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 investigate and analyze the current situation and influencing factors of the establishment demand for electronic health records (EHR) of residents in Sichuan and Hainan Province under the “Internet+healthcare” ecology.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. A total of 1 200 residents in Sichuan and Hainan Province were selected with convenient sampling method from June to December 2022. A self-designed questionnaire was conducted through the Questionnaire Star online survey, and the survey mainly included general demographic data and basic establishment demands of electronic health records. A total of 1 200 questionnaires were distributed and 1 200 questionnaires returned with 1 170 valid questionnaires (97.5%), including 409 from Sichuan and 761 from Hainan. Chi-square test was used to compare the differences between the two provinces in the demographic characteristics, basic needs, and binary variables of willingness to application file establishment and physical examination file establishment. Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the differences in multiple categorical variables between the two provinces. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of the establishment needs of the electronic health records.Results:The proportions of residents with bachelor degree or above and those with a family population of less than 3 people in Sichuan were both significantly higher than those in Hainan (55.3% vs 47.4%, 38.4% vs 29.2%); but the proportions of mean monthly income ≤10 000 yuan, annual physical examination, self-health management habits, and having children were all significantly lower than those in Hainan (82.2% vs 87.9%, 67.2% vs 74.4%, 78.5% vs 83.7%, 67.2% vs 73.3%) (all P<0.05). The people who were living in the city, having a mean monthly income >10 000 yuan, receiving annual physical examination, not lived alone, having self-health management habits, knowing the electronic health record, willing to manage the electronic health record by themselves, expecting to manage the health record online, needing special assistance to manage the health record, and willing to pay for additional services were more likely to use the application to establish health records (68.7% vs 56.7%, 82.4% vs 63.0%, 72.2% vs 55.3%, 68.8% vs 62.7%, 69.0% vs 60.4%, 73.2% vs 60.4%, 71.9% vs 36.7%, 71.5% vs 45.7%, 76.6% vs 43.3%, 80.1% vs 44.0%) (all P<0.05). Residents who lived in cities, had annual physical examination, had children, and were willing to manage health records by themselves were more likely to establish physical examination files (46.0% vs 32.5%, 47.9% vs 36.2%, 47.1% vs 33.2%, 45.9% vs 34.4%) (all P<0.05). Willing to manage electronic health records by themselves ( OR=3.803, 95% CI: 2.013-6.875), managing electronic health records online ( OR=1.942, 95% CI: 1.110-3.400), managing electronic health records with dedicated person ( OR=3.277, 95% CI: 2.028-5.294), willing to pay for electronic health records ( OR=3.557, 95% CI: 2.182-5.800), having electronic physical examination records ( OR=1.850, 95% CI: 1.191-2.872) were positively correlated with the willingness to use the application to establish health files, and the age ( OR=0.681, 95% CI: 0.469-0.989) was negatively correlated with the willingness to use the application to establish health files (all P<0.05). Having chronic diseases ( OR=1.389, 95% CI: 1.032-1.868) and willing to manage electronic health records by themselves ( OR=1.553, 95% CI: 1.004-2.401) were positively correlated with willingness to set up health files. Receiving annual physical examination ( OR=0.669, 95% CI: 0.497-0.901), willing to pay for electronic health records ( OR=0.576, 95% CI: 0.423-0.783), willing to use the application to establish health files ( OR=0.715, 95% CI: 0.582-0.979) were negatively correlated with willingness to establish files for physical examination (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Residents in Sichuan and Hainan Province have a high demand for electronic health records, which is affected by many factors. Age and chronic diseases are the significant factors influencing residents′ choices of using apps and physical examinations to establish their health records.

Improving liver regeneration (LR) remains a medical issue, and there is currently a lack of safe and effective drugs for LR. Rhizoma Dioscoreae (SanYak, SY) is a traditional Chinese medicine. However, the underlying action mechanism of SY treatment for LR is yet to be fully elucidated. To explore the mechanism by which SY affects LR, we have conducted a series of methods for network pharmacological analysis, molecular docking, and in vivo experimental validation in mice. Overall, 9 compounds and 30 predicted target genes of SY were found to be associated with the therapeutic effects of LR. Compared with the model group, hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed that the mice with preoperative drug intervention possessed fewer postoperative hepatocyte bubbles and relatively regular morphology. Furthermore, the serum alanine transaminase and aspartate aminotransferase levels were reduced, immunohistochemistry revealed elevated proliferating cell nuclear antigen positivity rate, and Western blotting demonstrated that the phospho-protein kinase B (AKT)/AKT ratio was downregulated and that vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) expression levels were upregulated. This study explored dioscin, the main active ingredient of SY, and its potential therapeutic effects on LR. It repairs damaged liver following surgery and promotes liver cell proliferation. The action mechanism comprises reducing AKT phosphorylation levels and upregulating VEGFA expression levels. Thus, this study provides a new direction for further research on the mechanism of SY promoting LR.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of emergency medical service (EMS) on the prognosis of ischemic stroke patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis. METHODS: Clinical data of 2123 ischemic stroke patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis in 70 hospitals in Zhejiang province were retrospectively analyzed. There were 808 patients sent to the hospital by ambulance (EMS group) and 1315 patients by other transportations (non-EMS group). Good outcome was defined as modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ≤ 2 at 3-month. The onset to needle time (ONT), onset to door time (ODT), door to needle time (DNT) and outcome were compared between EMS group and non-EMS group. Binary logistic regression was used to explore the influencing factors for the outcome at 3-month. RESULTS: Compared with the non-EMS group, patients in the EMS group were older, with higher baseline National Institute of Health Sroke Scale (NIHSS) score, and had a higher proportion of atrial fibrillation (all <0.05), but there were no significant differences in ONT, ODT and DNT between two groups (all >0.05). Binary logistic regression showed that EMS was not independently associated with good outcome (=0.856, 95%:0.664-1.103, >0.05). CONCLUSIONS EMS had not improve the outcome of patients receiving intravenous thrombolysis in Zhejiang province.
