Objective:To explore classification models for radiosensitive lipid metabolites in human peripheral blood by combining lipidomics with multiple machine learning (ML) algorithms.Methods:Totally 97 peripheral blood samples were collected from 25 leukemia cases admitted to a general hospital in Beijing from March to September 2023 who were ready to undergo bone marrow transplantation, including 0 Gy blood samples before irradiation in the control group ( n=24), and 73 blood samples after irradiation at doses of 4, 8 and 12 Gy in the radiation group ( n=73), and the targeted lipidomic based on the ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) platform method to analyze the differences of different lipids between control and radiation groups. Then, lipids responsive to radiation doses of 0-12 Gy were identified using linear regression. Finally, classification models were constructed using five ML algorithms based on the training set, followed by the validation and evaluation of these models using the validation set. Results:Compared with the control group, the differences in the concentration changes of 62 lipids in 9 classes of lipid metabolites sensitive to radiation group were statistically significant ( t=-4.91 to 4.74, P<0.05), including sphingomyelins(SMs), cholesteryl esters(CEs), ceramides(Cers), phosphatidylinositols(PIs), hexosylceramides(HexCers), lysophosphatidylcholines (LysoPCs), phosphatidylcholines (PCOs), phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs), and lysophosphatidylethanolamines (LysoPEs). Twenty lipids responsive to radiation doses of 0-12 Gy were identified, namely 11 SMs, 7 CEs, 1 Cer, and 1 PI. The five models based on ML algorithms of decision tree (DT), support vector machine (SVM), light gradient boosting machine (Light GBM), random forest (RF), and K-nearest neighbors (KNN) all exhibited high goodness of fit (F1=0.69-1.00) and high sensitivity. The evaluation and validation metrics revealed that the RF-based model yielded the optimal radiation classification discrimination (sensitivity: 1.00; accuracy: 0.72; F1 score: 0.80). Conclusions:Lipid metabolites responsive to radiation and lipids responsive to radiation dose in human samples were identified using targeted lipidomics. The RF-based model can provide new ideas for exploring models of human radiosensitive lipid metabolites.

Objective:Comparison of four methods in intraoperative abduction angles (AA) measurements of human cast immobilization in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) by visual inspection and electronic software according to different body surface markers.Methods:Data were retrospectively collected from January 2019 to November 2021 in a total of 27 patients (54 hips) who underwent closed or simple open reduction. There were 6 males and 21 females with an average age of 13.2 months. Five doctors used visual inspection and mobile phone software to measure the AA of the hip joint immediately during the operation, and compared with the postoperative MRI measurement results (AA-MRI). The four methods of intraoperative measurement were: Junior visualization (AA-JV), the intersection angle between the line connecting the center of the popliteal fossa and the contact center of the plaster frame and the line connecting the two ischial tuberosities; the same methods as method one by Senior visualization (AA-SV); the intersection angle between the line connecting the center of the popliteal fossa and the center of the anus and the line connecting the ischial tubercle (anus-popliteal, AA-AP); the intersection of the vertical line between the center of the popliteal fossa and the groin and the horizontal line of the center of the anus and the vertical line connecting the two ischial tuberosities intersect (anus-groin crease-popliteal, AA-AGCP). The t-test, correlation coefficient, linear regression and Bland-Altman test were used to evaluate the measurements. Results:Comparing the four intraoperative and postoperative AA-MRI measurement methods, AA-JV (42.69°±4.13°) < AA-SV (44.80°±4.08°) < AA-AGCP (46.25°±5.15°) < AA-MRI (47.68°±4.21°) < AA-AP (51.77°±5.30°), and the difference between AA-JV and AA-SV, AA-AP and AA-AGCP was statistically significant ( t=2.53, P=0.013; t=5.47, P=0.001), there was no significant difference between AA-AGCP and AA-MRI ( t=1.57, P=0.118). The inter-group agreement of the five methods ICC test ranged from 0.807 to 0.892, and the intra-group average agreement of AA-MRI was 0.948. All ICC results were greater than 0.75 with good agreement. Linear regression results showed that the four intraoperative measurement methods had a good or moderate linear relationship with AA-MRI, AA-AGCP ( R 2=0.499)>AA-AP ( R 2=0.318)>AA-SV ( R 2=0.253)>AA-JV ( R 2=0.217), AA-AGCP was the best measurement method. The results of Bland-Altman scatterplot of AA-AGCP and AA-MRI were in good agreement, the mean and standard deviation of bias were -0.796±3.247, and the limit of agreement was 95% LoA (-7.16, -5.57). Conclusion:The AA method of visualization before Spica casting was smaller than truth. The method AA-AGCP objectively by landmarks was the advocated means measuring abduction angle during operation with highly consistency, agreement and easily performed.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of blunt separation method on peripherally inserted central venous catheters.Methods:The randomized controlled trials regard to the effect of blunt separation method on peripheral central venous catheters were retrieved from CNKI, Wan fang Data Knowledge Service Platform, CQVIP, CBM, Cochrane, PubMed, EMBASE and Web of science from January 2010 to March 2021, two researchers performed quality assessments and extracted data according to Cochrane evaluation manual standards. RevMan 5. 4 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 11 randomized controlled trials were analyzed, including 1379 participants. The meta-analysis results showed that there was no statistical difference in the successful rate of one-time sheath delivery ( OR=1.62, 95% CI 0.92-2.86, P>0.05). However, patients in blunt separation group showed lower blood loss ( OR=0.24, 95% CI 0.11-0.50, P<0.05), lower the incidence of seepage at puncture site ( OR=0.18, 95% CI 0.09-0.37, P<0.05) than those in traditional skin expansion group at 24h after catheterization, and less the time of maintenance within 7 days after catheterization ( MD=-0.95, 95% CI-1.78--0.11, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusions:Blunt separation method can significantly reduce the incidence of complications and the time of catheter maintenance. Due to the limited quality of included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the conclusions.

Objective:To screen radiosensitive lipid metabolites in rat small intestine and analyze their metabolic pathways, in order to provide scientific basis for radiation enteropathy biomarkers.Methods:The total body irradiation of 60Co γ rays was performed to rats with different doses of 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8 Gy. The changes of lipids in small intestine were studied by targeted lipidomics method based on liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Results:Fifteen lipids in small intestine were screened as radiosensitive metabolites at 3 d after irradiation, including 4 up-regulated lipids and 11 down-regulated lipids( t=-6.395, 5.998, 5.836, -5.503, -5.449, -5.422, 4.841, 4.802, 4.621, 4.457, 4.426, 4.373, 4.110, 3.945, 3.902, P< 0.05 and FDR < 0.05). The metabolic pathways of sphingolipid, glycerophosphoplipid were significantly enriched. Four phosphatidyl serines (PS)increased while 1 phosphatidic acid(PA), 2 sphingomyelins(SM) and 4 fatty acids(FA)decreased in a good dose-response manner( R2> 0.80, P< 0.05), which were more potential radiation enteropathy biomarkers. Conclusions:Lipid metabolites in rat small intestine were significantly changed after the rat was total body irradiated with 60Co γ-rays.Eleven lipids with good dose-response relationship were more potential to be radiation enteropathy biomarkers.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of the optimized cytokinesis-block (CB) assay on radiation-induced nucleoplasmic bridge (NPB), and to provide a scientific basis for the application of NPB in biological dose estimation.Methods:Human peripheral blood in vitro was irradiated with 2 Gy 60Co γ-rays at a dose rate of 1 Gy/min (0 Gy control group). According to the culture time after irradiation, blood samples were divided into group 48, 56, 68 and 72 h. Cytochalasin-B (Cyt-B) with a concentration of 6 μg/ml was added into the samples at 28 h and harvested at 48, 56, 68 and 72 h after irradiation, respectively. On the other hand, the blood samples were treated with different concentration of Cyt-B i. e., 0.6, 1, 2, 6 and 10 μg/ml at the beginning of culture (0 h) and harvested at 68 h after irradiation. The proportion of mononucleated, binucleated and multinucleated cells, radiation-induced NPB and micronucleus (MN) frequencies were analyzed. Results:The nuclear division index (NDI) and proportion of binucleated cells at 2 Gy and 0 Gy had tendency of increasing with cell culture time. NPB frequencies (0.023 0-0.033 0/cell) and MN frequencies had no significantly difference ( P> 0.05). With the increase of Cyt-B concentration, NDI and the proportion of binucleated cells in group 2 Gy and 0 Gy also increased, but NPB frequencies (0.023 0-0.047 0/cell) had no significant difference ( P> 0.05). MN frequencies of group 10 μg/ml were significantly lower than that of group 6 μg/ml ( U=2.74, P< 0.01). Conclusions:Cell culture time and Cyt-B concentration had no significant influence on radiation-induced NPB frequencies, suggesting that NPB could be obtained by appropriately reducing cell culture time and Cyt-B could be added into blood samples at the beginning of culture. But this protocol reduced the number of cells for further analysis, and thus its feasibility for dose estimation still need to be studied.

Objective:To explore the influence of dose-rate on radiation-induced gene expression in human peripheral blood.Methods:Human peripheral blood ex vivo was irradiated with 0, 1, 2, 4 and 6 Gy of 60Co γ-rays with different dose-rates of 0.2, 1 and 2 Gy/min. Human blood cells were harvested at 24 h post-irradiation. Following RNA isolation, the mRNA expression levels ofCDKN1A, MDM2, PCNA, FDXR, GADD45A, PHPT1, ASTN2, TNFSF4, POLH, GDF-15 and PPM1D were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. The stepwise regression method was used to establish the gene combination models. Results:The relative mRNA expression levels of 11 genes significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner within the dose range of 0-6 Gy with three dose-rates of irradiation ( R2=0.744-0.998, P< 0.05). Following the exposure to 2 Gy(0.2 Gy/min) 60Co γ-rays, the expression levels of CDKN1A, FDXR, PHPT1 and TNFSF4 genes were significantly higher than that of the 1 and 2 Gy/min groups ( t=3.73, 5.73, 2.44, 2.77, 3.53, 2.68, 2.43, 2.05, P< 0.05). With 6 Gy irradiation, the changes of radiation-induced PPM1D expression level under a dose rate of 2 Gy/min were significantly higher than other two dose-rates( t=3.82, 2.54, P< 0.05). The combined expression model at different dose rates was composed of 2-3 genes, and the R2values of regression equations were 0.976, 0.964 and 0.951, respectively. Conclusions:In a certain range, the dose-rate may affect the changes of radiation-induced gene expression in human peripheral blood.

【Objective】 To investigate the unqualified rate of anti-HIV detection of blood screening laboratories in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and explore the differences in anti-HIV detection ability and influencing factors in each laboratory. 【Methods】 Through filling questionnaires via e-mail, the anti-HIV ELISA unqualified rate and confirmed (WB) positive results (data) from January to December 2018 from 15 blood screening laboratories in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region were collected. Our laboratory was responsible for data collection and confirmation, and statistics software SPSS22.0 was used for analysis. 【Results】 1) There was a statistically significant difference among the unqualified rate of anti-HIV ELISA(6.77‱~35.71‱) and confirmed positive rate(0.60‱~3.56‱) in 15 blood screening laboratories in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region (P<0.05); 2) There were significant differencse among the ELISA unqualified rate and the confirmed positive rate of 8 reagents for anti-HIV detection(P<0.01), and the sensitivity of the 4th generation detection reagent and the imported reagent was higher than that of the 3rd generation reagent and the domestic reagent. The anti-HIV ELISA unqualified rate of R5 was the highest (19.08‱). 3)There were significant differences in the anti-HIV ELISA unqualified rate of R1, R2, R3, R5 and R7 reagents among different blood station laboratories(P<0.05), and there were no significant differences in the anti-HIV ELISA unqualified rate of R4, R6 and R8 reagents among different blood station laboratories(P>0.05). 4)The unqualified rate of anti-HIV ELISA of laboratories using different regents showed significant differences(P<0.05), except H, J, M. The unqualified rate of imported reagent was significantly higher than that of domestic reagents of laboratories using imported and domestic reagents combinations(P<0.05), except O. 62.5% (5/8) laboratories using domestic 3rd and 4th generation reagent combination showed significant differences in the unqualified rates among different reagents(P<0.05); 5) The positive rate of single-reagent(62.02%~95.45%)in 15 blood screening laboratories showed significant difference(P<0.001), and A was the lowest (62.02%). 【Conclusion】 The anti-HIV detection ability among 15 blood screening laboratories in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is quite different. The application of different reagents is the main factor for the difference, and other factors such as personnel, instruments and test strategies also has a great impact on the detection of anti-HIV. It is still necessary to promote the process of homogenization of blood testing quality among blood screening laboratories in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
