Objective:To investigate the level of rehabilitation exercise adherence in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction within 6 months post-surgery, analyze its trajectory, and provide a reference for clinical nursing interventions.Methods:Using a convenience sampling method, 150 patients who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2022 to August 2023 were selected. Rehabilitation exercise adherence was assessed monthly from postoperative 1 month (M 1) to 6 months (M 6) using the Orthopedic Functional Exercise Adherence Scale. A latent class growth model was employed to analyze adherence trajectory categories, and Logistic regression was used to identify influencing factors for different adherence trajectories. Results:A total of 144 patients completed follow-up (follow-up rate was 96.00%). Exercise adherence scores gradually declined over the 6 months post-surgery, with scores of (50.30±5.39), (45.92±3.85), (39.48±5.27), (35.83±6.19), (31.85±7.59), and (29.88±7.88) from M 1 to M 6, respectively. The difference in scores across time points was statistically significant ( F=85.467, P<0.01). Three potential categories were identified through the latent class growth model: the moderate-high level rapid decline group ( n=65, 45.14%), the moderate-low level stable group ( n=32, 22.22%), and the moderate-low level slow decline group ( n=47, 32.64%). Logistic regression analysis revealed that gender and age were significant factors influencing adherence trajectory categories ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Dynamic declines in rehabilitation exercise adherence are common among ACL reconstruction patients, with varying degrees of decline. Gender and age may influence adherence trajectories, suggesting that targeted management strategies could be implemented in clinical practice.

【Objective】 To investigate the frequency of platelet antibodies in voluntary blood donors and patients in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, and to study the specificity and cross-matching of platelet antibodies. 【Methods】 Platelet antibodies of blood donors and patients were screened by solid-phase immunoadsorption (SPIA), rechecked by flow cytometry (FCM), and antibody specificity was identified by PakPlus enzyme immunoassay, and platelet cross-matching was simulated by SPIA. 【Results】 A total of 1 049 blood donor samples and 598 patient samples were tested, with 6 (0.57%) and 49 (8.19%) samples positive for SPIA,respectively(P<0.05); In SPIA positive samples, the positive concordance rate of FCM in blood donors and patients was 100% vs 95%, and that of enzyme immunoassay was 100% vs 88%. Among the initial screening positive samples of blood donors, 5 were anti-HLA Ⅰ antibodies, accounting for 83%, and 1 was anti CD36 antibody, accounting for 17%, with an incidence rate of 0.10%. Among the 14 samples of enzyme immunoassay positive patients, 2 were anti-GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa, 1 was anti-GP Ⅱa/Ⅱa, 8 were anti HLA Ⅰ, and 3 were mixed antibodies (HLA Ⅰ, GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa, GP Ⅰa/Ⅱa). According to the types of antibodies, HLA Ⅰ antibodies were the most common, accounting for 65% (11/17), followed by HPA related anti GP, accounting for 35% (6/17). The majority of patients had a platelet antibody positive typing rate below 30%, accounting for 71.4% (10/14). 【Conclusions】 The positive rate of platelet antibody of patients in Zhongshan area is significantly higher than that of voluntary blood donors, and most of them are anti-HLA Ⅰ and anti-GP, and the incidence of anti-CD36 is extremely low. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a known platelet antigen donor bank, and at the same time, carry out platelet antibody testing and matching of patients, which is helpful to solve the issue of platelet transfusion refractoriness.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of air moxibustion combined with pushpin-like needle acupuncture,which is formulated based on the"suppressing wood-supporting earth"theory in the doctrine of the five elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM),in the treatment of pain,nausea and vomiting after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE).Methods A total of 160 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma,who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine of China to receive initial TACE between July 2020 and June 2023,were enrolled in this study.The patients were randomly divided into 4 groups with 40 patients in each group.The patients of the control group received TACE with conventional nursing care,the patients of the pushpin-like needle group received pushpin-like needle acupuncture on the basis of the control group,the patients of the air moxibustion group received air moxibustion treatment on the basis of the control group,and the patients of the combination group received air moxibustion combined with pushpin-like needle acupuncture on the basis of the control group.The post-TACE pain degree(VAS scoring)and nausea/vomiting extent(INVR scoring)were compared between each other among the four groups.Results The differences in the VAS score and INVR score(including main effect and interaction effect)between each other among the four groups were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Statistically significant differences in the VAS score and INVR score existed between the control group and the other three groups(all P＜0.05).The differences in the VAS score and INVR score between combination group and pushpin-like needle group,as well as between combination group and air moxibustion group were statistically significant(both P＜0.05).Conclusion Air moxibustion combined with pushpin-like needle acupuncture can effectively and remarkably relieve post-TACE pain,nausea and vomiting,which is superior to simple use of air moxibustion or pushpin-like needle acupuncture.Therefor,the combination use of air moxibustion and pushpin-like needle acupuncture should be popularized in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the effect of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) on platelet activation in sepsis.Methods:① Clinical trial: a prospective study was conducted. Patients with sepsis and septic shock aged ≥ 18 years old who met the diagnostic criteria of Sepsis-3 admitted to the department of intensive care medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical College from January to October in 2021 were selected as subjects. Healthy subjects in the same period were taken as healthy control group. Platelet count (PLT) in the first routine blood test after admission was recorded. Venous blood was taken 1 day after diagnosis, and serum PCSK9 level was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The differences of PCSK9 level and PLT between the two groups were compared, and subgroup analysis was conducted based on PLT for patients with sepsis. The correlation between PCSK9 level and PLT in septic patients was analyzed by Pearson correlation method. ② Animal experiment: 80 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group, sepsis model group [lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group], PCSK9 inhibitor pretreatment group (PCSK9 inhibitor+LPS group) and PCSK9 inhibitor control group (PCSK9 inhibitor group), with 20 mice in each group. The mouse model of sepsis was reproduced by intraperitoneal injection of LPS 12 mg/kg, and the control group and PCSK9 inhibitor group were intraperitoneally injected with the same amount of sterile normal saline. PCSK9 inhibitor+LPS group and PCSK9 inhibitor group were pretreated with PCSK9 inhibitor 5 mg/kg intraperitoneal injection for 7 days before injection of LPS or normal saline, respectively, and the control group and LPS group were injected with an equal amount of sterile normal saline. The lung tissues were taken for pathological and immunohistochemical observation 24 hours after modeling. Blood was taken from the heart for determining PLT. Platelet activation was detected by flow cytometry. The expression level of platelet-activation marker CD40L was detected by Western blotting.Results:① Clinical trial: there were 57 cases in the sepsis group and 27 cases in the healthy control group. Serum PCSK9 level in the sepsis group was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group (μg/L: 232.25±72.21 vs. 191.72±54.92, P < 0.05), and PLT was significantly lower than that in the healthy control group [×10 9/L: 146.00 (75.50, 204.50) vs. 224.00 (194.00, 247.00), P < 0.01]. Subgroup analysis showed that the serum PCSK9 level in the thrombocytopenia patients ( n = 20) was significantly higher than that in the non-thrombocytopenia patients ( n = 37; μg/L: 264.04±60.40 vs. 215.06±72.95, P < 0.01). Correlation analysis showed a significant negative correlation between serum PCSK9 levels and PLT in septic patients ( r = -0.340, P = 0.010). ② Animal experiment: there were no significant pathological changes in lung tissue in the control group and PCSK9 inhibitor group under light microscope, and no significant differences in PLT, platelet activation and plasma CD40L protein expression was found between the two groups. In the LPS group, a large number of inflammatory cells were infiltrated in the pulmonary interstitium, the alveolar structure was damaged obviously, the alveolar septum was widened, the alveolar cavity was extensively bleeding, the capillary dilatation with bleeding and platelet aggregation were found, the PLT was significantly decreased, the platelet activation and the expression level of CD40L protein in plasma were significantly increased. The infiltration of inflammatory cells in lung tissue of mice in the PCSK9 inhibitor+LPS group was reduced to a certain extent, the thickening of alveolar septa was reduced, the platelet aggregation in lung tissue was decreased as compared with the LPS group, the PLT was significantly increased (×10 9/L: 515.83±46.60 vs. 324.83±46.31, P < 0.05), the platelet activation and the expression level of CD40L protein in plasma were significantly decreased [positive expression rate of platelet activation dependent granule surface facial mask protein CD62P: (12.15±1.39)% vs. (18.33±2.74)%, CD40L protein (CD40L/β-actin): 0.77±0.08 vs. 1.18±0.10, both P < 0.05]. Conclusion:PCSK9 level has a certain effect on promoting platelet activation in sepsis, and inhibition of PCSK9 level may have potential research value in improving adverse outcomes caused by sepsis thrombocytopenia.

Objective:To analyze the distribution of ages at the interhospital transfer of outborn very preterm infants in China and to compare their perinatal characteristics and outcomes at discharge and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) treatment.Methods:A total of 3 405 outborn very premature infants with a gestational age of 24-31 +6 weeks who were transferred to the NICUs of the Chinese Neonatal Network (CHNN) in 2019 were included in this retrospective study. According to the age at transfer, they were divided into three groups: early transfer (≤1 d), delayed transfer (>1-7 d) and late transfer (>7 d) groups. Analysis of variance, t-test, Chi-square test (Bonferroni correction), Kruskal-Wallis test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used to compare the general clinical condition, treatment, and outcomes at discharge among the three groups. Results:The median gestational age was 29.7 weeks (28.3-31.0 weeks) and the average birth weight was (1 321.0 ± 316.5) g for these 3 405 infants. There were 2 031 patients (59.6%) in the early transfer group, 406 (11.9%) in the delayed transfer group and 968 (28.4%) in the late transfer group. Infants who received continuous positive airway pressure ventilation and tracheal intubation in the delivery room accounted for 8.4% (237/2 806) and 32.9% (924/2 805), respectively. A total of 62.7% (1 569/2 504) of the mothers received antenatal glucocorticoid therapy and the ratio in the early transfer group was 68.7% (1 121/1 631), which was higher than that in the delayed transfer group [56.1% (152/271), χ2=16.78, P<0.017] and the late transfer group [49.2% (296/602), χ2=72.56, P<0.017]. The total mortality rate of very premature infants was 12.7% (431/3 405), and the mortality rates in the early, delayed and late transfer groups were 12.4% (252/2 031), 16.3% (66/406) and 11.7% (113/968), respectively ( χ2=5.72, P=0.057). The incidences of severe intraventricular hemorrhage, late-onset sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia at the corrected gestational age of 36 weeks or discharge were all higher in the delayed and late transfer groups than in the early transfer group, respectively. The incidences of retinopathy of prematurity, retinopathy of prematurity requiring treatment and bronchopulmonary dysplasia at the corrected gestational age of 36 weeks or discharge in the late transfer group were significantly higher than that in the delayed transfer group (Bonferroni correction, all P<0.017). In the late transfer group, the median age of very premature infants at discharge was 66.0 d (51.0-86.0 d), and the corrected gestational age at discharge was 38.9 weeks (37.1-41.2 weeks), and both were greater than those in the early transfer [48.0 d (37.0-64.0 d), Z=260.83; 36.9 weeks (35.7-38.3 weeks), Z=294.32] and delayed transfer groups [52.0 d (41.0-64.0 d), Z=81.49; 37.4 weeks (36.1-38.7 weeks), Z=75.97] (all P<0.017). Conclusions:Many very premature infants need to be transferred to higher-level hospitals after birth. The later the very premature infants are transferred, the higher the incidence of complications will be. It is suggested that intrauterine or early postnatal transport may improve the prognosis of very premature infants.

The chemical complexity of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) makes the active and functional annotation of natural compounds challenging. Herein, we developed the TCMs-Compounds Functional Annotation platform (TCMs-CFA) for large-scale predicting active compounds with potential mechanisms from TCM complex system, without isolating and activity testing every single compound one by one. The platform was established based on the integration of TCMs knowledge base, chemome profiling, and high-content imaging. It mainly included: (1) selection of herbal drugs of target based on TCMs knowledge base; (2) chemome profiling of TCMs extract library by LC‒MS; (3) cytological profiling of TCMs extract library by high-content cell-based imaging; (4) active compounds discovery by combining each mass signal and multi-parametric cell phenotypes; (5) construction of functional annotation map for predicting the potential mechanisms of lead compounds. In this stud TCMs with myocardial protection were applied as a case study, and validated for the feasibility and utility of the platform. Seven frequently used herbal drugs (Ginseng, etc.) were screened from 100,000 TCMs formulas for myocardial protection and subsequently prepared as a library of 700 extracts. By using TCMs-CFA platform, 81 lead compounds, including 10 novel bioactive ones, were quickly identified by correlating 8089 mass signals with 170,100 cytological parameters from an extract library. The TCMs-CFA platform described a new evidence-led tool for the rapid discovery process by data mining strategies, which is valuable for novel lead compounds from TCMs. All computations are done through Python and are publicly available on GitHub.

【Objective】 To investigate the frequency of CD36 deletion and gene mutation in voluntary blood donors of Zhongshan city, and to explore the possibility of establishing local CD36 negative platelet donor bank. 【Methods】 Platelet CD36 antigen was detected by ELISA in 1 654 voluntary blood donors.Some of the negative samples were confirmed by flow cytometry, and genotyping was also performed. 【Results】 Platelet CD36 antigen was negative in 27 cases, accounting for 1.6% (27/1654), among which 1.6% (18/1149) were males and 1.8% (9/505) were females.No significant difference was noticed between males and females in CD36 antigen deletion cases (P>0.05). Fifteen CD36 negative samples were randomly selected, genotyped and sequenced, with type I deletion in 1 case[ 6.7% (1/15)], type Ⅱ deletion in 14 cases[ 93.3% (14/15)], and gene mutation in exon 3-14 detected in 8 cases. 【Conclusion】 The frequency of platelet CD36 antigen deletion in Zhongshan is comparable to that in other southern regions of China.The establishment of CD36 negative platelet donor bank is conductive to improve the effectiveness of platelet transfusion.
