Objective:To evaluate the residual risk (RR) of transfusion transmitted HIV (TT-HIV) after the implementation of nucleic acid amplification test (NAT) in blood screening test among blood centers in China.Methods:The data of blood donors and HIV infection markers from 2017 to 2020 were collected from 28 blood centers via the Platform of Comparison of blood establishments Practice in Chinese Mainland. The new infection rate/window period mathematical model was used for two types of blood screening strategies, namely, two rounds ELISA plus individual NAT take turn with pooling NAT (2ELISA+ ID-NAT/MP-NAT) and two ELISA plus one round pooling NAT (2ELISA+ MP-NAT), and the RR of HIV infection was estimated also based on first donors (FDs) and repeated donors (RDs) in different blood donation years. T-test analyses were conducted for comparing TT HIV RR among FDs and RDs in different blood donation years with two blood screening strategies, and the variation trend of RR in HIV test was observed.Results:From 2017 to 2020, the RR of FDs in 2ELISA+ ID-NAT/MP-NAT blood screening strategy was 2.869/10 6 person-year, 3.795/10 6 persons-year, 3.879/10 6 person-year, and 2.890/10 6 person-year respectively. The RR of RDs was 1.797/10 6 person-year, 1.502/10 6 person-year, 1.857/10 6 person-year, and 1.483/10 6 person-year respectively. Significant difference exists between RR of FDs and RDs, with F=9.898 and p<0.05. In 2ELISA+ MP-NAT strategy, the RR of FDs was 3.508/10 6 person-year, 1.868/10 6 person-year, 2.204/10 6 person-year, and 1.765/10 6 person-year respectively. The RR of RDs was 0.948/10 6 person-year, 0.926/10 6 person-year, 0.748/10 6 person-year, and 0.682/10 6 person-year respectively. Statistical difference existed between RR of FDs and RDs, with F=17.126 and P<0.05. There was no significant difference between the RR of FDs in these two strategies with F=3.493 and P>0.05, while there was a difference between the RR of RDs in these two strategies with F=24.516 and P<0.05, and a difference between the RR of total donors (TDs) in these two strategies F=20.216 and P<0.05. Conclusions:The RR of TT HIV significantly decreased after the introduction of NAT into blood test among blood centers in China. There were some differences in the RR of HIV testing among different blood screening strategies. There could be significant differences in the RR of HIV testing among different groups of blood donors. Compared with FDs, RDs is the low risk group for HIV.

Objective To analyze the expression of m6A methyltransferase like 3(METTL3)gene in pan-tumor and its effect on tumor microenvironment.Methods The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database was used to analyze the gene sequencing and clinical data of patients with various tumors.The expressions of METTL3 gene in various tumors and its correlations with prognosis and tumor microenvironment were analyzed.Results METTL3 gene expression was upregulated in most malignancies,but only was associated with poor PFS of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and prostate cancer(P＜0.05).The expression of METTL3 gene was associated with the infiltration levels of many inmmunet cells in hepatocellular carcinoma and prostate cancer,as well as the expression levels of inhibitory immune checkpoint genes(P＜0.05).Conclusions METTL3 gene overexpression could affect the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma and prostate cancer,which maybe associated with immune invasion and inhibitory immune checkpoints increased.

Objective To explore the protective mechanism of RNA binding protein LIN28 on diabetic nephropathy(DN).Methods LIN28 was overexpressed or knocked down by adenovirus in HEK 293T cells.The gene and functional signaling pathway significantly changed after overexpression of LIN28 were obtained through RNA Seq transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis.HEK 293T cells were divided into the Control group,the Treatment group,the Adv-LIN28-OE+D-ribose group and the Adv-LIN28-NC+D-ribose group in in vitro LIN28 overexpression studies.And HEK 293T cells were divided into the Control group,the Treatment group,the Adv-shRNA LIN28+D-ribose group and the Adv-shRNA NT+D-ribose group in in vitro LIN28 knockdown studies.ELISA was used to detect the levels of human advanced glycation end products(AGEs)of cells supernatants in the above groups.Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of RAGE,NF-κB and MMP-2 of cells in the above groups.Results The results of RNA-Seq transcriptome sequencing,GO analysis and KEGG analysis showed that overexpression of LIN28 resulted in a significant down-regulation of AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in HEK 293T cells(P<0.05).The results of ELISA showed that compared with the Control group,the cell in the Treatment group produced a large amount of AGEs(P<0.05);compared with the Treatment group,the AGEs level of cells in the Adv-LIN28-OE+D-ribose group was significantly decreased(P<0.05),while the AGEs level of cells in the Adv-shRNA LIN28+D-ribose group was increased(P>0.05).The results of Western blot showed that compared with the Control group,the expression levels of RAGE,NF-κB and MMP-2 of cells in the Treatment group were significantly increased(P<0.05);compared with the Treatment group,the expression levels of RAGE,NF-κB and MMP-2 of cells in the Adv-LIN28-OE+D-ribose group were significantly decreased(P<0.05),while the expression levels of RAGE,NF-κB and MMP-2 of cells in the Adv-shRNA LIN28+D-ribose group were significantly increased(P>0.05).Conclusion Overexpression of LIN28 by adenovirus at the cellular level in vitro can lead to significant differential expression of thousands of genes.In particular,it can inhibit the diabetes and complications-related AGE-RAGE signaling pathway,which is critical in the progression of DN disease,and play a role in protecting DN.

Objective: To select the preferred flaps for the reconstruction of different maxillary defects and to propose a new classification of maxillary defects. Methods: A total of 219 patients (136 males and 83 females) underwent the simultaneous reconstruction of maxillary defects in the Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, between January 2005 and December 2018 were reviewed. Age ranged from 16 to 78 years. Based on the proposed new classification of the maxillary defects, 22 patients with class Ⅰ defects (inferior maxillectomy), 44 patients with class Ⅱ defects (supperior maxillectomy), 132 patients with class Ⅲ defects (total maxillectomy) and 21 patients with class Ⅳ defects (extensive maxillectomy) were enrolled. Survival rate, functional and aesthetic outcomes of flaps were evaluated. Survival analysis was performed in 169 patients with malignant tumor, Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the survival rate, and Log-rank method was used to compare the difference of survival rate in each group. Results: A total of 234 repairs for maxillary defects were performed in 219 patients. Fibula flaps were used in 4/13 of class Ⅰ defects; temporal muscle flaps (11/24, 45.8%) and anterolateral thigh flaps (6/24, 25.0%) used in class Ⅱ defects; temporal muscle flaps (71/128, 55.5%), anterolateral thigh flaps (6/24, 25.0%) and fibula flaps (12/128, 9.4%) used in class Ⅲ defects; and anterolateral thigh flaps (8/20, 40.0%) and rectus abdominis flaps (8/20, 40.0%) used in class Ⅳ defects. The success rate of local pedicled flaps was 95.6% (109/114) and that of free flaps was 95.8% (115/120). Thrombosis(10/234,4.3%) was a main reason for repair failure. Among the followed-up 88 patients, swallowing and speech functions recovered, 82 (93.2%) of them were satisfied with appearance, and 75 (85.2%) were satisfied with visual field. The 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates were 66.5% and 63.6%, and the 3-year and 5-year disease-free survival rates were 57.1% and 46.2%, respectively, in the 169 patients with malignant tumors. Conclusion: A new classification of maxillary defects is proposed, on which suitable flaps are selected to offer patients good functional and aesthetic outcomes and high quality of life.

Objective: To analyze the migration of the HIV/AIDS cases and related factors in Liangshan Yi autonomous prefecture (Liangshan). Methods: According to HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Response Information Management System of China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention, a total of 28 772 HIV/AIDS cases who had follow-up records in Liangshan in 2020 were included in the survey. The migration of the HIV/AIDS cases was described and the related factors were analyzed using multiple logistic regression models, and the migration destinations of the HIV/AIDS cases were mapped. Results: Among the 28 772 HIV/AIDS cases, 20.89% (6 010/28 772) had migration in 2020. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that among the HIV/AIDS cases, the migration related factors included being aged 15-24 years (compared with being aged 0-14 years, OR=2.74, 95%CI:2.04-3.69) and ethnic group (compared with Han ethnic group, OR=2.44, 95%CI:2.19-2.72), having education level of junior high school (compared with having education level of primary school or below, OR=1.25, 95%CI:1.14-1.38), being unmarried (compared with being married, OR=1.29, 95%CI:1.20-1.39), being engaged in business services (compared with being engaged in farming, OR=1.96, 95%CI:1.31-2.92), receiving antiviral treatment <1 year (compared with receiving antiviral treatment >3 years, OR=1.42, 95%CI:1.26-1.61), having recent CD4⁺T lymphocytes (CD4) counts >500 cells/μl (compared with having recent CD4 counts <200 cells/μl, OR=1.15, 95%CI:1.03-1.29). The geographical distribution maps showed that among all cities in Sichuan, Xichang (13.26%, 797/6 010) and Chengdu (10.12%,608/6 010) were the main migration destinations of the HIV/AIDS cases, and the provinces outside Sichuan where the HIV/AIDS cases would like to migrate to were mainly Guangdong (18.19%, 1 093/6 010) and Zhejiang provinces (7.67%, 461/6 010) in 2020. The HIV/AIDS cases who migrated where Liangshan, within Sichuan province, and to other provinces accounted for 27.67% (1 663/6 010), 15.34% (922/6 010) and 56.99% (3 425/6 010), respectively. Conclusions: More attention should be paid to the mobility characteristics and the classification management of HIV/AIDS cases according to their characteristics in Liangshan. Timely access to information on changes in the place of work and residence of HIV/AIDS cases should be warranted when they have migration. Good referrals and management for mobility of HIV/AIDS cases in different places should be made to reduce loss to follow-up and improving interventions.
