Objective:To explore the relationship between corrected serum calcium level and clinical characteristics in patients with newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM), as well as the influencing factors of concomitant hypercalcemia.Methods:A retrospective case cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of newly-diagnosed MM patients who were admitted to Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 were collected. When serum albumin (ALB) was less than 40 g/L, the serum calcium level was corrected. The hypercalcemia group was defined as the corrected serum calcium level >2.60 mmol/L, the normal blood calcium group was defined as 2.20-2.60 mmol/L, and the hypocalcemia group was defined as <2.20 mmol/L; the combination of normal blood calcium group and hypocalcemia group was the non-hypercalcemia group. The age, gender, immune typing, ALB, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr), β 2-microglobulin (β 2-MG), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) of patients in the hypercalcemia group and the non-hypercalcemia group were compared. Pearson correlation analysis was used for the correlation analysis. The logistic regression model was used to conduct multivariate analysis on the influencing factors of hypercalcemia. Results:Before correction, there were 31 cases (26.5%), 48 cases (40.0%) and 38 cases (32.5%) of MM patients in the hypocalcemia group, normal blood calcium group and hypercalcemia group, respectively. After correction, there were 17 cases (14.5%), 58 cases (49.6%) and 42 cases (35.9%), respectively. The corrected serum calcium level for male MM patients was (2.58± 0.41) mmol/L, while for females it was (2.53±0.38) mmol/L, and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( t = 0.79, P > 0.05). The corrected serum calcium levels for patients in stage Ⅰ, stage Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ of the International Staging System (ISS) were (2.31±0.15) mmol/L, (2.52±0.37) mmol/L and (2.65±0.42) mmol/L, respectively, and the difference between the three groups was statistically significant ( F = 53.62, P < 0.01). Corrected serum calcium showed a negative correlation with patients' serum ALB ( r = -0.201, P < 0.05), and positive correlations with Scr, BUN and β 2-MG levels ( r values were 0.470, 0.247 and 0.469, respectively, all P < 0.01), but it had no correlation with age or ALP ( r values were -0.013 and 0.078, respectively, both P > 0.05). There were 15 cases (17.1%), 48 cases (54.5%) and 25 cases (28.4%) of patients with normal renal function in the hypocalcemia group, normal blood calcium group and hypercalcemia group, respectively; there were 2 cases (6.9%), 10 cases (34.5%) and 17 cases (58.6%) of patients with impaired renal function in the hypocalcemia group, normal blood calcium group and hypercalcemia group, respectively; there were statistically significant differences between the hypocalcemia group and the hypercalcemia group, as well as between the normal blood calcium group and the hypercalcemia group ( χ2 = 4.57, P < 0.05; χ2 = 6.67, P < 0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference between the hypocalcemia group and the normal calcium group ( χ2 = 0.29, P>0.05). The patients with approximately normal bone status in the hypocalcemia group, normal blood calcium group and hypercalcemia group were 3 cases (13.0%), 17 cases (74.0%) and 3 cases (13.0%), respectively, and the patients with bone damage were 14 cases (14.9%), 41 cases (43.6%), and 39 cases (41.5%), respectively, and there was a statistically significant difference between the normal blood calcium group and the hypercalcemia group ( χ2 = 7.48, P < 0.01), while there was no statistically significant difference between the hypocalcemia group and the hypercalcemia group ( χ2 = 1.46, P > 0.05). The proportions of patients with Scr > 177 μmol/L and β 2-MG > 3.5 mg/L in the hypercalcemia group were higher than those in the non-hypercalcemia group, and the differences were statistically significant (both P < 0.05). The results of logistic regression multivariate analysis showed that β 2-MG >3.5 mg/L was an independent risk factor for hypercalcemia in newly-diagnosed MM patients ( OR = 1.178, 95% CI: 1.058-1.311, P = 0.003). Conclusions:Corrected serum calcium level may be an important indicator for evaluating the severity of disease, renal function and bone status in newly-diagnosed MM patients.

Objective:To evaluate the long-term protective efficacy of the recombinant Chinese hamster ovary cell-derived hepatitis B vaccine(CHO-HepB)26 years post-vaccination in the rural China.Methods:Zhengding county,Hebei province was designated as a rural monitoring site for CHO-HepB efficacy. Study participants included individuals born between 1997 and 1999 who had completed the three-dose CHO-HepB primary series without booster doses. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in late 2024 using random sampling. Demographic and vaccination history data were collected via questionnaires,and hepatitis B virus(HBV)serological markers were detected using chemiluminescence. Historical surveillance data were integrated to infer infection statuses of HBsAg-positive individuals and evaluate longitudinal trends in anti-HBs seropositivity and antibody titers.Results:Among 178 participants(mean time since vaccination:26.2 years),the seroprevalence rates were 0.6% for HBsAg(95% CI:0.0%-1.6%),64.6% for anti-HBs(95% CI:57.6%-71.6%),and 1.1% for anti-HBc(95% CI:0.0%-2.7%). Compared to the pre-vaccination baseline HBsAg positivity of 11.3% in children under 10 years of age,the estimated vaccine protection rate was 95%. Two notable cases were identified:one with concurrent HBsAg and anti-HBc positivity and one with anti-HBs and anti-HBc positivity,suggestive of transient HBV exposure(1999—2009)without chronicity. Natural immune boosting was inferred for the latter case based on anti-HBs titer dynamics. Longitudinal analysis of four prior cross-sectional surveys(2005,2009,2013,and 2017)revealed no significant upward trends in HBsAg and anti-HBc positivity(both P>0.05)over 26 years,while anti-HBs seropositivity declined significantly( P<0.05)from 6 to 26 years post-vaccination. Conclusion:The CHO-HepB vaccine demonstrates sustained immunological persistence and robust long-term protection up to 26 years post-immunization. Continued emphasis on rigorous implementation of mother-to-child transmission prevention strategies is critical for future hepatitis B control.

Objective :
To investigate the partial mechanism and effect of transplanting with human umbilical cordderived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC⁃MSCs) to repair articular cartilage defects in a rat model.
Methods :
Critical⁃sized osteochondral defects were created in the trochlear grooves of rat femurs. The hUC⁃MSCs were transplanted into the defect of experimental knees. Sham group and model group knees were transplanted with saline. The effects of articular cartilage repair were evaluated at 10 weeks after surgery with International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) repair score , histological examination and immunohistochemical analysis. The effects of hUC⁃MSCs on the proliferation and migration of chondrocytes were detected by Transwell in vitro.
Results :
After transplanting with hUC⁃MSCs , the articular surfaces of the defect sites were changed smoother thanthose of the model group , and the cellular morphology and arrangement were also improved in Safranin O staining or Masson staining results. Similar to surrounding normal articular cartilage tissue after treatment for 10 weeks , and the ICRS repair score was signifision of type Ⅱ (Col Ⅱ ) collagen and decrease the level of type Ⅰ collagen( Col Ⅰ ) in the articular defect site. Meanwhile , the increased protein expression of SOX9 and protein transportation to the nucleus were observed after treatment with hUC⁃MSCs for 10 weeks. In vitro , chondrocytes could be proliferated and migrated after co⁃cultured
with hUC⁃MSCs.
Conclusion
Transplanting with hUC⁃MSCs can promote cartilage repair, and its role maybe related to the protection of the cartilage matrix and the promotion of chondrocyte proliferation and migration.
