Objective:To investigate the molecular mechanism and distribution characteristics of RhD negative phenotypes in Han population of blood donors in Wuhu city.Methods:A total of 210 RhD-samples from August 2021 to August 2022 were screened by serological test and collected from Wuhu Central Blood Station for the voluntary blood donor population.Exons 1 and 10 of the RHD gene were amplificated by PCR to determine whether the samples had the RHD gene.Exons 1-10 of the RHD gene were amplificated by PCR and zygosity analysis were performed in 82 samples containing D gene,and Sanger sequencing was performed on 55 samples containing all RHD exons to determine the genotype.Results:Among 210 RhD-specimens,128 cases(60.38％)had RHD gene deletion.27 cases had partial exons of RHD,including 2 cases with RHD*DVI.3/RHD*01N.01,24 cases with RHD*01N.04/RHD*01N.01,and 1 case with RHD-CE(2-10)/RHD*01N.01.55 cases had retained all of 10 exons,including 4 cases with RHD*01/RHD*01N.01,6 cases with RHD*15/RHD*01N.01,1 case with RHD*01W.72/RHD*01N.01,1 case with RHD*15/RHD*01EL.01,39 cases with RHD*01EL.01/RHD*01N.01,and the remaining 4 cases were determined to have no RHD gene deletion by zygosity analysis and sequencing showed the presence of 1227G＞A mutation loci.Conclusion:There is polymorphism in the molecular mechanism of RhD-D gene in Wuhu blood donor population,among which RHD*01EL.01 and RHD*15 are the main variants in this region.The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for RhD blood group identification and clinical blood transfusion in this region.

Objective: To determine the characteristics and progress of the visual acuity and refractive state of schoolchildren in Huangzhong District, Xining City, Qinghai Province in China. Methods: Cohort study. Department of Ophthalmology, Beijing Children's Hospital carried out a cohort study by collecting the visual acuity and refractive state of Grade 1-5 schoolchildren among 16 primary schools in Huangzhong District, Xining City, Qinghai Province in September 2020 and July 2021. Cycloplegic retinoscopy with eye drop which contained tropicamide (0.5%) and phenylephrine hydrochloride (0.5%) was performed in children with low vision(<1.0). Myopia was defined as the spherical equivalent (SE) ≤-0.5 D after cycloplegic retinoscopy. Measurement data was analyzed by t-test and enumeration data was analyzed by χ² test. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors. Results: The 2 489 individuals with repeated tests in two years were included in the follow-up study, among whom the prevalence of myopia was 26.24%(653/2 489) in 2020, while 32.94% (820/2 489)respectively in 2021. The incidence of myopia in one school year from grades 1 to 5 was 11.19%(47/420), 5.44%(21/386), 6.39%(25/391), 11.52%(44/382) and 11.67%(30/257). The average SE of children in all grades in 2021 increased negatively from the previous year (Grade 1 to Grade 5 increased respectively: 0.40 D, 0.69 D, 0.62 D, 0.52 D and 0.37 D). Conclusions: The prevalence of myopia among schoolchildren in Huangzhong District, Xining City, Qinghai Province was relatively high. There were two peaks of myopia incidence in the first, fourth and fifth grades. Female, age, and the baseline of SE were the related influencing factors for myopia progression.

Moringa oleifera is a typical tropical multi-functional fast-growing tree species， which is native to India and now widely planted in various tropical regions. After some research and textual research， the records of M. oleifera in China can be traced back to the The Bower Manuscript（volume Ⅱ）（about the 4^th—6^th century A.D.） unearthed in Kuqa， Xinjiang. M. oleifera contains a variety of active ingredients such as flavonoids， alkaloids， glycosides， organic esters and rich nutrients， which has outstanding medicinal and economic value. As a result， M. oleifera is widely used in food additives， water purification agents， medicine and health care and other fields. In 2012， the Ministry of Health approved M. oleifera as a new resource food. In the current trend of medicine diet and health preservation of traditional Chinese medicine， M. oleifera stands out， which not only expands the direction for the development of health products， but also enriches the development demand of traditional Chinese medicine in our country. However， in our country， the research on M. oleifera is mainly focused on the extraction of chemical components， analysis of nutritional components， consumption and content determination， and the research on its composition and pharmacological action is one-sided. For this purpose， this paper briefly reviewed the active components， hypoglycemic and treatment of diabetic complications， hypolipidemic， antioxidant， anti-inflammatory and applied research status of M. oleifera， and looked forward to the future development and utilization of M. oleifera leaves in China.

Objective: To determine the impact of inflammatory reaction levels and the culprit plaque characteristics on preprocedural Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: The is a retrospective study. A total of 1 268 STEMI patients who underwent pre-intervention optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination of culprit lesion during emergency PCI were divided into 2 groups by preprocedural TIMI flow grade (TIMI 0-1 group (n =964, 76.0%) and TIMI 2-3 group (n =304, 24.0%)). Baseline clinical data of the 2 groups were collected; blood samples were collected for the detection of inflammatory markers such as high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), myocardial injury marker, blood lipid, etc.; echocardiography was used to determine left ventricular ejection fraction; coronary angiography and OCT were performed to define the lesion length, diameter stenosis degree of the infarct-related arteries, presence or absence of complex lesions, culprit lesion type, area stenosis degree and vulnerability of culprit plaques. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent correlation factors. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of continuous independent correlation factors was analyzed, and the best cut-off value of TIMI 0-1 was respectively determined according to the maximum value of Youden index. Results: The mean age of 1 268 STEMI patients were (57.6±11.4) years old and 923 cases were males (72.8%). Compared with TIMI 2-3 group, the patients in TIMI 0-1 group were older and had higher N-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide level, lower cardiac troponin I (cTnI) level, lower left ventricular ejection fraction, and higher hsCRP level (5.16(2.06, 11.78) mg/L vs. 3.73(1.51, 10.46) mg/L). Moreover, the hsCRP level of patients in TIMI 0-1 group was higher in the plaque rupture subgroup (all P<0.05). Coronary angiography results showed that compared with TIMI 2-3 group, the proportion of right coronary artery (RCA) as the infarct-related artery was higher, the angiographical lesion length was longer, minimal lumen diameter was smaller, and diameter stenosis was larger in TIMI 0-1 group (all P<0.05). The prevalence of plaque rupture was higher (75.8% vs. 61.2%) in TIMI 0-1 group. Plaque vulnerability was significantly higher in TIMI 0-1 group than that in TIMI 2-3 group with larger mean lipid arc (241.27°±46.78° vs. 228.30°±46.32°), more thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA, 72.4% vs. 57.9%), more frequent appearance of macrophage accumulation (84.4% vs. 70.7%) and cholesterol crystals (39.1% vs. 25.7%). Minimal flow area was smaller [1.3(1.1-1.7)mm² vs. 1.4(1.1-1.9)mm², all P<0.05] and flow area stenosis was higher (78.2%±10.6% vs. 76.3%±12.3%) in TIMI 0-1 group. Multivariable analysis showed that mean lipid arc>255.55°, cholesterol crystals, angiographical lesion length>16.14 mm, and hsCRP>3.29 mg/L were the independent correlation factors of reduced preprocedural TIMI flow grade in STEMI patients. Conclusions: Plaque vulnerability and inflammation are closely related to reduced preprocedural TIMI flow grade in STEMI patients.

Standardized surgical residency training is an important part of graduate medical education, a necessary path towards becoming a surgeon with the capability to deal with common clinical surgical problems in an independent, correct and evidence-based manner. It is also the fundamental policy for homogeneous clinician training, medical human resources construction and improvement of health care quality. Since its nationwide implementation at the end of 2013, there have been great achievements while problems and confusions were also exposed. Surgical residency training is now facing new challenges and opportunities. With the rapid development of minimally invasive surgery, young surgeons have been actively promoted to learning laparoscopic technique; however,traditional surgical basic skills as well as the essence of handson apprenticeship shall not be neglected. In the meantime, the Internet, and the series of revolutions and breakthroughs it brings, need to be utilized in residency training and construction of a system for standardized training management,which can be a creative model for future medical education.

Raffinose series oligosaccharides are the transport and storage sugars of many plants, Rehmannia glutinosa is one of the commonly used Chinese herbal medicines, medicinal parts ist he roots. Root and tuber of R. glutinosa contains stachyose, raffinose and other oligosaccharides, but the study about the process of growth and development of other organs in the non-structural changes in sugar content is rare.In this study, leaves, stems and roots of R. glutinosa were used as materials to analyze the diurnal variation and the changes of sugar content of sucrose, raffinose and stachyose in different organs of R. glutinosa. The results showed that the content of sucrose in R. glutinosa leaves gradually increased from seedling stage.However, the content of stachyose did not change much at the early stage of growth, and the stachyose rapidly increased at the later stage of growth. The raffinose content gradually decreased throughout the growing season, young leaves of R. glutinosa have higher ability to sucrose synthesis than mature leaves, while mature leaf has higher raffinose and stachyose synthesis ability than young leaves. Sucrose and stachyose content in stem gradually increased, while there was little change in raffinose content. The content of raffinose and stachyose in root increased rapidly from the beginning of fast growing period, while the content of sucrose did not change much. The content of sucrose in leaves of R. glutinosa did not change much at day and night, while the daily changes of raffinose and stachyose contents were very obvious. The contents of raffinose and stachyose in daytime were higher than those at night. The content of raffinose in root and stem was not changed much, but the change of stachyose in root, stem and leaf was very obvious, especially in stem and leaf. In summary, the leaf is the main synthetic organ of raffinose, leaves, stems and roots are stachyose synthesis organ. Sucrose, raffinose and stachyose are the major transport forms of carbohydrates in R. glutinosa.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of primary seminal vesicle adenocarcinoma (SVAC). METHODS: We analyzed the clinical data and clinicopathological characteristics of 4 cases of primary SVAC treated in the Department of Urology of the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University and reviewed relevant literature. RESULTS: All the 4 patients were treated by open radical resection of the seminal vesicle and prostate and pathologically diagnosed with SVAC. Preoperative prostatic biopsy had shown 1 of the cases to be negative, while preoperative CT and transrectal ultrasound had revealed a huge pelvic cystic neoplasm in another patient. Immunohistochemistry manifested that the 4 cases were all negative for prostate-specific antigen (PSA), prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), and cytokeratin 20 (CK20), but positive for cancer antigen 125 (CA125) and CK7. All the patients recovered smoothly after surgery and experienced no recurrence or metastasis during 154, 41, 20, and 12 months of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Primary seminal vesicle carcinoma is extremely rare and presents in an advanced stage. Immunohistochemistry plays a valuable role in its differential diagnosis. Various combinations of radical surgery, radiotherapy, androgen-deprivation therapy, and chemotherapy are recommended for the treatment of the disease.

Objective To determine the chemical structure of the new compound and investigate the protective effects of Tinosporaic acid A and B towards in-vitro neuro. Methods The structures of two new compounds were established by analyzing its 1D and 2D NMR spectra as well as HRESIMS. Their neuroprotective effects with respect to the antioxidant properties were evaluated by radical scavenging tests and hydrogen peroxide-injured oxidative stress model in PC12 cell lines. Cell morphology of treated PC12 cells was observed by phase contrast microscopy. In-vitro MTT assay, lactate dehydrogenase activity assay and oxidative stress markers (intracellular ROS production, MDA level, and caspase-3 activity) were used to evaluate the protective effects against hydrogen peroxide induced cytotoxicity in PC12 cells. Results The two new compounds, named Tinosporaic acid A and B, were isolated and identified from the stem bark of Tinospora hainanensis. Cell viability studies identified a representative concentration for each extract that was subsequently used to measure oxidative stress markers. Both extracts were able to reverse the oxidative damage caused by hydrogen peroxide, thus promoting PC12 cells survival. The concentration of Tinosporaic acid A and B were 86.34 μg/mL and 22.06 μg/mL respectively, which is neuroprotective for EC50. The results indicated that both of them significantly attenuated hydrogen peroxide-induced neurotoxicity. Conclusion The two new compounds isolated from ethanol extracts of Tinospora hainanensis are the promising natural ones with neuroprotective activity and needed for further research.

Objective To investigate the antibacterial resistance in nationwide's tietiary hospitals and understand the trend of antimicrobial resistance.Methods All the clinical isolates were collected from 18 hospitals and the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were tested using agar dilution method recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) in central laboratory.The susceptibilities of isolates to antimicrobial agents were determined by using CLSI or European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) 2017 guideline.Results A total of 4333 pathogenic isolates from 18 tertiary hospitals in 18 cities nationwide over the period from July 2015 to June 2016 were studied.Based on the MIC results,Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae showed extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBLs) phenotype rates of 59.4％ and 27.5％,respectively;decreased by 7 to 10 percentage points comparing the last time.Carbapenems,amikacin,moxalactam,β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations,tigecycline,and fosfomycin displayed desirable antibacterial activity against Enterbacteriaceae,but a significant increasing of carbapenems resistance Klebsiella pneumoniae were noted.For non-fermenting Gram-negative isolates,resistance rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannnii to imipennnem were 29.5％ and 69.8％ and multidrug-resistant (MDR) detection rate were 35.6％ and 78.3％,extensively drug-resistant (XDR) were 10.2％ and 72.5％,respectively.Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from children were more resistant to β-lactam than those from adults and the old people,so bacterial resistance in children is an important problem in China.Conclusion Though the decline of ESBLs detection rate,carbapenem non-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae rates continued to increase,which should be paid more attention.

Objective To investigate the gram-positive coccus resistance in nationwide's tietiary hospitals and understand the trend of antimicrobial resistance.Methods All the clinical isolates were collected from 18 hospitals and the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were tested using agar/broth dilution method recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) in central laboratory.The susceptibilities of isolates to antimicrobial agents were determined by using CLSI or European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) 2017 guideline.Results A total of 2301 Gram-positive cocci isolated from 18 hospitals in 18 cities nationwide were studied.Based on the MIC results,the prevalence of methicillin resistant Stapylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin resistant Stapylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) were 39.9％ and 86.6％ respectively.No vancomycin insensitive Staphylococcus was detected.Staphylococcus aureus were 100％ susceptibile to linezolid and teicoplanin,but resistant or insensitive for drugs other than vancomycin were observed among Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CoNS).Antibiotic resistance rate of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcusfaecium to ampicillin were 4.5％ and 85.1％.The detectation rate of vancomycin resistant Enterococcus(VRE) was 2.1％.Nonsusceptibility rate of Enterococcus faecalis to linezolid was 7.8％,showing slight increase than last time.The prevalence of penicillin nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae (PNSSP) was 6.6％ based on non-meningitis and parenteral administration criterion;while for cases of oral penicillin,the rate was 70.0％,was as flat as last time.There were no significant differenees of resistance rates of Stapylococcus aureus,Stapylococcus epidermidis Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium among various groups such as different department,age,or specimen source.Conclusion Compared with past surveillance result,VRE detection ratio was steady,while MRSA detection ratio decreased.The emergence of resistance and non-susceptible strains to new antibiotics such as linezolid,tigecycline and daptomycin should be payed more attention.
