A 11-year old female patient with severe thalassemia, receipt a lentivirus-based cell and gene therapy (CGT) therapy in Shenzhen Children′s Hosptial on July 27th, 2021. At the two follow-up visits after discharge, patient were continuously tested positive for HIV screening through HIV Ag/Ab Combo assay (chemiluminescence Immunoassay), and the viral load results of HIV-1 nucleic acid testing (NAT) were both>5 000 copies/ml. The patient can be diagnosed with HIV infection according to the National Guideline for Detection of HIV/AIDS(2020 Revised Edition). The thorough investigation findings and supplementary experiment results indicated that the false-positive HIV-1 NAT results was caused by cross-reactivity between the target sites detected by conventional HIV-1 NAT reagents and the lentiviral vectors fragments integrated into the genome of patient′s hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. In conclusion, it is important for laboratories to select appropriate HIV-1 NAT testing platforms which won′t cause cross-reactivity for the testing of samples from patients who have been treated with HIV-derived vectors. It is also recommended to design and develop NAT testing platforms with multiple target regions labeled by different fluorescents for HIV NAT supplementation experiment to reduce the risk of false-positive diagnoses of HIV infection.

Extracellular vesicles (EV) are highly heterogeneous nanoscale vesicles secreted by cells. They carry various bioactive molecules derived from the parent cells. EV are widely distributed in various body fluids, showing enormous potential in liquid biopsy and disease treatment. However, conventional flow cytometers face challenges in detecting single EV with a diameter smaller than 300 nm. The nano-flow cytometry (nFCM) developed based on Raleigh scattering and sheath-flow single-molecule fluorescence detection has successfully pushed the detection limit of EV to 40 nm. Through multi-parameter detection at the single-particle level, nFCM enables simultaneous analysis of particle size, particle concentration, and multiple biochemical properties of individual EV. nFCM can be applied to clinical diagnosis and therapeutics based on EV.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the maternal dietary patterns during pregnancy and the early childhood BMI change trajectory.Methods:The subjects were 1 241 pairs of pregnant women and their children in Ma'anshan maternal and infant health cohort. The food frequency questionnaire was used to collect the maternal diet data during pregnancy. The cohort children were followed up at birth, month 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24, respectively. The body height and weight data of the cohort children were collected. The principal component analysis was used to determine the categories of maternal dietary patterns during pregnancy, group-based multi-trajectory modeling was used to fit the early childhood BMI change trajectory, and the multiple classification logistic regression model was used to evaluate the relationship between the maternal dietary patterns during pregnancy and the early childhood BMI change trajectory.Results:The maternal dietary patterns during pregnancy included protein type, healthy type, vegetarian type, processing type and beverage type, which could explain 50.04% of the total dietary variation. Among them, the protein type, main dietary pattern, could explain 21.34% of the total dietary variation. The early childhood BMI change trajectory was from thinnish stature to average stature, then to mild obesity, accounting for 42.9%, 45.6% and 11.5% respectively. After controlling the potential confounding factors, it was found that there was a statistical correlation between healthy type and beverage type of maternal dietary patterns during pregnancy and early childhood BMI change trajectory ( P<0.05). Comparison of change trajectories between thinnish type and average stature type, children in the low-level group of healthy diet pattern tended to have a thinnish type change trajectory in early life ( OR=1.286, 95% CI: 1.002-1.651). Comparison of change trajectories between mild obesity type and average stature type, children in the high-level group of beverage diet pattern tended to have a mild obesity type change trajectory in early life ( OR=0.565, 95% CI: 0.342-0.935). The other dietary patterns had no statistical correlation with the early childhood BMI change trajectory. Conclusions:Maternal dietary patterns during pregnancy can affect the early childhood BMI change trajectory, and the low-level healthy type diet is an independent risk factor for thinnish type change trajectory, and the high-level beverage type diet is an independent risk factor for the mild obesity type change trajectory.
