Objective To analyze the pathogenic composition of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) cases and the antibody level of enterovirus 71 (EV-A71) in healthy people in Xi'an in 2022, so as to provide evidence for the prevention and control of HFMD. Methods Anal swabs or stool specimens of HFMD cases were collected. RT-PCR was used to detect enterovirus (EV) and serotype was identified. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect EV-A71 IgG antibody levels in healthy people. Results A total of 172 positive cases were detected from 274 HFMD clinical specimens with a total detection rate of 62.77%, including 1 case of EV-A71 (0.58%), 95 cases of CV-A16 (55.23%), 64 cases of CV-A6 (37.21%), and 1 case of CV-A10(0.58%). CV-A16 was the dominant pathogen in spring and summer, and CV-A6 was the dominant pathogen in autumn and winter(χ2= 64.376,P<0.001). The age of HFMD cases caused by CV-A16 was older than the cases caused by CV-A6(t = 2.709,P = 0.007). The positive rate of EV-A71 IgG antibodies in healthy people was 36.92% (168/455). The positive rate of EV-A71 IgG antibodies in men (32.35%) was lower than that in women (43.72%), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2= 6.605 , P = 0.014). The positive rate of EV-A71 IgG antibodies in people of all ages ranged from 21.95% to 54.78%, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2= 27.623 , P<0.001). Conclusion The main pathogens of hand, foot and mouth disease in Xi'an in 2022 are CV-A16 and CV-A6 . The positive rate of EV-A71 IgG antibodies in children under 5 years old is low , and EV-A71 vaccination should be strengthened.

Objective:To investigate the genetic and evolutionary characteristics of hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes of influenza B/Victoria (BV) virus in Xi′an city from 2019 to 2023.Methods:Twenty-five BV strains isolated from the Xi′an influenza surveillance network laboratory between 2019 and 2023 were collected. The HA and NA genes were sequenced using MiniSeq high-throughput sequencing platform. An evolutionary tree was constructed using bioinformatics software to analyze homology and mutation sites, and to predict N-glycosylation sites online. The antigenicity of the strains was analyzed through hemagglutination inhibition tests.Results:The BV influenza in Xi′an exhibited a distinct seasonal transmission pattern from 2019 to 2023, with peak prevalence occurring during the winter and spring seasons. The evolutionary analysis of the HA genes shows that the strains from Xi′an in 2019 belong to the V1A.3 branch, and the strains from 2021 to 2023 belong to the V1A.3a.2 branch. Analysis of antigenic sites showed that there were variations in 6 sites of 3 antigenic determinants in the HA proteins of the BV strains from 2021-2022 compared to 2019, and 2 sites of 1 antigenic determinant changed in the HA proteins in 2023 compared to 2021-2022. The evolutionary analysis of the NA genes indicates that the BV strains from Xi′an in 2019 belong to the A. 1.1 branch. By 2021 and 2022, it had evolved into the A. 1.2 clade, and by 2023, it had further evolved into the B clade and its derivatives, with no strains showing mutations associated with resistance to NA inhibitors. Antigenic analysis indicated that the majority of BV strains in Xi′an were similar to the strains included in the vaccine composition. Furthermore, glycosylation analysis showed that the potential N-glycosylation sites in the HA proteins of BV strains from 2021-2023 were reduced by one compared to those from 2019, and only a few strains from 2023 displayed alterations in the potential N-glycosylation sites of the NA proteins.Conclusions:The HA and NA genes of the BV strains from 2019 to 2023 are continuously mutating and evolving into new branches. Since 2021, V1A.3a.2 has become the dominant evolutionary branch of the HA genes, while the evolutionary branches of the NA genes from 2019 to 2023 have been continuously changing.

Thirty refractory relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML) patients who received salvage allo-HSCT with MeCBA conditioning regimen from January 2018 to June 2022 at Henan Cancer Hospital were included, and their clinical data were reviewed. There were 16 males and 14 females among the 30 patients with a median age of 37 (16-53) years. There were 3 sibling allograft donor transplants, 1 unrelated donor transplant, and 26 haplotype transplants. The median course of pre-transplant chemotherapy was 4 (3-22). The time of neutrophil engraftment was 14 (9-22) days and 18 (10-40) days for platelet. The 30-day cumulative incidence of neutrophil engraftment was 100% and the 100-day cumulative incidence of platelet engraftment was 96.7% (95% CI 85.4% -97.5% ). 22 (73.3% ) patients experienced grade 1-2 gastrointestinal reactions, and there was no grade 3-4 organ toxicity. With a median follow-up of 37.1 months, the overall survival (OS) rate, event-free survival (EFS) rate, cumulative recurrence rate (CIR), and non-recurrence mortality (NRM) rate at 3 years after transplantation were 70.0% (95% CI 50.3% -83.1% ), 65.3% (95% CI 44.8% -79.8% ), 21.2% (95% CI 9.2% -44.4% ) and 16.7% (95% CI 7.3% -35.5% ), respectively.

【Objective】 To investigate the independent risk factors of urinary tract infection (UTI) in recipients under-going renal transplantation of donation after brain death (DBD), so as to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of postoperative UTI. 【Methods】 A retrospective study was conducted for recipients who received renal transplantation of DBD in our hospital during Jan.2021 and Dec.2021. The recipients were divided into the infection group (n=26) and non-infection group (n=74) according to the incidence of UTI 3 months after operation. The risk factors of UTI were identified with univariate and multivariate analyses. 【Results】 The incidence of UTI was 26%. Univariate analysis showed that gender, postoperative urinary fistula, time of indwelling catheter and time of indwelling double J tube were the influencing factors of UTI (P<0.05). Forward stepwise regression analysis showed time of indwelling double J tube (OR=1.086,95%CI:1.003-1.177,P=0.042) and time of indwelling catheter(OR=4.687,95%CI:2.064-10.645, P<0.010) were the independent risk factors of UTI (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The time of indwelling catheter and time of indwelling double J tube are the independent factors of UTI after renal transplantation of DBD.

Objective:To study the efficacy of laparoscopic limited anatomical hepatectomy (LLAH) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) within the right anterior section.Methods:The clinical data of 144 patients with HCC confined in the right anterior section undergoing hepatectomy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from January 2015 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 122 males and 22 females, aged (54.5±9.7) years. Patients were divided into LLAH ( n=27), laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy (LAH, n=69), and laparoscopic non-anatomical hepatectomy (LNAH, n=48). Propensity score matching was used to compare the operative time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications, serum total bilirubin and albumin, and the prognostic indicators such as tumor-free survival (DFS) rate and cumulative survival rate between the groups. Results:After propensity score matching, there were 26 cases each in LLAH and LNAH group. There was no significant difference in operative time, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative hospital stay between LLAH group and LNAH group (all P<0.05). The total bilirubin and albumin in LLAH on the third day after operation were [ M( Q1, Q3)] 24.1(20.9, 29.1) μmol/L and (35.8±2.9) g/L, better than those in LNAH group 39.3(33.2, 57.0) μmol/L and (33.9±2.5) g/L, respectively. The 1- and 3-year DFS rates in LLAH group were 92.3% and 57.7%, higher than those in LNAH group (80.8% and 19.2%) (all P<0.05). After propensity score matching, there were 25 patients each in LLAH and LAH group. The operative time, postoperative hospital stay and postoperative complications of LLAH group were lower than those of LAH group, and the liver function parameters of LLAH group was also better than those of LAH group (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in DSF rate between the two groups LLAH group and LAH group ( χ2=0.10, P=0.800). Conclusions:The perioperative outcome of LLAH for HCC within the right anterior section are similar to that of LNAH and better than that of LAH. The DFS of LLAH were better than that of LNAH and similar to that of LAH.

Objective:To investigate the long-term efficacy of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) as the first-line consolidation therapy for high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the rituximab era.Methods:From January 2010 to June 2017, 113 DLBCL patients admitted to Henan Cancer Hospital who had complete remission (CR) after rituximab combined with chemotherapy were enrolled. Among 113 patients, 40 cases received auto-HSCT as the first-line consolidation treatment after chemotherapy (transplantation group) and 73 cases received chemotherapy only (non-transplantation group). The clinical data of 113 patients were retrospectively analyzed. The overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method, and OS and PFS were compared between both groups.Results:The 2-, 3- and 5-year OS rates of transplantation group and non-transplantation group were 90.0% vs. 91.8%, 84.9% vs. 80.1%, 80.9% vs. 72.8%, respectively, and the difference in OS was statistically significant of both groups ( P = 0.457); the 2-, 3- and 5-year PFS rates were 85.0% vs. 85.0%, 82.2% vs. 61.8%, 82.2% vs. 60.0%, respectively, and the difference in PFS was statistically significant of both groups ( P = 0.046). None of the patients in the transplantation group experienced early transplantation-related death. Conclusions:In the era of rituximab treatment, the first-line auto-HSCT consolidation therapy could improve the PFS of high-risk DLBCL patients who are sensitive to chemotherapy, and it may improve the OS with a good safety.

Objective:To investigate the effects of preoperative nutritional status on postoperative functional prognosis in elderly patients with proximal humerus fracture.Methods:From January 2020 to December 2020, 103 elderly patients (≥65 years old) were treated for proximal humerus fractures by open reduction and internal fixation at Department of Traumatology, Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University. Upon admission, according to the Geriatric Nutrition Risk Index (GNRI), they were assigned into a normal nutrition group (55 cases, with GNRI≥92) and a malnutrition group (48 cases, with GNRI<92). The baseline data, preoperative hemoglobin level, time from injury to operation, intraoperative blood transfusion, postoperative complications, 1-year mortality, and Neer shoulder functional scores at 3 months, 6 months and the last follow-up were compared between the 2 groups.Results:The 2 groups were comparable because there were no significant differences in gender, injury side, Neer fracture classification, injury cause, or American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grading ( P>0.05). The age of the malnutrition group was significant older than that of the normal nutrition group ( P<0.05). All patients were followed up for 9 to 16 months (mean, 13.6 months) after surgery. In the normal nutrition group and the malnutrition group, respectively, the preoperative hemoglobin level was (10.24±0.68) g/dL and (8.94±0.89) g/dL, the time from injury to operation (3.9±1.3) d and (5.8±1.2) d, the rate of intraoperative blood transfusion 14.5%(8/55) and 60.4%(29/48), the rate of postoperative complications 20.0%(11/55) and 39.6%(19/48), the 1-year mortality 1.8%(1/55)、4.2%(2/48), and the Neer shoulder function score (46.7±8.8) points and (43.2±5.6) points at 3 months after operation, (67.6±6.2) points and (76.3±5.5) points at 6 months after operation, and (80.4±5.0) points and (76.3±5.5) points at the last follow-up. Comparisons of all the above items showed significant differences between the 2 groups (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative malnutrition in elderly patients with proximal humerus fracture has adverse effects on preoperative waiting time, intraoperative blood transfusion, complications and postoperative shoulder function. Therefore, perioperatively, attention should be paid to the nutritional status of elderly patients to reduce their stress responses to fracture, surgery and anesthesia, and to improve their postoperative function and quality of life.
