Objective:To establish an antibody expression system to reduce the antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) effect of target antibody.Methods:Site-directed mutagenesis was used to mutate the 234 and 235 sites of the Fc region of the mammalian cell antibody expression vector-L234A and L235A to establish the antibody expression vector pFRT-IgG1κ-FcM. An antibody Wt-WNV with significant ADE effect obtained in previous work was selected and expressed by the pFRT-IgG1κ-FcM system to obtain mutant antibody FcM-WNV. The binding ability of FcM-WNV to target antigen West Nile virus envelope protein-DⅢ (WNV E-DⅢ) was detected by ELISA, and the its binding ability to human high-affinity IgG Fc receptor hFcγRⅠ (hCD64 ) was analyzed by flow cytometry. The neutralizing activity of FcM-WNV in vitro was detected by pseudovirus infection of host cells (BHK21 and K562). Results:The expression levels of FcM-WNV and Wt-WNV were comparable, and FcM-WNV could recognize and bind to WNVE-DIII in a concentration-dependent manner. Compared with Wt-WNV, the binding ability of FcM-WNV to hCD64 was significantly weakened, showing a significant decrease in fluorescence intensity. Consistent with the previous experimental results, Wt-WNV at a concentration of 5 μg/ml significantly enhanced the infection of K562 by WNV pseudovirus, while FcM-WNV at a concentration of 5 μg/ml could effectively block pseudovirus infection in both K562 and BHK21 cells.Conclusions:The established antibody expression system can effectively reduce the ADE effect of the target antibody.

Objective To analyze the incidence and risk factors of hypothermia in elderly patients with malnutrition during proximal femoral nail antirotation(PFNA)internal fixation under general anesthesia.Methods A total of 139 elderly patients underwent PFNA internal fixation under general anesthesia were selected,and the nutritional status scores 1 day before surgery ranged from 0 to 11 points.Univariate and multivariate Logistic binary regression analysis was performed to analyze the related factors that may lead to intraoperative hypothermia.Results Among 139 elderly patients with preoperative nutritional scores of 0 to 11 points,79 cases(56.83%)developed intraoperative hypothermia.The results of univariate and multivariate Logistic binary regression analysis suggested that age≥75 years old,mini nutritional assessment short form(MNA-SF)nutritional score 0 to 7 points,BMI<18.5 kg/m2,duration of general anesthesia≥2 hours,intraoperative flushing fluid volume≥1 000 mL and intraoperative fluid volume≥1 000 mL were the risk factors for the occurrence of intraoperative hypothermia in elderly patients(OR>1,P<0.05).The use of warm blanket insulation was the protective factor against the occurrence of intraoperative hypothermia(OR<1,P<0.05).Conclusion The incidence of intraoperative hypothermia during PFNA internal fixation under general anesthesia in elderly patients with mainutrition before operation is high,and patients with poor nutritional status are more likely to develop intraoperative hypothermia.Patients with older age,poor nutritional status,lower BMI,longer duration of general anesthesia,and more intraoperative flushing fluid volume and intraoperative fluid volume are likely to lead to intraoperative hypothermia.The use of warm blanket can reduce the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia.

Objective:To establish an in vivo infection model of West Nile virus (WNV) pseudovirus and evaluate the neutralizing activity of antibody WNV-XH1.Methods:A stable cell line that can package the WNV pseudovirus was established in the early stage to prepare the pseudovirus supernatant. The supernatant was concentrated and infected BHK21 cells to detect the titer of the pseudovirus. After intraperitoneal injection of the pseudovirus into C57BL/J mice, bioluminescence imaging was performed to observe the infection status of the pseudovirus in the mice. After simultaneous infection, blood was collected and ELISA was used to detect NS1 levels in mouse serum. The in vivo functional activity of antibody WNV-XH1 was evaluated using the established mouse infection model.Results:Fluorescence was detected in C57BL/J mice infected with WNV pseudovirus, and the NS1 levels in the peripheral blood serum of mice infected with pseudovirus were significantly higher than those of non infected mice (1.453±0.09vs0.305±0.018). After intravenous administration of WNV-XH1 antibody before the attack, the fluorescence signal in the mice decreased and the serum NS1 level decreased (0.384±0.015).Conclusions:A successful in vivo infection model of WNV pseudovirus was established, and it was confirmed that the antibody WNV-XH1 had a protective effect against WNV pseudovirus infection in vivo.

Objective To study the application effect of Glisson hepatic pedicle priority approach marked by APR triangle in laparoscopic anatomic right hemihepatectomy(LARH).Methods The clinical data of 66 patients underwent LARH in the Affiliated Hospital of Tangshan Vocational and Technical College were retrospectively analyzed.According to the surgical approaches,the patients were divided into the extrathecal group and the APR group.The 35 patients of the extrathecal group underwent LARH via Glisson hepatic pedicle extrathecal approach.The 31 patients of the APR group were treated with LARH through the Glisson hepatic pedicle priority approach marked by APR triangle.The clinical data including perioperative indexes,postoperative complications,oxidative stress and liver function indexes of patients in the two groups were statistically analyzed,and the differences between the two groups were compared.Results The operative time and intraoperative blood loss of patients in the APR group were significantly shorter/less than those in the extrathecal group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).There was no significant differences in the intraoperative blood transfusion ratio,drainage tube indwelling time,first exhaust time,postoperative hospitalization time or postoperative complications of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).The levels of malondialdehyde(MDA),cortisol(Cor)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)at each time point after surgery of patients in the two groups were significantly different from those before surgery(P<0.05),and the levels of MDA,Cor and SOD at each time point after surgery of patients in the APR group were significantly better than those in the extrathecal group(P<0.05).The levels of albumin(ALB),total bilirubin(TBil),aspartate aminotransferase(AST)and alanine aminotransferase(ALT)at each time point after surgery of patients in the two groups were significantly different from those before surgery(P<0.05).Moreover,the levels of ALB,TBil,AST and ALT at each time point after surgery of patients in the APR group were significantly better than those in the extrathecal group(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with the Glisson hepatic pedicle extrathecal approach,the Glisson hepatic pedicle priority approach marked by APR triangle in LARH has shorter operation time,less bleeding and less oxidative stress reaction,which is beneficial to the recovery of liver function after surgery.

Objective:To understand the current state of ethical competence levels of nurses and analyse the factors that influence them, in order to inform the development of targeted training programmes.Methods:This study adopted a cross-sectional survey method and used convenience sampling to select 825 clinical nurses from Tianjin Chest Hospital as the survey objects from July to August, 2023, and a questionnaire survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, the Ethical Competence Scale, Ethical Competence Support Scale, and Ethical Safety Scale.Results:A total of 818 valid questionnaires were retracted. Among the 818 nurses, 48 were males and 770 were females, the age was (33.19 ± 7.40) years.

The total score of nurses ′ ethical competence were positively correlated with ethical competence support and ethical safety ( r=0.856, 0.830, both P<0.01); multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the department, the level of ethical competence support, and the level of ethical safety were the influencing factors of the level of ethical competence ( t=5.19, 12.35, 3.88, all P<0.01). Conclusions:Nurses ′ ethical competence, ethical competence support, and ethical safety were at a high level, and the department, the level of ethical competence support, and the level of ethical safety were the factors influencing the level of ethical competence. Nursing managers can provide more ethical education and address ethical issues in multiprofessional discussions, strengthen organizational and personal support for nurses ′ ethical competence, improve nurses ′ ethical safety, and help them implement good ethical care.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of pneumococcal meningitis(PM),and drug sensitivity of Streptococcus pneumoniae(SP)isolates in Chinese children.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical information,laboratory data,and microbiological data of 160 hospitalized children under 15 years old with PM from January 2019 to December 2020 in 33 tertiary hospitals across the country.Results Among the 160 children with PM,there were 103 males and 57 females.The age ranged from 15 days to 15 years,with 109 cases(68.1% )aged 3 months to under 3 years.SP strains were isolated from 95 cases(59.4% )in cerebrospinal fluid cultures and from 57 cases(35.6% )in blood cultures.The positive rates of SP detection by cerebrospinal fluid metagenomic next-generation sequencing and cerebrospinal fluid SP antigen testing were 40% (35/87)and 27% (21/78),respectively.Fifty-five cases(34.4% )had one or more risk factors for purulent meningitis,113 cases(70.6% )had one or more extra-cranial infectious foci,and 18 cases(11.3% )had underlying diseases.The most common clinical symptoms were fever(147 cases,91.9% ),followed by lethargy(98 cases,61.3% )and vomiting(61 cases,38.1% ).Sixty-nine cases(43.1% )experienced intracranial complications during hospitalization,with subdural effusion and/or empyema being the most common complication[43 cases(26.9% )],followed by hydrocephalus in 24 cases(15.0% ),brain abscess in 23 cases(14.4% ),and cerebral hemorrhage in 8 cases(5.0% ).Subdural effusion and/or empyema and hydrocephalus mainly occurred in children under 1 year old,with rates of 91% (39/43)and 83% (20/24),respectively.SP strains exhibited complete sensitivity to vancomycin(100% ,75/75),linezolid(100% ,56/56),and meropenem(100% ,6/6).High sensitivity rates were also observed for levofloxacin(81% ,22/27),moxifloxacin(82% ,14/17),rifampicin(96% ,25/26),and chloramphenicol(91% ,21/23).However,low sensitivity rates were found for penicillin(16% ,11/68)and clindamycin(6% ,1/17),and SP strains were completely resistant to erythromycin(100% ,31/31).The rates of discharge with cure and improvement were 22.5% (36/160)and 66.2% (106/160),respectively,while 18 cases(11.3% )had adverse outcomes.Conclusions Pediatric PM is more common in children aged 3 months to under 3 years.Intracranial complications are more frequently observed in children under 1 year old.Fever is the most common clinical manifestation of PM,and subdural effusion/emphysema and hydrocephalus are the most frequent complications.Non-culture detection methods for cerebrospinal fluid can improve pathogen detection rates.Adverse outcomes can be noted in more than 10% of PM cases.SP strains are high sensitivity to vancomycin,linezolid,meropenem,levofloxacin,moxifloxacin,rifampicin,and chloramphenicol.[Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics,2024,26(2):131-138]

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of CD30 antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) brentuximab vedotin (BV) combined with chemotherapy in children with refractory or relapsed classic Hodgkin′s lymphoma (R/R cHL).Methods:Clinical data (including age, gender, B symptoms, clinical stage, previous treatment, etc.) of the 10 R/R cHL children diagnosed and treated at Beijing Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from October 2021 to August 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the different intensity of chemotherapy drugs, the dose of BV applied in the same course of treatment was 1.8 mg/kg for BV applied once every 3 weeks, and 1.2 mg/kg for BV applied once every 2 weeks. All 10 patients received at least 2 cycles of BV combined with chemotherapy and were evaluated every 2 cycles. The patients were followed up until May 31, 2024. The infusion reactions and adverse reactions after treatment were recorded.Results:In all 10 patients, there were 7 males and 3 females, the age ranged from 5.3-16.9 years, and there were 6 cases of refractory and 4 cases of relapsed. There were 6 cases of nodular sclerosis type, 2 cases of mixed cell type, 1 case of lymphocyte-rich type, and 1 case of lymphodepletion type. There were 5 cases of stage Ⅳ and 5 cases of stage Ⅲ. Previous treatment was mainly chemotherapy, 4 cases received radiotherapy and 1 case received programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) antibody therapy. The follow-up time ranged from 9 to 27 months. A total of 43 courses with 49 doses of BV alone or combined with chemotherapy were recorded, and the number of courses was 2 to 10 times. All 10 children responded to the treatment, and 9 achieved complete remission. BV infusion was successfully completed in all cases. A total of 28 cases of grade 3 or above adverse events were recorded, mainly myelosuppression, all of which were related to chemotherapy and did not affect sequential treatment.Conclusion:Brentuximab vedotin has demonstrated efficacy and a tolerable safety profile in the treatment of refractory and relapsed CD30-positive Hodgkin′s lymphoma in children.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between IGF2BP3 gene expression and prognosis in patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML).Methods:High throughput transcriptome sequencing was performed on bone marrow primary leukemia cells from 27 patients with AML in our center,the relationship between IGF2BP3 expression levels and clinical characteristics were analyzed and verify the samples from patients with newly treated AML and refractory AML.The expression level of IGF2BP3 gene were analyzed in 20 healthy subjects and 26 patients with AML.The expression of IGF2BP3 in two anthracycline-resistant cell lines(HL60/ADR,K562/ADR)was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot,and the expression difference of IGF2BP3 was compared with that in sensitive cells(HL60,K562).The relationship between the expression level of IGF2BP3 in patients with AML and prognostic were analyzed through data analysis of 746 patients with AML,and the prognostic value of IGF2BP3 in AML was analyzed by multivariate Cox regression analysis.Results:In the bone marrow primary leukemia cells of 27 AML patients in our center,the expression level of IGF2BP3 in patients with refractory AML was significantly higher than that in chemotherapy sensitive patients(P=0.0343).The expression of IGF2BP3 in leukemia patients with extramedullary infiltration(EMI)was significantly higher than that in AML patients without extramedullary infiltration(P=0.0049).Compared with healthy subjects(n=20),IGF2BP3 expression in AML patients(n=26)was higher(P=0.0009).The expression of IGF2BP3 mRNA in the anthracycline resistant cell lines(HL60/ADR,K562/ADR)was significantly higher than that in the sensitive cell lines(K562/ADR vs K562,P=0.0430;HL60/ADR vs HL60,P=0.7369).Western blot results showed that the expression of IGF2BP3 protein in mycin resistant cells was significantly higher than that in sensitive cells(P＜0.001).qPCR results showed that the expression level of IGF2BP3 mRNA in refractory AML patients was significantly higher than that in patients with chemotherapy sensitive(P=0.002).High expression of IGF2BP3 was associated with poor prognosis in AML(P＜0.05)in 3 large sample cohorts of AML patients.Univariate and multivariate prognostic analyses demonstrated that high expression of IGF2BP3 was significantly associated with shorter event-free survival(EFS,HR=1.887,P=0.024)and overall survival(OS,HR=1.619,P=0.016).Conclusion:The high expression of IGF2BP3 gene may be an important factor in the poor prognosis of AML,suggesting that IGF2BP3 gene may be a new molecular marker for the clinical prognosis evaluation and treatment strategy of AML.

Objective:To understand the etiology,clinical characteristics and prognosis of secondary hemophagocytic syndrome(HLH),so as to improve the understanding of HLH and reduce the rates of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis of HLH.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the cause,clinical characteristics,laboratory findings,therapy and outcomes of 75 adult patients with secondary HLH admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to December 2021.Follow-up continued until the last discharge time.Results:Among 75 patients,infection-related HLH was the most common(45.33％),followed by lymphoma-related HLH(17.33％).Fever was the most common clinical manifestation(97.67％).Laboratory indicators such as NK cell activity(98.31％low or absent),sCD25(93.22％increased),and serum ferritin(94.44％elevated)had higher sensitivity in diagnosis.By comparing the clinical manifestations and laboratory indicators of HLH patients with different causes,sex,lymph node enlargement and bone marrow morphology were more valuable for the diagnosis of primary disease(all P＜0.05).By comparing the treatment and clinical outcomes of HLH patients with different causes,the highest clinical remission rate(83.3％)was achieved in patients with autoimmune disease-related HLH treated with hormone+cyclosporine(P＜0.05).The overall 12-month survival rate of all patients was 26.7％,in which the infection-related HLH was the lowest(14.7％)while autoimmune disease-related HLH was the highest(63.6％).Conclusion:The causes and clinical characteristics of adult secondary HLH are varied,with poor prognosis and heterogeneity in disease severity.It is important to identify HLH cause early for diagnosis and needed to further understand HLH.

Objective:This study aims to evaluate the impact of Diagnosis-Related-Groups(DRGs)payment on the average total cost,length of stay,service volume,effectiveness,and characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)hospitals.Methods:A national medical center specializing in TCM was selected as the research subject.The Difference-in-Difference Model(DID)was utilized to analyze the differences in various indicators between insured patients(intervention group)and uninsured patients(control group)before and after the implementation of the payment reform policy.The reliability and stability of the model were verified through parallel trend tests and placebo tests.Results:The coefficients of DID interaction terms for eleven indicators including average total hospitalization cost,number of cases,length of stay,proportion of medical service revenue,and proportion of herbal medicine revenue were significant(P<0.05).The DID interaction term coefficients for four indicators including herbal medicine usage rate and proportion of non-pharmacological TCM therapy revenue were not significant(P>0.05).Conclusion:DRG payment significantly reduced the per-admission cost,with significant decreases in consumables and medical technology expenses,optimizing cost structure,and a slight decrease in the proportion of herbal medicine costs.It is necessary to further expand the sample size,track policy impacts,and comprehensively evaluate the effects of DRG payment on TCM hospitals in China.
