[Objective] To compare next generation sequencing (NGS) library construction technology between probe hybridization capture and amplicon methods, and analyze the influencing factors of HLA genotyping resolution level and its prospects in clinical applications. [Methods] A total of 207 clinical samples with known typing results and samples from the proficiency testing plan were selected. The conformity rate of HLA genotyping results, allele coverage and typing data analysis indicators were confirmed, and the effects of two library construction methods on the level of HLA genotyping discrimination were compared. [Results] The concordance rate of 207 samples with the feedback results of PT or prior well-characterized HLA genotypes was 100%. Among them, 91 samples were captured using hybridization probe capture method. Compared with the original amplicon method, the hybridization probe capture method can distinguish the alleles of DRB1 and DPB1 that cannot be determined in 13 samples. The allelic imbalance of DRB1, DPA1, and DQB1 loci in 6 samples was resolved. Three samples were found to have missed detection of alleles at the DQA1 and DQB1 loci. [Conclusion] The performance indicators of hybridization probe capture and amplicon performance confirmation meet the requirements of clinical detection of HLA genotyping, which provides an experimental method and basis for clinical application.

Objective:The predictive model of cardiac arrest in the emergency room was constructed and validated based on Logistic regression.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. Patients admitted to the emergency room of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2020 to July 2021 were included. The general information, vital signs, clinical symptoms, and laboratory examination results of the patients were collected, and the outcome was cardiac arrest within 24 hours. The patients were randomly divided into modeling and validation group at a ratio of 7:3. LASSO regression and multivariable logistic regression were used to select predictive factors and construct a prediction model for cardiac arrest in the emergency room. The value of the prediction model was evaluated using the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA).Results:A total of 784 emergency room patients were included in the study, 384 patients occurred cardiac arrest. The 10 variables were ultimately selected to construct a risk prediction model for cardiac arrest: Logit( P)= -4.503+2.159×modified early warning score (MEWS score)+2.095×chest pain+1.670×abdominal pain+ 2.021×hematemesis+2.015×cold extremities+5.521×endotracheal intubation+0.388×venous blood lactate-0.100×albumin+0.768×K ++0.001×D-dimer. The AUC of the model group was 0.984 (95% CI: 0.976-0.993) and that of the validation group was 0.972 (95% CI: 0.951-0.993). This prediction model demonstrates good calibration, discrimination, and clinical applicability. Conclusions:Based on the MEWS score, chest pain, abdominal pain, hematemesis, cold extremities, tracheal intubation, venous blood lactate, albumin, K +, and D-dimer, a predictive model for cardiac arrest in the in-hospital emergency room was constructed to predict the probability of cardiac arrest in emergency room patients and adjust the treatment strategy in time.

Objective To understand the status quo of job embeddedness and turnover intention of hospital nurses,and to explore their correlation.Methods Using convenient sampling method,we selected 538 nursing workers from 8 tertiary hospi-tals in Guangzhou,and conducted an electronic questionnaire survey with job embeddedness Scale and Turnover Intention Scale.Results The total average score of job embeddedness was(3.41±1.26),and the total average score of turnover intention was(2.66±0.94).There was a negative correlation between job embeddedness and turnover intention(r =-0.060,P＞0.05).Conclusion The scores of job embeddedness and turnover intention of hospital nurses are at the middle level,and job embed-dedness is negatively correlated with the total average score of turnover intention.It is suggested that the management mode of hospital nurses should be standardized,the legitimate rights and interests of nurses should be guaranteed,the construction of pro-fessional certification system should be promoted,the nurses'positive job embeddedness should be promoted,the hospital nurs-ing staff should be stabilized,and the satisfaction of nursing service should be improved.

【Objective】 To explore the risk factors for the production of anti-HLA antibodies in patients with hematological diseases before hematopoietic stemcell transplantation. 【Methods】 The results and clinical data of 1 008 patients with hematological diseases in our hospital who underwent anti-HLA antibody testing were collected by using Luminex technology platform before transplantation from 2016 to 2018 for statistical analysis. 【Results】 The total positive rate of anti-HLA antibodies in 1 008 patients was 24.08%. Multivariate analysis showed that independent risk factors associated with the production of anti-HLA antibodies included age≥30 years old(P=0.046, OR1.467, 95%CI1.007-2.136), time from disease diagnosis to antibody testing≥41 days(P=0.000, OR1.830, 95%CI1.306-2.565), initial platelet count<20×10⁹/L(P=0.020, OR1.543, 95%CI1.072-2.220), prior pregnancy(P=0.000, OR5.187, 95%CI3.689-7.293), transfusions before admission(P=0.001, OR1.762, 95%CI1.257-2.470)and total platelet transfusion volumes after admission≥30 U(P=0.000, OR2.352, 95%CI1.638-3.376). Age ≥30 years old(P=0.023, OR=1.839, 95%CI1.088-3.108)and prior pregnancy(P=0.042, OR=5.258, 95%CI1.062-26.038)are associated with the production of anti-HLA class Ⅰ and class Ⅱ antibodies, respectively. The time from disease diagnosis to antibody testing≥41 days(P=0.000, OR=2.873, 95%CI1.612-5.119), initial platelet count<20×10⁹/L(P=0.008, OR=2.164, 95%CI1.225-3.822), prior pregnancy(P=0.002, OR=6.734, 95%CI1.993-22.751), transfusions before admission(P=0.001, OR=2.746, 95%CI1.531-4.925)and total platelet transfusion volumes after admission>30 U(P=0.006, OR=3.459, 95%CI1.416-8.451)are associated with the production of anti-HLA class Ⅰ and Ⅱ antibodies. 【Conclusion】 Older age, longer course of disease, lower PLT count, history of pregnancy and blood transfusion, and higher total amount of PLT transfusion are risk factors which affect the production of anti-HLA antibodies.Therefore, it is advisable to test for anti-HLA antibodies according to the situation before transplantation, which is of great value in guiding donor selection, monitoring antibody changes and improving transplant prognosis.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate changes in ultrafast pulse wave velocity (ufPWV) in individuals with arterial stiffness and subclinical atherosclerosis (subAS), and to provide cutoff values. Methods: This retrospective study recruited 231 participants, including 67 patients with subAS. The pulse wave velocity was measured at the beginning and end of systole (PWV-BS and PWVES, respectively) using ultrafast ultrasonography to assess arterial stiffness. The right and left common carotid arteries were measured separately, and laboratory metabolic parameters were also collected. Participants were balanced between groups using propensity score matching (PSM) at a 1:1 ratio, adjusting for age, sex, and waist-to-hip ratio as potential confounders. Cutoff values of ufPWV for monitoring subAS were determined via receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: PWV-ES, unlike PWV-BS, was higher in the subAS subgroup than in the subAS-free group after PSM (all P<0.05). For each 1 m/s increase in left, right, and bilateral mean PWV-ES, the risk of subAS increased by 23% (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04 to 1.46), 26% (95% CI, 1.07 to 1.52), and 38% (95% CI, 1.12 to 1.72), respectively. According to ROC analyses, predictive potential was found for left PWV-ES (cutoff value=7.910 m/s, P=0.002), right PWV-ES (cutoff value=6.615 m/s, P=0.003), and bilateral mean PWV-ES (cutoff value=7.415 m/s, P<0.001), but not for PWV-BS (all P>0.05). Conclusion PWV-ES measured using ultrafast ultrasonography was significantly higher in individuals with subAS than in those without. Specific PWV-ES cutoff values showed potential for predicting an increased risk of subAS.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of esketamine on Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) during endotoxin-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in rats.Methods:Thirty SPF healthy male Srague-Dawley rats, weighing 200-220 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=10 each) using a random number table method: control group (group Con), endotoxin-induced ALI group (group ALI) and esketamine group (group AK). Septic ALI model was developed by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide 10 mg/kg. The equal volume of 0.9% sodium chloride was intraperitoneally injected in group Con. Esketamine 10 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 30 min and 12 h after lipopolysaccharide injection in group AK. The rats were anesthetized at 24 h after developing the model, and the carotid blood samples were collected for measurement of PaO 2, and PaO 2/FiO 2 was calculated. The rats were then sacrificed for microscopic examination of the pathological changes of lung tissues which were scored and cell ultrastructure of lung tissues (with an electron microscope) and for determination of the count of the polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid(BALF), activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) (by colorimetric assay) and expression of TLR4 and NF-κB p65 (by Western blot). The wet/dry lung weight (W/D) ratio was calculated. Results:Compared with group Con, the PaO 2 and PaO 2/FiO 2 were significantly decreased, the lung injury score, PMN count in BALF, W/D ratio and MPO activity were increased, the expression of TLR4 and NF-κB p65 was up-regulated in group ALI ( P<0.05). Compared with group ALI, PaO 2 and PaO 2/FiO 2 were significantly increased, the lung injury score, PMN count in BALF, W/D ratio and MPO activity were decreased, the expression of TLR4 and NF-κB p65 was down-regulated ( P<0.05), and the ultrastructure of lung tissue cells was improved in group AK. Conclusions:The mechanism by which esketamine attenuates endotoxin-induced ALI is associated with the blockade of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway in rats.

Objective:To analyze functional changes in macrophages in mouse models of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) by modulating indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) .Methods:Forty specific-pathogen-free female ICR mice were randomly divided into 4 groups using a complete randomization method: a blank group, a VVC model group, a VVC model + 1-methyltryptophan (1-MT) group (referred to as the 1-MT group), a VVC model + interferon-γ (IFN-γ) group (referred to as the IFN-γ group), with 10 mice in each group. Except for the blank group, all the mice were injected subcutaneously with estradiol benzoate oil solution in the abdomen every other day for 6 days prior to modeling to induce pseudoestrus; after successful induction of pseudoestrus, the mice were inoculated vaginally with Candida albicans suspensions at a concentration of 2 × 10 9 CFU/ml once a day for 5 days to establish VVC mouse models, and subcutaneous injections of estradiol benzoate oil solution were continued simultaneously to maintain the pseudoestrus state; 1 day before inoculation with fungal suspensions, mice in the 1-MT group and IFN-γ group were pretreated with 1-MT and IFN-γ respectively, followed by once-daily same intervention for 6 consecutive days; mice in the blank group and VVC model group were intraperitoneally injected with physiological saline solution once a day for 6 consecutive days. On the 5th day of modeling, vaginal conditions in mice were observed and vaginal symptoms were scored; the vaginal lavage fluid was collected for smear microscopy and fungal colony counting; then, the mice were sacrificed, the vaginal tissues were collected and subjected to hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining, and the expression of IDO1 and the macrophage surface marker F4/80 was determined in the vaginal tissues by an immunofluorescence method; real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed to determine mRNA expression levels of IDO1, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and arginase 1 (Arg-1) in the vaginal tissues, and Western blot analysis to determine the IDO1 protein expression in the vaginal tissues. One-way analysis of variance was used to analyze the differences in indices among groups, and Tukey test was used for multiple comparisons. Results:Smear microscopic examination of the vaginal lavage fluid on the 5th day of modeling showed elongated hyphae with a few spores in the VVC model group, a large number of elongated hyphae aggregating in clusters with surrounding spores in the 1-MT group, and a few thin and short hyphae with a large number of spores in the IFN-γ group. Compared with the VVC model group (360.0 ± 15.9), the fungal colony counts in the vaginal lavage fluid significantly increased in the 1-MT group (523.7 ± 67.7, P = 0.002), but significantly decreased in the IFN-γ group (258.3 ± 27.57, P = 0.026). HE staining and PAS staining showed small abscess formation in the epidermis and predominant infiltration of neutrophils throughout the epidermal and dermal layers with a large number of spores and a few hyphae in the VVC model group; thickened epidermis and diffuse inflammatory infiltration predominated by neutrophils in the dermis were seen in the 1-MT group, with a large number of hyphae and spores aggregating into clusters, which were predominated by hyphae; in the IFN-γ group, spores aggregated in the epidermis without obvious hyphae, and a small amount of inflammatory cells predominated by neutrophils infiltrated the dermis. Immunofluorescence assay revealed that the relative fluorescence intensities of IDO1 and F4/80 were highest in the IFN-γ group and the 1-MT group, respectively. Western blot analysis revealed that the IDO1 protein expression in the VVC model group was significantly higher than that in the blank group ( P < 0.001) and the 1-MT group ( P < 0.05), but significantly lower than that in the IFN-γ group ( P < 0.05). qPCR showed that iNOS mRNA expression significantly increased in the VVC model group compared with the blank group ( P < 0.01), and increased in the IFN-γ group compared with the blank group, VVC model group and 1-MT group (all P < 0.001); Arg-1 mRNA expression significantly increased in the VVC model group compared with the blank group ( P < 0.001) and IFN-γ group ( P < 0.01), and increased in the 1-MT group compared with the blank group, VVC model group, and IFN-γ group (all P < 0.001) . Conclusion:In the VVC mouse models, upregulation of IDO1 may cause macrophage polarization toward the M1 phenotype, and inhibition of IDO1 may cause increased macrophage recruitment and exacerbate the inflammatory response.
