Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of preoperative therapeutic plasma exchange(TPE)in pre-venting acute rejection after ABO incompatible kidney transplantation(ABOi-KT).Methods Nine patients with ABOi-KT who were admitted to the renal transplant department of our hospital from April 2022 to April 2024 were retrospectively ana-lyzed.They received a total of 28 TPEs before kidney transplantation,and the treatment plan was summarized as follows:The proportion of the substitute fluid,as well as the frequency and volume of TPE were determined based on the patient′s ABO blood group system antibody titer,gender,height,weight,hematocrit and other indicators upon admission.The pa-tient′s relevant laboratory indicators,including hemoglobin,platelets,leukocytes,coagulation function,total protein,albu-min,globulin,A/G,creatinine and urea nitrogen upon admission and after TPE were monitored and statistically analyzed.After transplantation,changes in renal function indicators such as ABO blood group system antibody titers,creatinine and u-rinary excretion were observed,and clinical symptoms of acute rejection,such as swelling,pain and edema in the transplan-ted kidney area were observed.Results Nine ABOi-KT patients had an average of about 3 TPEs before transplantation sur-gery,with an average total volume of approximately 2 500 mL to 3 500 mL per TPE,or approximately about 1.01 to 1.16 plasma volume(PV).After multiple TPEs,pre-transplantation antibody titers decreased by an average of 3 times compared to before TPE.There were no statistically significant differences in Hb,PLT,PT,PTA,INR,TBil,ALB,Cr and BUN(P＞0.05),while statistically significant differences were found in WBC,APTT,Fbg,TP,GLB and A/G(P＜0.05).After surgery,the creatinine level of 9 patients dropped to approximately 100 to 140 μmol/L,the urine output was normal,and the urine protein dropped to weakly positive or negative values.None of the nine patients experienced acute rejection.Con-clusion TPE can effectively reduce the level of ABO blood group antibody and prevent the occurrence of acute rejection in ABOi-KT patients.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of precise and empirical bismuth-containing quadruple therapy guided by clarithromycin sensitivity testing in the first eradication of Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) in Ningxia. Methods:From August 12, 2022 to March 22, 2023, 600 patients diagnosed as H. pylori-positive by 14C-urea breath test ( 14C-UBT) for the first time in People′s Hospital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Ningnan Hospital of People′s Hospital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Zhongwei People′s Hospital, Yanchi County People′s Hospital, and Pingluo People′s Hospital were selected, and divided into empirical treatment group (hereinafter referred to as the empirical group), genetic testing group (hereinafter referred to as the genetic group), and drug sensitivity testing group (hereinafter referred to as the drug sensitivity group) by using random number table with 200 patients in each group. The empirical group did not undergo drug sensitivity testing and genetic testing, while the genetic and drug sensitivity groups were confirmed to be sensitive to clarithromycin through genetic testing and drug sensitivity testing, and the patients with drug-resistant were excluded, respectively. All the patients of the 3 groups received the same clarithromycin bismuth-containing quadruple therapy. Intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses were performed to compare the eradication rates of H. pylori among 3 groups. Cost-effectiveness ratio (CER) and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) were used for cost-effectiveness and sensitivity analysis based on the ITT. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results:There were 200, 126, and 168 patients included in the empirical group, genetic group, and drug sensitivity group in ITT analysis, and 190, 123, and 164 patients were enrolled in the 3 groups in PP analysis, respectively. The results of ITT analysis showed that the eradication rates of H. pylori in the empirical group, genetic group, and drug sensitivity group were 80.5% (161/200), 94.4% (119/126), and 95.2% (160/168), respectively. The results of PP analysis indicated that the eradication rates of H. pylori in the 3 groups were 84.7% (161/190), 96.7% (119/123), and 97.6% (160/164), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=25.39 and 24.93, both P<0.001). The H. pylori eradication rates of genetic group and drug sensitivity group were both higher than that of empirical group in ITT and PP analysis( χ2=12.40, 17.80, 11.42, and 17.13; all P<0.001). The cost-effectiveness analysis showed that the direct treatment cost of the empirical group, genetic group, and drug sensitivity group was 400.8, 729.2, and 779.2 yuan, respectively, and the CER was 4.98, 7.72, and 8.18 yuan/%, respectively. Compared to the empirical group, the ICER of the genetic group and drug sensitivity group was 23.6 and 25.7 yuan/%, respectively. The sensitivity analysis demonstrated that, when the cost of genetic testing reduced or increased by 20%, the ICER of the genetic group compared to the empirical group was 21.8 or 25.5 yuan/%, respectively. When the cost of drug sensitivity testing reduced or increased by 20%, the ICER of the drug sensitivity group compared to the empirical group was 23.3 or 28.2 yuan/%. When the cost of gastroscopy reduced or increased by 20%, the ICER of the genetic group compared to the empirical group was 20.8 or 26.5 yuan/%, and the ICER of the drug sensitivity group compared to the empirical group was 23.0 or 28.4 yuan/%, respectively. Conclusion:In Ningxia, if the clarithromycin bismuth-containing quadruple regimen is applied as the first H. pylori eradication regimen, in order to achieve the clinical eradication efficacy of H. pylori, and the patients can accept an additional payment of 23.6 or 25.7 yuan for each 1% increasing in the H. pylori eradication rate, then the precision treatment after clarithromycin resistance test is recommended.

Objective:To study the basic situation of Yunnan Province Suncus murinus carrying plague phage and to explore its epidemiological significance. Methods:From 2015 to 2018, a survey of plague host animals was carried out in 10 investigation sites in the historical plague foci, new plague foci (after 1982) and stubborn plague foci of domestric mouse in Yunnan Province. The plague phage was isolated and cultured from the intestinal specimens of Suncus murinus. The growth of plaque was observed by double-layer plate method, and the morphology and structure of plague phage were observed under electron microscope. At the same time, intestinal samples were taken to detect the structural gene caf1 of F1 antigen of Yersinia pestis. Results:In this study, a total of 157 Suncus murinus were captured and 16 strains of plague phage were isolated, with a total isolation rate of 10.19%. There was no difference in plague phage isolation rate between historical plague foci (10.00%, 1/10) and stubborn plague foci (16.22%, 12/74), new plague foci (4.11%, 3/73, χ 2 = 0.00, P = 0.965; Fisher test, P = 1.000). However, there was a difference in plague phage isolation rate between stubborn plague foci and new plague foci (χ 2 = 5.88, P = 0.015). There was no significant difference in the isolation rate of plague phage among different sex, growth period and habitat ( P > 0.05). The plaque morphology of the isolated plague phage was diverse, of which four strains were myotavirus phages; and all samples were negative for F1 antigen structural gene caf1. Conclusions:Suncus murinus is widely distributed in the domestic mouse plague foci in Yunnan Province, and the animals carry a certain number of plague phage. Regular surveillance of Suncus murinus and their plague phage has a certain guiding significance for the surveillance and early warning of plague in Yunnan Province.

Objective:To study the method of intravascular angiography in vivo, analyze the clinical significance, and supply the basis of diagnosis and treatment of related orthopaedic diseases.Methods:The development was realized by improving the developer to increase the local concentration. Based on the study of Lijianmin-Chengkun Complexes and using the theory of magnetic microspheres, Fe 3O 4 magnetic microspheres with amino (negatively charged) shell are used to adsorb the aggregated ionic developer meglumine diatrizoate (positively charged diatrizoate). That is, by improving the method of developer, the magnetic microspheres can carry the developer to make new nanoparticles magnetic imaging composite particles. Under the action of external magnetic field, the magnetic imaging composite particles brought by blood circulation continue to stay and gather in the blood vessels in the magnetic field area, and the developer carried by the magnetic microspheres in the blood vessels in the magnetic field area is concentrated to reach the imaging concentration, so as to realize in vivo intravascular vascular imaging. By adjusting the ratio of the two reagents, the charge can be neutralized and condensed into small groups to improve the development efficiency. Thus, the electron microscope experiment, CT in vivo experiment, rabbit imaging experiment, experimental rabbit tissue picture confirmation, CT in vivo human body (the author is a volunteer) imaging experiment were carried out step by step. Results:Electron microscope experiment: meglumine diatrizoate, scanning electron microscope, the particle diameter is about 20 nm. Scanning electron microscope showed that the diameter of the magnetic microspheres was about 100 nm and the distribution was uniform. After the two reagents are mixed in a certain proportion, the neutralizing charge condenses into small groups, but it still has magnetohydrodynamic properties and strong paramagnetism. In vivo rabbit imaging experiment: the ideal intraosseous vascular imaging of the proximal tibia was captured. The tissue pictures of experimental rabbits confirmed that the distribution of Fe 3O 4 was obviously visible in the blood vessels in the proximal tibia on the side with magnetic field, but not on the side without magnetic field. In vivo human imaging experiment: the ideal intraosseous vascular imaging of the proximal fibula was captured. Conclusion:Through the preparation of new reagent of magnetic imaging composite particles (magnetic microspheres + meglumine diatrizoate), the concentration of in vivo bone developer can be achieved under the action of external magnetic field, and the in vivo external diameter ≥ 0.5mm can be achieved under CT thin-layer scanning.

Objective:To investigate the expression of miRNA-34b (miR-34b) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and its effect on proliferation and invasion of human NSCLC A549 cells in vitro.Methods:The specimens of cancer tissues and paracancerous normal epithelial tissues (more than 5 cm from the edge of the tumor) were collected from 40 NSCLC patients in Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital from June 2015 to March 2017. A549 cells were transfected with miR-34b mimics (experimental group) and irrelevant sequences (negative control group), respectively. The expression of miR-34b in tissues and each group of A549 cells was detected by reverse transcription real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The proliferation activity of A549 cells in the experimental group and the negative control group was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, and the invasion ability of A549 cells in the two groups was detected by Transwell assay.Results:The relative expression of miR-34b in NSCLC tissues was lower than that in paracancerous normal epithelial tissues (0.52±0.06 vs. 1.05±0.17), and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.001). The relative expression of miR-34b in A549 cells of the experimental group was higher than that in the negative control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). MTT assay showed that the cell proliferation ability (absorbance value) of A549 cells in the experimental group was lower than that in the negative control group after cultured for 24 and 48 hours (both P < 0.01). Transwell assay showed that the number of invaded A549 cells in the experimental group was less than that in the negative control group [(49.53±5.03) cells vs. (121.00±12.06) cells, P < 0.01]. Conclusions:The expression of miR-34b is low in NSCLC tissues, and the up-regulation of miR-34b expression can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of NSCLC A549 cells.

Osteosarcoma needs to continuously induce angiogenesis to satisfy its own nutritional supply in the process of development. Therefore, the inhibition of osteosarcoma cell-induced angiogenesis as a target has become a research hot in recent years. Currently, vascular inhibitors targeting mRNA-encoded protein have been applied in clinic, but the efficacy is poor. Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) is a type of RNA molecules that do not participate in protein coding. ncRNA can regulate the angiogenesis of osteosarcoma by regulating the secretion of vascular factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor, angiogenin-2 and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or the interaction between ncRNAs. This article reviews the role of ncRNA in the angiogenesis of osteosarcoma to provide references for clinical targeted therapy strategies for osteosarcoma.

Objective To investigate the effect of flash glucose monitoring (FGM) on ambulatory glucose profile of only oral antidiabetic drugs treated patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods Twenty-eight type 2 diabetic mellitus patients with only oral antidiabetic drugs treatment from August 2017 to January 2018 were enrolled. All the patients were exposed to FGM for 14 d without changing the original treatment and encouraged to manage self-behavior by adjusting diet and activity based on the blood glucose data obtained from the real-time scanning. The changes in glucose profile during the FGM period were observed, including estimated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), standard deviation of blood glucose, variable coefficient of blood glucose, mean amplitude of glycemic excursions, time in range (blood glucose 3.9 to 10.0 mmol/L), area under the curve hyperglycemia (blood glucose> 10.0 mmol/L) and area under the curve hypoglycemia (blood glucose<3.9 mmol/L). The blood glucose levels on second day and thirteenth day were used as baseline and end point respectively. Results All of the 28 patients did not change their anti-diabetic drug therapy and there were no adverse events occurred. The estimated HbA1c was significantly lower than the baseline HbA1c: (6.90 ± 1.48)% vs. (7.57 ± 1.35)%, and there was statistical difference (P = 0.004). The standard deviation of blood glucose, variable coefficient of blood glucose, mean amplitude of glycemic excursions, area under the curve hyperglycemia and area under the curve hypoglycemia at end were significantly lower than those at baseline: (2.07 ± 0.86) mmol/L vs. (2.44 ± 0.86) mmol/L, 0.26 ± 0.11 vs. 0.30 ± 0.11, (5.32 ± 2.75) mmol/L vs. (6.76 ± 3.06) mmol/L, 265 (0, 1 310) vs. 351 (107, 2 177) and 0 (0, 0) vs. 0 (0, 19), the time in range at end was significantly higher than that at baseline: (1 069 ± 386) min vs. (921 ± 449) min, and there were statistical differences (P＜0.05 or＜0.01). The rate of scanning was (12.92 ± 4.87) times/d. Conclusions FGM could be applied by type 2 diabetic mellitus patients to make self-glycemic management without changing therapy, reduce the estimated HbA1c,and hypoglycemia, and improve the glucose fluctuations, which may result from real-time scanning to find abnormal glycemia and adjust daily behavior.
