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.

Objective:To explore the related factors of vascular complications after liver transplantation in children.Methods:This is a retrospective case series research. The clinical data of 89 pediatric liver transplant patients admitted to the Organ Transplantation Center, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2016 to March 2024 were collected retrospectively. This study included 44 males and 45 females,aged from 4 months to 17 years. The ratio of graft to recipient weight was 0.6% to 7.7%. The primary diseases included 48 cases of biliary atresia and 41 cases of non-biliary atresia. The Wilcoxon rank sum test, χ2 test, and Fisher′s exact probability method were used for data analysis. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors of vascular complications. Results:All 89 children with liver transplantation completed surgery successfully. There were 8 cases of arterial complications after surgery, including 6 cases of hepatic artery thrombosis and 2 cases of hepatic artery stenosis. There were 16 cases of portal vein complications after surgery, including 9 cases of portal vein stenosis and 7 cases of portal vein thrombosis. The results of univariate analysis showed that the age of the recipient ≤1 year was the relevant factor for hepatic arterial complications( χ 2=4.772, P=0.029). The age of the recipient ≤1 year, the age of the donor, the hepatic phase, and the time of cold ischemia were the relevant factors for the occurrence of portal vein complications( χ 2=7.270, Z=388.500, Z=838.000, Z=894.500;all P<0.05). The results of multivariate analysis showed that age(≤1 year vs. >1 year) and duration of cold ischemia(every additional 1 hour) were independent related factors for portal vein complications after liver transplantation in children(both P<0.05). Conclusion:Children aged ≤1 year and with prolonged cold ischemia are more likely to develop portal vein complications after liver transplantation.

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 investigate the influencing factors of participation in free health check-up among community residents.Methods:From 2012 to 2022 Xinzhuang Community Health Service Center of Shanghai Minhang district provided 5 free health check-up for local residents, once every 2 years. Among 5 904 eligible community residents with a mean age of (66.01±5.87) years, 682 (11.55 %), 912 (15.45 %), 842 (14.26 %), 934 (15.82 %), 1 061 (17.97 %) and 1 473 (24.95 %) participated in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and 0 health check-ups during 10 years, respectively. The influencing factors of participant frequency were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression model.Results:Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age 65 years and above ( OR=0.685, 95% CI: 0.625-0.751, P<0.001), exercising once a week or more ( OR=1.142, 95% CI: 1.031-1.266, P=0.011), and underweight ( OR=0.665, 95% CI:0.496-0.891, P=0.006) were independent factors influencing the participant in free health check-up among community residents. Conclusion:Community residents with older age or underweight are less likely to participate free health check-up, while those with frequent exercise like to participate.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of all-cause death in hypertensive patients in the community.Methods:A cohort of 4 049 hypertensive patients who participated in annual health checkups at Xinzhuang Community Health Service Centre of Shanghai Minhang district from January to December 2012 were enrolled in the study. All-cause death was the endpoint event of this study, and patients were divided into a fatal group and a survival group. The collection date for the endpoint event was December 2022. A multivariate Cox regression model was used to analyse the independent risk factors of all-cause mortality among hypertensive patients in the community.Results:Among 4 049 patients aged (67.9±7.1) years, 1 856 (45.8%) were males. There were 610 cases in the fatal group and 3 439 cases in the survival group. Multivariate Cox proportional regression showed that male gender ( HR=1.446, 95% CI: 1.200-1.742, P<0.001), older age ( HR=1.130, 95% CI: 1.118-1.143, P<0.001), higher waist-to-height ratio ( HR=8.117, 95% CI: 2.235-29.481, P=0.001), positive urinary protein ( HR=2.974, 95% CI: 2.202-4.016, P<0.001), high fasting blood glucose ( HR=1.070, 95% CI: 1.012-1.131, P=0.017), and history of stroke ( HR=1.819, 95% CI: 1.414-2.340, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for all-cause mortality in hypertensive patients, while exercise≥1/week ( HR=0.816, 95% CI: 0.668-0.996, P=0.046) and taking lipid-lowering medications ( HR=0.459, 95% CI: 0.223-0.947, P=0.035) were protective factors for all-cause mortality. Conclusion:For hypertensive patients, male gender, older age, higher waist-to-height ratio, positive urinary protein, high fasting blood glucose, and history of stroke are risk factors for all-cause mortality, while exercise≥1/week and taking lipid-lowering medications are protective factors.

Objective:To analyze the association between sleep status and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring indicators in community-dwelling hypertensive patients.Methods:It was a cross sentional study. Hypertensive patients who underwent 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring from May 2021 to April 2023 in Shanghai Xinzhuang Town were enrolled. The demographic information and sleep status of patients were obtained from the questionnaire. A TM-2430 blood pressure monitor was used to measure 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure, and the relevant indicators, including blood pressure level and blood pressure coefficient of variation were documented. The association between sleep status and blood pressure indicators was analyzed with multivariate linear regression model.Results:A total 1 135 patients aged (65.07±12.61) years were enrolled, and 473 (41.67%) of whom were males. The sleep time was<7 hours in 76 cases, 7- 8 hours in 219 cases and >8 hours in 840 cases; the bedtime was earlier than 22∶00 in 415 cases, between 22∶00 and 23∶00 in 474 cases and later than 23∶00 in 246 cases; the wake-up time was before 6∶00 in 230 cases, between 6∶00 and 7∶00 in 521 cases and after 7∶00 in 384 cases. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that after controlling for gender and age, the sleep time was negatively associated with diurnal, noctumal and 24-hour diastolic blood pressure levels (all P<0.05), and positively associated with diurnal and noctumal systolic blood pressure coefficient of variation, noctumal diastolic blood pressure coefficient of variation, and 24-hour systolic blood pressure coefficient of variation (all P<0.05).The bedtime was positively associated with diurnal, noctumal and 24-hour diastolic blood pressure (all P<0.05), diastolic blood pressure (all P<0.05); and negatively associated with diurnal systolic blood pressure coefficient of variation, diurnal diastolic blood pressure coefficient of variation, noctumal systolic blood pressure coefficient of variation, 24-hour systolic blood pressure coefficient of variation, and 24-hour diastolic blood pressure coefficient of variation (all P<0.05). The wake-up time was positively associated with diurnal systolic blood pressure, diurnal, noctumal and 24-hour diastolic blood pressure (all P<0.05), and positively associated with diurmal systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure (both P<0.05). Conclusion:Sleep status is closely associated with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring indicators in community-dwelling hypertensive patients.
