuals(23.31%,P<0.001).The overall positivity rate of ANA spectra using immunoblotting in DFS-positive individuals was 23.54%,which was significantly lower than that in other fluorescent karyotype positive ANA individuals(73.26%,P<0.001).Moreover,DFS positive individuals were mainly accompanied by antibody positivity such as anti-Ro52 antibodies,which had no diagnostic specificity in AID diagnosis.When comparing DFS posi-tive individuals with similar fluorescence morphology to those with homogeneous nuclear granules and nuclei,at an ANA titer of 1∶100,the proportion of AID patients in homogeneous nuclear granules and nuclei was 20.04%,significantly higher than the proportion of AID patients in DFS positive individuals(9.44%,P=0.001).With the increase of ANA titer,the proportion of AID diseases significantly increased in both karyo-type samples.When the ANA titer of DFS positive samples was increased to ≥ 1∶320,the proportion of AID diseases significantly increased to 30.77%(P=0.002).Conclusion DFS is a rare ANA fluorescent karyo-type,and DFS positive individuals are mainly found in females aged 21-40,mostly non AID patients.Howev-er,high titers of DFS cannot rule out the possibility of AID.In clinical work,special attention should be paid to distinguishing it from the homogeneous nuclear granule type to avoid misdiagnosis.

Objective To evaluate the results of computer-aid customized acetabular cages for patients with severe defects.Methods Twenty-three patients (8 males and 15 females) with a massive acetabular defects were involved in the present study from January 2005 to September 2014.The average age was 64.2 years (range,46-79 years).According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) classification,20 had AAOS type Ⅲ defects and three had AAOS type Ⅳ defects.The customized cages were individualized to each patient's bone defects based on the rapid prototype three-dimensional printed models.The mean follow-up duration was 66.3 months (range,24-120 months).The clinical and radiographic outcomes of all patients were assessed at 6 and 12 weeks after surgery and at once yearly thereafter.Harris hip scores were assessed before surgery and at each follow-up.Postoperative radiographs were evaluated for cage position,migration,and graft incorporation.Complications and reoperations were assessed by chart review.Results The mean Harris hip score improved from 36.2±7.9 (range,20-49) to 81.8± 8.4 (range,60-96),and there is a significant difference between pre-and post-operation (t=23.23,P<0.001).Individualized custom cages resulted in generally reliable restoration of the hip center.The difference of horizontal distance (between the center of each hip and pubic symphysis) between bilateral sides was-3.0±6.4 mm (range,-19-8 mm).The difference of vertical distance (between the center of each hip and the line connecting the inferior border of the bilateral tear drop) between bilateral sides was 0.4±2.8 mm (range,-4.5-5 mm).No re-revisions had been conducted.None of the cups showed radiographic migration,while one cage was suspected to be loose based on a circumferential 2-mm radiolucent line.Cancellous allografts appeared to be incorporated in 22 of 23 patients.One deep infection and one superficial infection were observed and were treated with irrigation,debridement,and vacuum sealing drainage.One dislocation and one suspected injury of the superior gluteal nerve also were observed and were treated conservatively.Conclusion Individualized customized cages appears to provide stable fixation and improve hip scores at short or mid-term follow-up.
