[Objective] To explore the influencing factors of quality monitoring index on the nucleic acid pooling detection mode and continuously improve the detection quality of nucleic acid laboratory. [Methods] The quality monitoring indicators (NAT reactive rate, NAT resolution reactive rate, NAT invalid batch rate, NAT invalid result rate, equipment failure rate) and causes of invalidity in our laboratory from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The quality monitoring indicators of the laboratory during 2020 to 2022 were compared longitudinally. The quality monitoring indicators of the laboratory in 2022 were compared horizontally with the overall level in Shandong for the same period to find the differences. [Results] From 2020 to 2022, a total of 218 686 samples were detected, the NAT reactive rate was 0.15‰ (32 samples in total), the resolution reactive rate was 39.02%, the invalid batch rate was 1.06%, the invalid result rate was 1.18%, and the equipment failure rate was 3.58%. There were no differences in the NAT reactive rate, NAT resolution reactive rate and NAT invalid batch rate among different years (P>0.05), but there were differences in the invalid result rate (P<0.05). Equipment failure was the main cause of invalid results (56.53%). Compared with other laboratories in Shandong, there were differences in the NAT reactive rate and invalid result rate (P<0.05). There were differences in the reaction rate, resolution rate and invalid result rate among different reagents (P<0.05). Compared with other two laboratories using the same manufacturer's reagent, there were differences in the reactive rate and invalid result rate (P<0.05), but no difference in the resolution rate and invalid batch rate (P>0.05). [Conclusion] Establishing quality indexes for process control and regular analysis can timely detect potential risks in laboratory operation. The use of quality indicators to implement self-comparison and inter-laboratory comparison can help the laboratory systematically and scientifically evaluate its own operating status and formulate corresponding quality management strategies, thereby improving the laboratory's testing capacity and ensure the safety of blood use.

Objective To investigate the survival time of patients diagnosed with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in China between 2020 and 2022 and explore the associated factors influencing survival.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinically diagnosed cases with complete information on sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob dis-ease diagnosed by the China Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease surveillance network from 2020 to 2022,baseline information of patients was obtained from the case files,telephone follow-up was used to obtain the treatment and survival status of the patients after the diagnosis,life-table method was used for estimating the survival rate,Kaplan-Meier method was used for calculating the median survival time and the 95％CI,Cox regression model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses were used to screen for factors influencing survival time.Results The median survival time of the 300 patients was 5 months(95％CI:4.165-5.835).Univariate analysis revealed that factors such as age at onset,regional distribution,presence of corticobasal or extrapyramidal symptoms as initial manifestations,number of initial symptoms,presence of corticobasal or extrapyramidal functional abnormalities,number of major clinical manifestations,presence of typical electroencephalogram findings,and use of nasal feeding during the course of the disease were potential factors influencing survival time(P＜0.1).Multivariate analysis showed that the risk of death in patients with onset age＞65 years was 1.350 times higher than in patients with onset age ≤65 years(P=0.021,95.0％CI:1.046-1.742).Patients without pyramidal or extrapyramidal dysfunction had a 0.674-fold lower risk of death compared to those with these symptoms(P=0.020,95.0％CI:0.483-0.939).Patients who did not receive nasal feeding had a 1.817-fold higher risk of death compared to those who did(P＜0.001,95.0％CI:1.406-2.349).Conclusion Age at onset,the presence of pyramidal or extrapyramidal functional abnormalities,and the use of nasal feeding during the disease course are factors influencing the survival time of pa-tients clinically diagnosed with sCJD.

Objective To compare the value of TACE+microwave ablation(MWA)+programmed death-1(PD-1)and TACE+MWA for treating primary hepatic carcinoma(PHC).Methods Data of 80 PHC patients who underwent TACE+MWA+PD-1(observe group)or TACE+MWA treatment(control group)were retrospectively analyzed(each n=40).The baseline data,therapeutic efficacy of PHC and complications were compared between groups.Results No significant difference of baseline data was found between groups(all P＞0.05).The objective response rate(ORR)of observe group and control group was 90.00％and 72.50％,respectively,while the disease control rate(DCR)was 97.50％and 95.00％,respectively,with no significant difference between groups(both P＞0.05).The median overall survival(OS)of observe group and control group was 30.80 months and 15.70 months,respectively,while the median progression free survival(PFS)was 23.35 months and 6.80 months,respectively.OS and PFS of observe group were both longer than those of control group(both P＜0.05).No significant difference of the incidence of complications was detected between groups(all P＞0.05),and all were improved after symptomatic treatment.Conclusion TACE+MWA+PD-1 was superior to TACE+MWA for treating PHC.

Objective:To understand the medical care of patients with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in China and its relationship with survival time.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on data of 150 patients with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease diagnosed by China′s Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Surveillance Network during the period of January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022 in this study, and telephone follow-up with family members was used to obtain information of the patients′ care, treatment, and survival after diagnosis. Survival was estimated by life table method, median survival time and 95% confidence interval ( CI) were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank method was used to compare the difference in survival time between different groups, and multifactorial analysis was performed by COX proportional risk regression model regarding the influencing factors on patients′ survival time. Results:The median survival time of 150 patients with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease was 6 months, and the cumulative lifetime survival rates at 2, 6, 12, and 18 months were 62%, 39%, 22%, and 9%, respectively. The result of univariate analysis showed that the differences in survival time between groups with the presence or absence of cortical blindness in the first symptom, the presence or absence of respiratory support (oxygen therapy), the presence or absence of adjunctive medication, and the presence or absence of tube feeding (nasogastric) were meaningful ( P<0.1). Multifactorial COX regression analysis showed that the risk of death in patients without adjuvant medication was 1.429 times higher than that in patients with adjuvant medication (95.0% CI: 1.014-2.014), and the risk of death in patients without tube feeding (nasal feeding) was 1.479 times higher than that in patients with tube feeding (nasal feeding) (95% CI: 1.052-2.081). Conclusions:Whether or not adjuvant medication is administered and whether or not tube feeding (nasogastric) is used are factors that affect survival time in patients with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, and the administration of appropriate adjuvant medication and tube feeding (nasogastric) may contribute to prolonging survival time in patients with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Objective:To explore the locations of the lumbosacral nerve roots by use of the magnetic stimulation.Methods:Thirty healthy subjects were studied. The projections of the right L 2 to S 1 intervertebral foramina on their body surfaces were determined manually with ultrasound assistance. Magnetic stimulation was applied to different nerve root segments to induce compound muscle action potentials (CMAP) in the vastus medialis, tibialis anterior, and gastrocnemius muscles of the lower limbs. The changes in latency, amplitude, and motor threshold were observed. Results:Magnetic stimulation on the L 2-L 3 segment resulted in a significant direct excitation of the vastus medialis. That on the L 5-S 1 segment evoked a significant direct excitatory effect on the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius, with a motor threshold below 40%, an amplitude exceeding 1mV, and many effective responses. However, during the magnetic stimulation on the L 4 segment, the amplitude of the vastus medialis was above 1mV, with no significant differences in the number of effective responses among the muscle groups. Moreover, there was a stepwise change in the latency of effective muscle responses to magnetic stimulation at different segments. The CMAP latencies of 12+ ms for the tibialis anterior and 13+ ms for the gastrocnemius indicated activation of the L 5 and L 4 nerve roots, respectively, while those of 6+ ms, 7+ ms, and 8+ ms for the vastus medialis suggested activation of the L 4, L 3, and L 2 nerve roots, respectively. Conclusions:Based on the responses (CMAP latency, amplitude and motor threshold) of the vastus medialis, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius to magnetic stimulation at different L 2 to S 1 segments, the spinal nerve root segments responsible for innervation can be inferred.

Objective To explore the relationship between the expression of Toll like receptor 4(TLR4)and Janus protein tyrosine kinase 3(JAK3)genes and the imbalance of helper T cell 17(Th17)/regulatory T cells(Treg)in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs)of patients with ankylosing spondylitis(AS).Methods A total of 101 AS patients were selected as the AS group.According to the AS Disease Activity Index(BASDAI)score,patients were divided into the AS stable phase(ASS)group(＜4 points,42 cases)and the AS active phase(ASA)group(≥4 points,59 cases).Additionally,50 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examinations at our hospital during the same period were selected as the control group(health group).Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)was used to determine the mRNA expression of TLR4 and JAK3 in PBMCs,and the proportion of serum Th17 and Treg was measured and Th17/Treg levels were calculated.Results The levels of TLR4 mRNA and JAK3 mRNA in PBMCs of peripheral blood were higher in the AS group than those in the health group(P＜0.05).The levels of Th17,proportion and Th17/Treg in peripheral blood were higher in the AS group than those of the health group(P＜0.05).Higher levels of TLR4 mRNA,JAK3 mRNA,Th17,and Th17/Treg were risk factors for AS,while higher level of Treg was protective factors for AS.TLR4 mRNA and JAK3 mRNA in AS patients were positively correlated with Th17 ratio and Th17/Treg ratio,and negatively correlated with Treg ratio(P＜0.05).Conclusion TLR4 and JAK3 genes are highly expressed and Th17/Treg is unbalanced in PBMC of AS patients.The high expression of TLR4 and JAK3 genes is closely related to Th17/Treg imbalance in AS patients.

[Purpose]To investigate the trends of incidence and age at onset of uterine corpus can-cer in Jiangsu cancer registration areas from 2009 to 2019.[Methods]The continuous monitoring data of uterine corpus cancer from 2009 to 2019 were collected from 16 cancer registries in Jiang-su Province.The crude incidence rate,the age-standardized incidence rate by Chinese standard population(ASIRC),crude and adjusted mean age,and standardized age-specific incidence composition were calculated.The average annual percentage change(AAPC)were analyzed by the Joinpoint regression model.The linear regression model was used to analyze the relationship be-tween mean age at onset and year.The standardized age-specific incidence composition in 2009 and 2019 were compared.[Results]The ASIRC of uterine corpus cancer in all registration areas and in rural areas of Jiangsu Province showed upward trends with AAPC of 1.78％and 2.38％,re-spectively(P＜0.05),but not showed in the urban areas(AAPC=1.30％,P＞0.05).The crude mean age at onset increased from 56.48 years old in 2009 to 58.26 years old in 2019 with an average annual growth of 0.173 years old(P=0.001).After the population structure standardized,the trends disappeared in all registration areas.[Conclusion]From 2009 to 2019,the standardized incidence rates of uterine corpus cancer were on rise in Jiangsu cancer registration areas,especially in the age group of 50 to 59 years old.

Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is a rare but serious complication after cerebral revascularization, which may lead to catastrophic consequences. The mechanism of CHS is not fully understood, and it may be related to cerebral autoregulation dysfunction and the increase of blood pressure after operation. Timely detection and treatment of cerebral hyperperfusion can avoid CHS. This article reviews the pathogenesis, diagnosis, clinical manifestations, prevention and treatment of CHS.
