A 11-year old female patient with severe thalassemia, receipt a lentivirus-based cell and gene therapy (CGT) therapy in Shenzhen Children′s Hosptial on July 27th, 2021. At the two follow-up visits after discharge, patient were continuously tested positive for HIV screening through HIV Ag/Ab Combo assay (chemiluminescence Immunoassay), and the viral load results of HIV-1 nucleic acid testing (NAT) were both>5 000 copies/ml. The patient can be diagnosed with HIV infection according to the National Guideline for Detection of HIV/AIDS(2020 Revised Edition). The thorough investigation findings and supplementary experiment results indicated that the false-positive HIV-1 NAT results was caused by cross-reactivity between the target sites detected by conventional HIV-1 NAT reagents and the lentiviral vectors fragments integrated into the genome of patient′s hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. In conclusion, it is important for laboratories to select appropriate HIV-1 NAT testing platforms which won′t cause cross-reactivity for the testing of samples from patients who have been treated with HIV-derived vectors. It is also recommended to design and develop NAT testing platforms with multiple target regions labeled by different fluorescents for HIV NAT supplementation experiment to reduce the risk of false-positive diagnoses of HIV infection.

In clinical dentistry,addressing unique conditions such as tilted,elongated,and torsion teeth during prepa-ration can be effectively managed through digital tooth morphology design.The production of a multi-stage 3D-printed guide offered a more efficient and accurate solution.This article presented a case of significant inclination,elongation,and torsion in the maxillary and mandibular canines that were successfully treated using crown restoration modification.A crown preparation guide was fabricated based on the final form design of the restoration using the target restorative space analysis technique to ensure precise tooth preparation.A tooth preparation guide was also designed and utilized fur-ther to enhance accuracy and efficiency during complex tooth preparation.The combined application of these multi-stage guides demonstrated promising clinical prospects.

In the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, the analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals has always played a crucial role. At present, how to effectively identify abnormal heart beats by algorithms is still a difficult task in the field of ECG signal analysis. Based on this, a classification model that automatically identifies abnormal heartbeats based on deep residual network (ResNet) and self-attention mechanism was proposed. Firstly, this paper designed an 18-layer convolutional neural network (CNN) based on the residual structure, which helped model fully extract the local features. Then, the bi-directional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) was used to explore the temporal correlation for further obtaining the temporal features. Finally, the self-attention mechanism was built to weight important information and enhance model's ability to extract important features, which helped model achieve higher classification accuracy. In addition, in order to mitigate the interference on classification performance due to data imbalance, the study utilized multiple approaches for data augmentation. The experimental data in this study came from the arrhythmia database constructed by MIT and Beth Israel Hospital (MIT-BIH), and the final results showed that the proposed model achieved an overall accuracy of 98.33% on the original dataset and 99.12% on the optimized dataset, which demonstrated that the proposed model can achieve good performance in ECG signal classification, and possessed potential value for application to portable ECG detection devices.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of experiential avoidance and emotional eating between intolerable uncertainty and life satisfaction of college students.Methods:From October to December 2021, a total of 890 college students in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region were tested by the intolerable uncertainty scale (simplified version), the acceptance action scale second edition, the Dutch eating behavior questionnaire and the life satisfaction scale. All data processing and analysis were preformed by SPSS 22.0 software, and the mediating effect was tested by Pearson correlation analysis and Bootstrap analysis.Results:The intolerable uncertainty score was (26.43±7.64), the experiential avoidance score was (22.63±9.67), the emotional eating score was (26.43 ±11.83), and the life satisfaction score was (16.74±6.03). Intolerable uncertainty was significantly and negatively correlated with life satisfaction( r=-0.76, P<0.01), and was significantly and positively correlated with experience avoidance and emotional eating( r=0.66, 0.78, both P<0.01). Experience avoidance was significantly and positively correlated with emotional eating( r=0.70, P<0.01), and was significantly and negatively correlated with life satisfaction( r=-0.62, P<0.01). Emotional eating was significantly and negatively correlated with life satisfaction( r=-0.68, P<0.01). Intolerable uncertainty affects life satisfaction through four paths.The direct effect value of intolerable uncertainty on life satisfaction was -0.53, accounting for 70.23% of the total effect. The separate mediating effect value of experience avoidance was -0.11, accounting for 50.00% of the total indirect effect.The separate mediating effect value of emotional eating was -0.08, accounting for 36.36% of the total indirect effect, and the chain mediating effect value of experience avoidance and emotional eating was -0.03, accounting for 13.64% of the total indirect effect. Conclusion:Intolerable uncertainty can directly affect life satisfaction of college students and indirectly through experiencing avoidance and emotional eating.

Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy of two-stage total hip arthroplasty in the treatment of chronic septic hip arthritis.Methods:From January 2008 to March 2020, 17 patients with chronic septic hip arthritis (17 hips) received two-stage total hip arthroplasty at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital to of Fujian Medical University. They were 11 males and 6 females, with an average age of 54.5 years (from 19 to 77 years) and 9 left and 8 right hips affected. There were 10 cases of primary septic hip and 7 cases of secondary infection after hip surgery. Three patients had undergone debridement in other hospitals and one patient had developed a sinus tract. In the first stage operation, the diseased femoral head and neck were resected to implant an articulating spacer after thorough debridement; in the second stage operation, the spacer was removed to implant a uncemented artificial hip prosthesis in 16 cases or a cemented artificial hip prosthesis in one case. Recorded were the results of microbial culture, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and therapeutic outcomes of the patients.Results:Pathogenic data were available in 13 patients and the culture was negative in 4. The pathogens were detected by metagenomic next-generation sequencing in 2 patients with culture negative. In the first stage operation, operation time averaged 140.6 min (from 90 to 176 min) and intraoperative blood loss 361.8 mL(from 100 to 1 000 mL); in the second stage operation, operation time averaged 130.3 min (from 91 to 166 min)and blood loss 291.2 mL(from 50 to 700 mL). The average interval between the first and the second stage operations was 115.0 days(from 66 to 227 d). During the interval, spacer fracture occurred in one case, spacer dislocation in one case and lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in one case. All the patients were followed up for 12 to 82 months (average, 36.7 months) after second stage operation. The inflammatory indexes decreased to normal in all the 17 patients and infection recurrence was observed in none of them.Conclusions:Two-stage total hip arthroplasty may result in a high rate of successful treatment of chronic septic hip arthritis. Specific use of sensitive antibiotics after identification of specific pathogenic microorganisms by multiple methods is the key to a successful treatment.

Metabolic regulation has been proven to play a critical role in T cell antitumor immunity. However, cholesterol metabolism as a key component of this regulation remains largely unexplored. Herein, we found that the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), which has been previously identified as a transporter for cholesterol, plays a pivotal role in regulating CD8
