		                        			Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of adverse events following immunization(AEFI) ofthree types of hepatitis B vaccines(CHO, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Hansenula polymorpha) in Fujian Province from 2019to 2023, and evaluate their safety. Methods The AEFI case data and vaccination data of hepatitis B vaccines reported inFujian Province from 2019 to 2023 were collected through the Chinese Immunization Planning Information ManagementSystem. The occurrence characteristics, incidence rates and other indicators of AEFI related to hepatitis B vaccines wereanalyzed by using descriptive analysis methods. Results In Fujian Province from 2019 to 2023, there were 677 reportedcases of AEFI related to hepatitis B vaccines, with an AEFI reported incidence of 7. 44 per 100 000 doses. The male-to-female ratio was 1. 20∶1, and the age distribution was mainly in the group of less than 1 year old. The reported incidence ofcommon adverse reactions was 6. 24 per 100 000 doses, and the reported incidence of rare adverse reactions was 0. 96 per100 000 doses. Rare vaccine reaction cases were mainly anaphylactic reaction. There were statistically significant differencesin the reported incidence of common adverse reactions and allergic skin rashes among the three types of hepatitis B vaccines(χ~2= 111. 587 and 13. 284, respectively, each P < 0. 05). Conclusion The reported incidence of AEFI related to hepatitisB vaccines in Fujian Province has been rare from 2019 to 2023, falling within the expected range of WHO, indicating goodsafety of the vaccines.

		                        			Objective: To identify an optimal back-flush solution for leukocyte-depleted filters that maximizes peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) recovery with high viability, long-term storage stability, and sterility of the harvested residues, thereby providing a clinically translatable strategy. Methods: Three sterile bag-packaged solutions—Saline, Solvent, and Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS)—were used to back-flush randomly assigned leukocyte-depleted filters. Nucleated cell recovery rate and viability of the harvested residues were compared. The optimal solution identified was applied to an expanded sample set. PBMC viability and yield were evaluated after 1h vs 48h storage of the residues. PBMCs isolated from the residues were cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen for 1 month, followed by post-thaw comparisons of viability and T-cell expansion capacity. Results: The Solvent group achieved the highest and most consistent nucleated cell recovery rate. Post-flush recovery rate from filters after 400 mL whole blood processing was (21.3±1.6)% for the Solvent group, significantly higher than Saline group (19.2±6.3)% and HBSS group (11.2±5.0)%, with residues from all groups maintaining viability >90%. No biologically significant difference in residue viability was observed between 48h vs 1h storage groups (93.3±2.3)% vs (95.7±1.8)%). PBMC recovery rates from residues showed no statistical difference between 48h vs 1h storage groups [(48.2%±9.5%)vs (40.41%±8.35%), P>0.05], with (17.7±2.6)×10 
       cells. After 1-month cryopreservation and 10-day expansion, PBMCs isolated from 48-hour-stored residues retained (91.2±3.2)% viability and achieved a (61.9±15.9)-fold expansion. Conclusion: The bag-packaged Solvent, as a back-flush solution, enables sterile acquisition of leukocyte-depleted filter residues through closed-system tubing connections. These residues maintained PBMC viability and recovery rates after 48h storage at 2℃-8℃, with post-cryopreservation (1-month liquid nitrogen) viability and expansion capacity remaining stable. This protocol complies with blood bank regulatory criteria, addresses the concerns about the infectious window period in cell therapy raw materials, and provides a clinically translatable strategy for PBMC-based applications.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the impact of the deep-learning-based CT fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) on clinical decision-making and long-term prognosis in patients with obstructive coronary heart disease.Methods:In this single-center retrospective cohort study, consecutive patients with obstructive coronary heart disease (with at least one stenosis≥50%) on their first coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from February 2017 to July 2018 were included. Baseline clinical and CT characteristics were collected. Deep-learning-based CT-FFR and Leiden CCTA risk score were calculated. All patients enrolled were followed up for at least 5 years. The study endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as the composite of cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, unstable angina requiring hospitalization, and unplanned revascularization. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn to define the optimal cut-off point of the Leiden score in predicting the 5-year MACE, and survival analysis and Cox regression were performed to explore the related factors of MACE.Results:A total of 622 patients, aged 61 (54, 66) years, with 407 (65.4%) males were included. Diagnostic coronary angiography was performed in 78 patients after their baseline CCTA, with 34 (43.6%) patients had CT-FFR>0.80. During a follow-up time of 2 181 (2 093, 2 355) days, 155 patients (24.9%) suffered from MACE. ROC derived optimal cut-off point of Leiden score for predicting MACE was 15.48. Survival analysis found that male patients, Leiden risk score>15 and CT-FFR≤0.80 had worse prognosis. Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified CT-FFR≤0.80 as an robust and independent predictor of MACE ( HR=4.98, 95% CI 3.15-7.86, P<0.001). Conclusion:Deep-learning-based CT-FFR aids in clinical decision-making and the evaluation of long-term prognosis in patients with obstructive coronary heart disease.

		                        			 Objective To screen differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the liver of mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum during the chronic pathogenic stage and identify their functions, so as to provide insights into unravelling the role of lncRNAs in S. japonicum infection-induced liver disorders. Methods Twenty 6-week-old C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into two groups, of 10 animals each group. Each mouse in the experimental group was infected with (15 ± 2) S. japonicum cercariae via the abdomen for modeling chronic S. japonicum infection in mice, and distilled water served as controls. All mice were sacrificed 70 days post-infection, and mouse liver specimens were sampled for RNA extraction and library construction. All libraries were sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequencing platform. Data cleaning was performed using the fastp software, and reference genome alignment and gene expression (FPKM) calculation were performed using the HISAT2 software. Potential lncRNA sequences were predicted using the software CNIC, CPC, Pfam, and PLEK, and potential lncRNAs were screened. Differentially expressed lncRNAs were screened with the DESeq2 software and subjected to Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses to identify biological processes and metabolic pathways involved in target genes of differentially expressed lncRNAs. Results A total of 333 potential lncRNAs were screened, and 67 were identified as differentially expressed lncRNAs, including 49 up-regulated and 18 down-regulated lncRNAs. A total of 53 target genes were predicted for differentially expressed lncRNAs. GO enrichment analysis showed that these target genes were mainly enriched in biological process and molecular function, among which Sema7a, Arrb1, and Ccl21b genes may be hub target genes for positive regulation of extracellular regulated protein kinase 1 (ERK1) and ERK2 cascades and may participate in the regulation of collagen expression. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the target genes of differentially expressed lncRNAs were mainly enriched in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, viral protein interactions with cytokines and cytokine receptors, chemokine signaling pathway, and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Conclusions This study identifies differentially expressed lncRNAs and functional enrichment of their target genes in the liver of mice during the chronic pathogenic stage of S. japonicum infection. Up-regulated lncRNAs may affect biological processes of ERK1/2 cascades and chemokine signaling pathways via target genes Sema7a, Arrb1, and Ccl21b, thereby affecting collagen expression and inflammatory signal pathways, ultimately affecting the development of liver disorders.

		                        			Based on the discussions in the The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor (《黄帝内经》), it is proposed that in the course of the disease, "bind" represents the initial stage of pulmonary nodules, while "accumulation" represents the final form. In terms of the pathogenesis, "two colds interacting" represented by "body cold" and "cold fluid retention" are the prerequisites for the formation of pulmonary nodules, while "disorder of qi" represented by "fainting" is the core of the formation. The specific manifestation is the disturbance of pivot of shaoyang (少阳) or shaoyin (少阴), resulting in a complex of cold and heat, and then phlegm and stasis are suddenly generated and further formed into nodules. Therefore, the treatment principle should be to regulate the cardinal mechanism, dissolve phlegm and blood stasis. Depending on the complex degree of cold and heat, it is suggested to use Chaihu Guizhi Decoction (柴胡桂枝汤), Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Decoction (柴胡桂枝干姜汤), or Chaihu Xianxiong Decoction (柴胡陷胸汤) for disturbance of shaoyang pivot, while for shaoyin pivot dysfunction, modified Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction (麻黄附子细辛汤) or Shengjiang Powder (升降散) can be used.

		                        			ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect and safety of Jiuxin Pill (救心丸) on exercise tolerance and quality of life in patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP). MethodsA randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre study design was used to enroll 170 patients of SAP from nine centres, which were divided into 85 patients each in the trial group and control group with 1∶1 ratio. Both groups maintained the original western medicine treatment plan, and added Jiuxin Pill or placebo respectively, 2 pills (0.05 g) each time twicely for 28 days. The main outcomes were total exercise time (TED) in the exercise treadmill test and Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) scores including physical limitation (PL), angina stability (AS), angina frequency (AF), treatment satisfaction (TS), and disease perception (DP). The secondary outcomes were exercise treadmill test indicators including heart rate recovery in 1 min (HRR1), metabolic equivalents (METs), maximum magnitude of ST-segment depression, and the Borg rating of perceived exertion scale, the average number of angina attacks per week, withdrawal and reduction rate of nitroglycerin, traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores, incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events. Safety indicators were evaluated and the occurrence of adverse events during the trial was recorded. Data was collected before treatment, day 28±2 in treatment period, and follow-up at day 56 which is 28±2 days after treatment period finished. ResultsEighty-four and eighty-five patients respectively from trial group and control group were included to the full analysis set (FAS) and safety analysis set (SS). Compared with the group before treatment and with the control group after treatment, the trial group had higher TED, HRR1, and METs, and lower maximum magnitude of ST-segment depression and Borg rating of perceived exertion scores after treatment (P<0.01). Compared with the group before treatment and with the control group after treatment and at follow-up, the total SAQ score and scores of AS, AF, TS and DP of the trial group after treatment and at follow-up elevated, while the average number of angina attacks per week and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores reduced (P<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the withdrawal and reduction rate of nitroglycerin between groups (P>0.05). Major adverse cardiovascular events occurred in 1 case (1/84, 1.19%) in the trial group and 1 case (1/85, 1.18%) in the control group, and the difference between groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). A total of 3 cases of adverse events occurred in the trial group (3/84, 3.57%), and a total of 6 cases of adverse events occurred in the control group (6/85, 7.06%), and there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between groups (P>0.05). ConclusionIn the treatment of SAP, Jiuxin Pill combined with conventional western medicine can further enhance exercise tolerance, improve quality of life, and demonstrate great safety.

		                        			Objective To identify the key genes differentially expressed in Wilms tumor and analyze their potential impacts on prognosis and immune responses of the patients. Methods High-throughput RNA sequencing was used to identify the differentially expressed mRNAs in clinical samples of Wilms tumor and paired normal tissues, and their biological functions were analyzed using GO, KEGG and GSEA enrichment analyses. The hub genes were identified using STRING database, based on which a prognostic model was constructed using LASSO regression. The mutations of the key hub genes were analyzed and their impacts on immunotherapy efficacy was predicted using the cBioPortal platform. RT-qPCR was used to verify the differential expressions of the key hub genes in Wilms tumor. Results Of the 1612 differentially expressed genes identified in Wilms tumor, 1030 were up-regulated and 582 were down-regulated, involving mainly cell cycle processes and immune responses. Ten hub genes were identified, among which 4 genes (TP53, MED1, CCNB1 and EGF) were closely related to the survival of children with Wilms tumor. A 3-gene prognostic signature was constructed through LASSO regression analysis, and the patients stratified into with high- and low-risk groups based on this signature had significantly different survival outcomes (HR=1.814, log-rank P=0.002). The AUCs of the 3-, 5-and 7-year survival ROC curves of this model were all greater than 0.7. The overall mutations in the key hub genes or the individual mutations in TP53/CCNB1 were strongly correlated with a lower survival rates, and a high TP53 expression was correlated with a poor immunotherapy efficacy. RT-qPCR confirmed that the key hub genes had significant differential expressions in Wilms tumor tissues and cells. Conclusion TP53 gene plays an important role in the Wilms tumor and may potentially serve as a new immunotherapeutic biomarker as well as a therapeutic target.
