Objective To investigate the distribution characteristics of serum sIgE antibodies against four allergenic protein components of egg white in children with egg allergy,and then clarify the clinical application value of single component-resolved diagnostics of egg allergy.Methods Serum samples from 197 children with egg allergy were collected.The levels of serum sIgE antibodies against four major allergenic protein components of egg white,including ovomucin,ovalbumin,ovotransferrin,and lysozyme,were detected by the light-excited chemiluminescence assay(LiCA),and the distribution characteristics of sIgE antibodies were analyzed.Results The positive rates of serum sIgE antibodies against ovalbumin,ovomucin,ovotransferrin,and lysozyme in 197 chlidren with egg allergy were 77.16%(152/197),70.56%(139/197),35.02%(69/197),and 18.27%(36/197),respectively.The positive rate of serum sIgE antibody against both ovomucin and ovalbumin was 30.45%.There was a weak correlation between the levels of sIgE antibodies against egg and the cumulative levels of sIgE antibodies against four allergenic protein components(r=0.266 8,P＜0.05).There were signifi-cant individual differences in the levels of serum sIgE antibodies against four allergenic protein components of egg white in the children with egg allergy.Conclusion There is individual heterogeneity in the levels of serum sIgE antibodies against four components of egg white in the children with egg allergy.The detection of sIgE antibodies against egg white components can distinguish different forms of egg allergies,which is of great value for the accurate diagnosis and precise desensitization of children's egg allergy.

To perform a comprehensive analysis of the pathogenic causes of a food poisoning case in a district of Wuhan Cit-y,we investigated the molecular epidemiological relationships among pathogenic bacteria,to aid in traceability analysis of food-borne disease outbreaks,as well as clinical diagnosis and treatment.The pathogenic bacteria in this food poisoning case were i-solated and identified according to GB789.4-2016.The isolated strains were subjected to genotyping with pulsed field gel elec-trophoresis(PFGE).Drug resistance gene analysis,multi-locus sequence typing(MLST),and genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism analysis(wgSNP)were conducted via whole genome sequencing(WGS).The evolutionary tree for cluster analy-sis was constructed in fasttree software.Drug susceptibility testing was conducted with the broth microdilution method.A total of 12 strains of Salmonella were detected in seven anal swab samples and two fecal samples from the case,as well as three anal swab samples from unaffected individuals.The serotype of the strains was Salmonella typhimurium.The strain exhibited severe multiple drug resistance,including resistance to amikacin,ampi-cillin,cefazolin,gentamicin,piperacillin,and tetracycline,but susceptibility to other antibiotics.The coincidence rate between drug resistance genes and drug resistance phenotypes was high.PFGE revealed that nine strains from this food poisoning case were highly homologous.WGS revealed that the MLST type was ST19,and varying numbers of SNPs(1-6)were present a-mong strains.The phylogenetic tree revealed nine isolated strains forming a distinct cluster,differing from other Salmonella strains in the database and belonging to a novel clonal branch.The single nucleotide site in the strains was highly homologous to that of GCF in Jiangxi_020221795.1.The food poisoning case was caused by Salmonella typhimurium ST19,and all nine iso-lated strains originated from the same source.The chef is closely connected to this food poisoning case.This strain of Salmo-nella typhimurium belongs to a new clonal branch and exhibits multiple drug resistance.

Hydrogel is a kind of material with high water content,good biocompatibility and extracellular matrix-like property,among which polypyrrole(PPy)conductive hydrogels have both physical characteristics and excellent conductivity of hydrogels themselves.Its conductivity can be used to detect electrical signals generated in biological systems and provide electrical stimulation to regulate the activities and functions of cells and tissues.These characteristics make it widely used in the biomedical field.The recent progress of PPy conductive hydrogels in biomedical field was reviewed in this paper.In terms of classification,according to the cross-linking mechanism of PPy and hydrogel matrix,the non-covalent cross-linked PPy conductive hydrogels and covalent cross-linked PPy conductive hydrogels were divided.The applications of PPy conductive hydrogels in the biomedical field(Skin damage repair,nerve repair,myocardial repair and flexible sensing,etc.)were mainly introduced,and the development trend and challenges of PPy conductive hydrogels in the biomedical field were discussed.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of argatroban combined with antiplatelet therapy in patients with acute mild-to-moderate atherosclerotic cerebral infarction within 72 hours after symptom onset. Methods A total of 452 patients with large atherosclerotic cerebral infarction were enrolled and divided into two groups. The combined therapy group (n=286) received argatroban combined with antiplatelet therapy, while the control group (n=166) received antiplatelet therapy alone. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, early neurological deterioration (END), and occurrence of bleeding events were compared between the two groups using a Logistic regression model. Results Statistically significant differences were observed in age, smoking history, time from stroke onset to admission, low-density lipoprotein, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) levels between the two groups (P < 0.05). No significant differences were found in infarction location, responsible artery, and atherosclerotic subtype between the combined therapy and control groups (P>0.05). Among patients with atheroscleroticcerebral infarction, the proportion of patients with an mRS score of 0 to 2 at 90 days after combined therapy of argatrobanwas 85.3%, and was 74.5% in the control group (P < 0.05). In patients with an NIHSS score ≥3, the proportion of patients with an mRS score of 0 to 2 at 90 days in the combined therapy group was 19.3%, which was significantly lower than 60.8% in the control group (P < 0.05). For anterior circulation responsible artery occlusion, the proportion of patients with an mRS score of 0 to 2 at 90 days in the combined therapy group was 82.1%, and 67.2% in the control group (P < 0.05). Among atherosclerotic subtypes, the proportion of patients with penetrating artery occlusion and an mRS score of 0 to 2 at 90 days was significantly higher in the combined therapy group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Argatroban combined with antiplatelet therapy can improve neurological outcomes in patients with acute mild-to-moderate atherosclerotic ischemic stroke without increasing the risk of bleeding. The combined therapy offers more pronounced benefits in patients with anterior circulation ischemia and penetrating artery occlusion.

The inflammatory effect of dietary is strongly related to the development of cancer,therefore,the diet-related inflammatory index was developed as a methodological tool to investigate the relationship between dietary,inflammation and tumors.In this paper,we summarized the results on diet-related inflammatory indices and common cancers of the digestive system based on relevant cancer epidemiological studies.The available epidemiological evidence suggests that pro-inflammatory diet is associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal malignancies,with the strongest association with colorectal cancer,followed by esophageal and gastric cancers,and then pancreatic cancer,and the least evidence of studies with liver cancer.Among these studies,the level of evidence for esophageal cancer is lower than colorectal cancer,the study of gastric cancer has gender differences and problems in adjusting for confounders,and the study of pancreatic cancer has heterogeneous results.In view of the current research progress and deficiencies,prospective studies or population-based cohort studies,as well as strengthening nutritional epidemiological studies related to common tumors such as liver cancer could be considered in the future.This review is expecting to provide basic information and scientific basis for strengthening the related healthy eating behavior promotion in the prevention and control of digestive system tumors.

Although indigenous malaria has been eliminated in Wuhan since 2013,imported malaria remains a potential threat as an infectious source of local malaria transmission.The epidemiological and clinical characteristics of imported malaria are particularly important in areas where local malaria has been eliminated.This study was aimed at analyzing the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of imported malaria in Wuhan from 2012 to 2019,to provide a basis for further improving the preven-tion and control of imported malaria.Patients in Wuhan diagnosed with imported malaria from January 1,2012,to December 31,2019,were included in this study.A case-control study was con-ducted to analyze the features of patients with severe malaria.Uni-variate and multivariate logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for prolonged hospital length of stay(LOS).Among 229 imported malaria cases,212(92.6％)were in Chinese citizens,and most cases were in men(96.5％).The gender ratio is 28:1,and the age of cases is mainly concertrated between 18 and 50 years old(89.1％).More than 80％of patients were mi-grant workers,and most cases were infections from African countries(92.6％).Plasmodium falciparum(80.8％)was the dominant species.Fifty-three severe malaria cases were identified during the study period.Compared with uncomplicated cases,severe cases tended to occur in patients with no history of malaria(P=0.008),patients infected with Plasmodium falciparum(P=0.009),and patients who were initially misdiagnosed(P＜0.001).The median LOS was 6 days,and the species of infec-tion(Plasmodium falciparum),the use of antimalarial drugs(group B),antipyretic time(longer than 3 days),and the turn-around time of blood smear microscopy(longer than 3 days)were significantly associated with longer LOS(all P＜0.05).Al-though malaria has been eradicated in Wuhan for many years,imported cases continue to pose a threat.Efforts should be made to strengthen malaria knowledge education for outbound personnel.Additionally,medical institutions must enhance diagnosis and treatment capabilities for malaria,and adhere to standardized treatment processes,and the development of drug resistance and occurrence of severe malaria must be prevented.

Objective To analyze the risk factors and survival status of Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)infection in pa-tients with aplastic anemia(AA)after haploid allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(Haplo-HSCT).Methods Clinical data of 78 AA patients who underwent Haplo-HSCT in the hematology department of a hospital from January 1,2019 to October 31,2022 were analyzed retrospectively.The occurrence and onset time of EBV viremia,EBV-related diseases(EBV diseases),and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders(PTLD)were ob-served,risk factors and survival status were analyzed.Results Among the 78 patients,38 were males and 40 were females,with a median age of 33(9-56)years old;53 patients experienced EBV reactivation,with a total inci-dence of 67.9％,and the median time for EBV reactivation was 33(13,416)days after transplantation.Among pa-tients with EBV reactivation,49 cases(62.8％)were simple EBV viremia,2 cases(2.6％)were possible EBV di-seases,and 2 cases(2.6％)were already confirmed EBV diseases(PTLD).Univariate analysis showed that age 1＜40 years old at the time of transplantation,umbilical cord blood infusion,occurrence of acute graft-versus-host disease(aGVHD)after transplantation,and concurrent cytomegalovirus(CMV)infection were independent risk fac-tors for EBV reactivation in AA patients after Haplo-HSCT.Multivariate analysis showed that concurrent CMV in-fection was an independent risk factor for EBV reactivation in A A patients after Haplo-HSCT(P=0.048).Ritu-ximab intervention before stem cell reinfusion was a factor affecting the duration of EBV reactivation(P＜0.05).The mortality of EBV viremia,EBV diseases,and PTLD alone were 8.2％,50.0％,and 100％,respectively.The 2-year overall survival rate of patients with and without EBV reactivation were 85.3％,and 90.7％,respectively,difference was not statistically significant(P=0.897).However,patients treated with rituximab had 2-year lower survival rate than those who did not use it,with a statistically significant difference(P=0.046).Conclusion EBV reactivation is one of the serious complications in AA patients after Haplo-HSCT,which affects the prognosis and survival of patients.

Objective:To evaluate the long-term efficacy of percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods:2054 cases with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage 0~B at the Fifth Medical Center of the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital from January 2006 to September 2020 were retrospectively collected. All patients were followed up for at least 2 years. The primary endpoint of overall survival and secondary endpoints (tumor-related survival, disease-free survival, and postoperative complications) of patients treated with ultrasound-guided percutaneous MWA were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used for stratified survival rate analysis. Fine-and-Gray competing risk model was used to analyze overall survival.Results:A total of 5 503 HCC nodules [mean tumor diameter (2.6±1.6) cm] underwent 3 908 MWAs between January 2006 and September 2020, with a median follow-up time of 45.6 (24.0 -79.2) months.The technical effectiveness rate of 5 375 tumor nodules was 97.5%. The overall survival rates at 5, 10, and 15-years were 61.6%, 38.8%, and 27.0%, respectively. The tumor-specific survival rates were 67.1%, 47.2%, and 37.7%, respectively. The free tumor survival rates were 25.8%, 15.7%, and 9.9%, respectively. The incidence rate of severe complications was 2.8% (108/3 908). Further analysis showed that the technical effectiveness and survival rate over the passing three time periods from January 2006-2010, 2011-2015, and 2016-September 2020 were significantly increased, with P ?
