BACKGROUND:At present,the treatment of infected bone defects has the problems of long course of disease,poor treatment effect and high cost.The osteogenic effect of personalized bone replacement materials in clinical treatment is limited.Therefore,a 3D-printed bone graft material with both good osteogenic effect and antibacterial effect is urgently needed for clinical treatment. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research status of 3D-printed scaffolds loaded with antimicrobial agents for the treatment of infected bone defects. METHODS:PubMed,Web of Science,Elsevier,and CNKI databases from January 2010 to June 2022 were searched for related articles.The Chinese search terms were"bone defect,3D printing,scaffold material,antibacterial,animal experiments,in vitro experiments".English search terms were"bone defect,3D printing,scaffold,antibiosis,animal experiment,in vitro".Finally,60 articles were included for review and analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The 3D scaffolds made of titanium,magnesium,tantalum and other metals and their alloys have certain osteogenic properties,but do not have antibacterial function.Hydroxyapatite and other bioceramic materials have good biocompatibility and are prone to be degraded,whereas due to the lack of strength,they are usually combined with artificial polymer materials to form composite materials,which respectively mimic the inorganic and organic components in natural bone,and play their respective excellent functions.Antibiotics,silver/copper nanoparticles,antimicrobial peptides,gallium and other antibacterial agents play an antibacterial role by destroying bacterial cell membrane,producing reactive oxygen species to interfere with bacterial DNA replication,inhibiting iron absorption and other mechanisms.As a result,the 3D-printed scaffold has both antibacterial and osteogenic effects.However,there are still some problems such as drug resistance and difficult to control effective concentrations.3D-printed scaffolds are often loaded with antibacterial agents by loading drug-loaded microspheres on scaffolds,preparing antibacterial coating on the scaffold surface,and participating in joint 3D printing with drugs.The loading mode of antibacterial coating prepared on the scaffold surface is the most widely used,and its antibacterial effect is more stable.Nonetheless,the selection of the most suitable loading mode for antibacterial agents needs to be further discussed and summarized.It is a future research prospect to optimize the mechanical properties of composite scaffolds and prepare biomimetic bone scaffolds so that the degradation rate is consistent with the bone reconstruction rate in infected bone defects.The ideal antibacterial agents may play a role through a variety of antibacterial mechanisms,thus being expected to play a good antibacterial effect through low antibacterial concentration,which should be a hot spot of anti-bone infection research.After loading antibacterial agents on the surface of the scaffold,antibacterial agents can"intelligently"react to the local microenvironment,achieving controlled release,and regulating the osteogenesis,vascularization and immune response of the microenvironment,which is the focus of current research.

Objective:To analyze the spatial-temporal epidemiological characteristics of pertussis from 2013 to 2022 in Hebei Province and to provide a reference for improving prevention and control measures.Methods:Based on the data of pertussis reported in Hebei Province during 2013-2022 to analyze the popular characteristic, the ArcGIS 10.8 software was used to construct a ring map and to perform spatial autocorrelation analysis; the SaTScan 10.1 software was used for spatial-temporal scan statistics.Results:There were 6 715 cases of the cumulative report in Hebei Province from 2013 to 2022 without death. The annual report incidence was 0.90/100 000. The overall incidence rate showed an upward trend from 2013 to 2019, and during 2020-2021, it showed a sharp decline, but in 2022, it showed a sharp increase. Summer and autumn are the peak seasons of the epidemic. The incidence was highest in age group <1 year (48.67%), and the lowest age group in age group ≥15 years (0.45%) and mainly scattered children (78.03%); the incidence about men is higher than women. Spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that the onset of pertussis has spatial clustering, and high-high clusters were found in Langfang, Baoding, and Cangzhou, the top three countries with reported incidence. The area covered by a low-low cluster was consistent with the distribution of the corresponding low-incidence areas in this study. Space-time scan detects five statistically significant areas, and three zones were concentrated in 2022.Conclusions:The incidence of pertussis in Hebei had obvious season, population, and area-specific differences. There was obvious spatiotemporal and clustering, so the control of key areas should target the characteristics of time and space.

Objective:To investigate the application status of emergency radiology in China, and to provide data support for the standardized development, scientific management and big data research of emergency radiology.Methods:From August 12th to October 19th, 2022, a questionnaire survey was conducted through WeChat"Questionnaire Star"to send targeted questionnaires to investigate the relevant data of the current status of emergency radiology in China, mainly including digital radiography (DR) and computed tomography (CT). This study was initiated by the Chinese Emergency Radiology Database Collaboration Group, and comprehensively investigated emergency imaging personnel, equipment, workload, critical value reporting process, and artificial intelligence (AI) application status.Results:There were 123 hospitals in the study. The survey showed that emergency DR/CT reports were mainly completed by residents and above (69.1%). There were 21 DR brands, 10 CT brands and 8 MR brands used for emergency imaging examinations. The median number of DR examinations in tertiary hospitals and secondary hospitals investigated from January to June 2022 was 4 642 and 2 015 cases respectively, and the median number of CT examinations was 16 512 and 3 762 cases respectively. The average single-shift workload of DR in the emergency radiology department during the day and night shift in tertiary hospitals was mainly ≤20 copies and 21-50 copies, and the average single-shift workload of CT in the emergency radiology department during the day and night shift was mainly 21-50 copies and 51-100 copies, while the average single-shift workload of DR/CT in the emergency radiology department during the day/night shift in secondary hospitals was mainly ≤20 copies. In terms of critical value reporting process, 74.8% of emergency imaging doctors and 84.6% of emergency imaging technicians took the way of phone/text message to notify the clinical doctor or the patients′ family. The overall deployment rate of AI in emergency imaging was about 60.2%. 75% of the respondents believed that in the future, AI can improve emergency radiology work from aspects such as emergency screening, aided diagnosis and process optimization.Conclusions:The emergency medical imaging mainly based on DR and CT has the current situations such as generally low seniority of doctors, diverse brands of imaging equipments, large volume of examinations and intense workload per doctor, especially in tertiary hospitals, and dependence on traditional means for critical value reporting. At present, AI is emerging in the field of emergency imaging, and there is still a long way to go to play the huge potential of AI in the intelligent whole process of emergency imaging in the future.

Objective:To study the characteristics and clinical significance of mitochondrial injury of T lymphocyte subsets in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH).Methods:The clinical data of 57 patients with AIH (AIH group) from June to December 2021 in Hangzhou Xixi Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, while 60 healthy physical examiners were included as healthy group. The peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets (CD 8+ T lymphocyte count and CD 4+ T lymphocyte count) were detected by flow cytometry, and matched mitochondrial staining value according to certain algorithm was used to determine the mitochondrial damage of helper T lymphocyte (Th cell) and suppressor T lymphocyte (Ts cell). The levels of IgG, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were measured using a Roche E170 automatic electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) titer was measured by immunofluorescence. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors of mitochondrial damage of Th cell and Ts cell in patients with AIH. Results:The ALT, AST, IgG, positive rate of ANA titer, CD 4+ T lymphocyte count, CD 8+ T lymphocyte count, rate of Th cell mitochondrial injury and rate of Ts cell mitochondrial injury in AIH group were significantly higher than those in healthy group: (118.90 ± 37.61) U/L vs. (30.96 ± 14.37) U/L, (102.40 ± 36.51) U/L vs. (31.12 ± 14.06) U/L, (18.40 ± 3.71) g/L vs. (13.89 ± 1.98) g/L, 96.49% (55/57) vs. 16.67% (10/60), 438 (323, 637) × 10 6/L vs. 398 (272, 469) × 10 6/L, 296 (211, 296) × 10 6/L vs. 270 (193, 322) × 10 6/L, 61.40% (35/57) vs. 8.33% (5/60) and 82.46% (47/57) vs. 11.67% (7/60), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that the AST elevated and CD 8+ T lymphocyte count reduced were the independent risk factors of Ts cell mitochondrial injury in patients with AIH ( OR = 1.06 and 0.99, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.10 and 0.99 to 1.00, P<0.05); the ALT elevated and IgG elevated were the independent risk factors of Th cell mitochondrial injury in patients with AIH ( OR = 1.08 and 1.66, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.14 and 1.11 to 2.48, P<0.05). Conclusions:It is of positive clinical significance to measure the T lymphocyte subtype mitochondrial injury in patients with AIH. The probability of mitochondrial injury of T lymphocyte subtype can be predicted by biochemical indexes such as ALT, AST and IgG, so as to indirectly evaluate the liver cell necrosis.

Objective:To screen the candidate genes in a patient with Kabuki syndrome (KS), providing basis for genetic counseling, prenatal screening, prenatal diagnosis and facilitating early treatment.Methods:This study included a 16-year-old female KS patient born of non-consanguineous Chinese parents who presented to Department of Orthognathic & Cleft Lip and Palate Plastic Surgery, School and Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University. Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of the subjects and analyzed by whole-exome sequencing (WES). Sanger sequencing was performed to validate the mutation in the candidate gene. The conformational and physicochemical changes of the mutant were analyzed by Alphafold2, Antheprot and DOG.2.0.1, respectively. Distribution of KMT2D mutations in patients with KS was analyzed based on the Human Gene Mutation DatabaseResults:The proband manifested a typical KS facial gestalt, congenital cleft palate, fifth finger deformity, hypodontia, renal hypoplasia and hydronephrosis. Two de novo mutations c.[1166A>C; 1167dupC] (NM_003482) in cis on the same allele in the KMT2D gene were identified by WES and confirmed by allele-specific PCR. Bioinformatics analysis showed that three more α-helixes were added, and a (β-) turn and a (β-) sheet were reduced in KMT2D p. Y389S, p.V390Rfs*26 compared with the wild type. Meanwhile, the interceptive mutant-KMT2D protein p.V390Rfs*26 lost all four domains (FYRN domain, FYRC domain, SET domain, and PostSET domain), which may cause functional disabilities. Conclusions:Our study is the first to identify two novel and de novo KMT2D mutations in cis on the same allele in a KS patient and extends the KMT2D mutation spectrum of KS, providing evidence for genetic susceptibility counseling, prenatal screening and diagnosis, and early treatment of KS.

Objective:To investigate the role of methylation status of glutathione transferase mu5 (GSTM5) promoter region in the occurrence and development of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and provide a new potential molecular marker for the early diagnosis of MDS.Method:Bone marrow blood samples were collected from 40 patients with initial diagnosis of MDS [5 cases of MDS with single dysplasia (MDS-SLD), 7 cases of MDS with multilineage dysplasia (MDS-MLD), 6 cases of MDS with ringed sideroblasts (MDS-RS), 13 patients with refractory with excess blast-1 (RAEB1), 9 patients with refractory with excess blast-2 (RAEB2)], 8 patients with AML secondary to MDS and 6 patients with non-malignant blood diseases(4 patients with iron deficiency anemia and 2 patients with nutritional megaloblastic anemia) in PLA General Hospital from October 2018 to June 2021. Methylation status of the promoter region of GSTM5 gene in three groups were detected by the Agena MassArray nucleic acid mass spectrometry. The Wilcoxon nonparametric test (non-normally distributed data, median (IQR)] was used to compare the methylation levels of GSTM5 gene in different groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the specificity, sensitivity and accuracy of the test.Results:Cluster analysis showed that the methylation status of GSTM5 in MDS group was higher than that in control group [0.50 (0.27, 0.79) vs.0.29(0.10, 0.45), P<0.05]; The methylation status of GSTM5 in sAML group was significantly higher than that in MDS group [0.67 (0.36, 0.86) vs. 0.50 (0.27, 0.79), P<0.05].The differences in the methylation status of each CpG site were analyzed, and there were statistically significant differences between the MDS group and the control group at CpG_1, CpG_4, 5, CpG_6, 7, 8, CpG_11, CpG_13, 14, CpG_15, CpG_16, CpG_22 and CpG_24 sites ( P<0.05). The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the CpG_6, 7, 8 site curves was the largest, with AUC=0.861(95% CI 0.717-1.000; P<0.05), and the sensitivity and specificity were 85% and 83%, respectively. By analyzing the relationship between GSTM5 methylation and MDS disease development, GSTM5 methylation levels were significantly increased in the higher bone marrow blast group and the high-risk subgroup (RAEB). Conclusion:Aberrant DNA promoter methylation of GSTM5 was a frequent event in MDS and may play an important role in the occurrence and development of MDS. It might be served as a promising biomarker in the diagnosis of MDS.

【Objective】 To evaluate the performance of electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) in detecting HIV antigen/antibody in blood screening. 【Methods】 A total of 128 donors, reactive to anti-HIV(ELISA)testing, from September 2016 to September 2020 were enrolled, and seven samples were reactive to double anti-HIV reagents, among which 6 were confirmed by WB, 1 confirmed by NAT as negative.Two group of donors, reactive to solo anti-HIV reagent but being confirmed negative by WB(n=121) vs.randomly selected donors non-reactive to ELISA + NAT(June to September 2020, n=1360), were subjected to HIV antigen/antibody testing using ECLIA to compare the testing results, including concordance rate, sensitivity and specificity. 【Results】 The ECLIA results remained non-reactive for 1360 samples initially non-reactive to both ELISA and NAT.The concordance rate of anti-HIV reactivity by ECLIA and ELISA+ WB were 100%(6/6). For 122 samples, reactive to ELISA anti-HIV testing but nonreactive to confirmatory testing, 4(3.28%)of them were reactive to HIV antigen/antibody testing and 118(96.72%) nonreactive, with the concordance rate of ECLIA and ELISA at 96.88%(124/128). The sensitivity, specificity and false positive rate of ECLIA and ELISA were 100% vs 100%, 99.73% vs 91.77%, and 0.27% vs 8.23%, respectively. 【Conclusion】 ECLIA for HIV antigen/antibody detection has good sensitivity and specificity, which can meet the requirements of blood screening, and the false positive rate is lower than that of ELISA, adopted commonly in blood bank at present.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of five-step 180W XPS greenlight photoselective vaporization of prostate (PVP)for large volume (≥80ml) benign prostatic hyperplasia.Methods:A total of 240 BPH patients (PV≥ 80 ml), treated with five-step 180W XPS PVP from June 2017 to May 2019 in our center, were reviewed retrospectively. The average age was (70.18±7.71) years old, and 129 cases were over 70 years old. The average body mass index was (24.91±2.98 )kg/m 2. The median international prostate symptom score (IPSS) was 23 (20, 26) and the quality of life (QOL) score was 5 (4, 5) points. Besides, the preoperative median prostate volume (PV) was 98.29 (86.49, 116.32) ml, the median maximum urinary flow rate (Q max)was 6 (4, 8) ml/s and postvoid residual urine volume (PVR) was 120 (30, 200) ml. All patients underwent 180W XPS five-step method PVP operation according to the following method. The first step is vaporization of 1-2 o′clock (left lobe) and 10-11 o′clock (right lobe) in order to establish operating channel. The second step is vaporization of the lateral lobe layer by layer from the ventral side to the dorsal side. The third step is channel establishment of 5/7 o′clock mid lobe parasulcus. The forth step is ablation of the middle lobe laterally. The fifth step is vaporization of the apex of the prostate and trimming. The IPSS score, QOL score, Q max and PVR were evaluated 12 months later after the PVP operation. Results:All the 240 cases were treated by five-step 180W XPS PVP operation successfully. The median operation time and laser time were 83 (73, 98.75) min and 66 (60, 76) min. Capsular perforation was found in 3 cases, which occurred in the trimming stage. There were 9 cases treated with TURP to stop bleeding, and no cases suffered blood transfusion. Twenty-two patients underwent bladder irrigation for 6 to 24 hours after the operation, and the median catheter indwelling time and post-operative hospital stay were 3 (3, 4) days and 4 (3, 5) days respectively. Twenty-six patients suffered urinary incontinence, including 22 cases of urinary incontinence and 4 cases of stress urinary incontinence. In addition, there was no severe hematuria, severe bladder irritation or urinary retention among the patients. The postoperative IPSS score was 5(4, 7), QOL score 1(1, 2), Q max 18(15, 20)ml/s and PVR 10(0, 30)ml, which were all significantly improved compared with those before surgery ( P<0.01). None second PVP surgery was performed. Conclusions:The five-step 180W XPS PVP operation has the advantages of improving lower urinary tract symptoms, less blood loss and low incidence of perioperative adverse events. It is easy to use, which is a reliable minimally surgery.

Objective:In general, patients with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are considered to show an aggressive disease course. However, the relationship between the two subgroups in disease severity is controversial. Our study is aimed to compare the clinical characteristics and prognosis of double-seropositive and seronegative RA in China through a real-world large scale study.Methods:RA patients who met the 1987 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria or the 2010 ACR/European Anti-Rheumatism Alliance RA classification criteria, and who attended the 10 hospitals across the country from September 2015 to January 2020, were enrolled. According to the serological status, patients were divided into 4 subgroups [rheumatoid factor (RF)(-) anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody (-), RF(+), RF(+) anti-CCP antibody(+), anti-CCP antibody(+)] and compared the disease characteristics and treatment response. One-way analysis of variance was used for measurement data that conformed to normal distribution, Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for measurement data that did not conform to normal distribution; paired t test was used for comparison before and after treatment within the group if the data was normally distributed else paired rank sum test was used; χ2 test was used for count data. Results:① A total of 2 461 patients were included, including 1 813 RF(+) anti-CCP antibody(+) patients (73.67%), 129 RF(+) patients (5.24%), 245 RF(-) anti-CCP antibody(-) patients (9.96%), 74 anti-CCP antibody(+) patients (11.13%). ② Regardless of the CCP status, RF(+) patients had an early age of onset [RF(-) anti-CCP antibody(-) (51±14) years old, anti-CCP antibody(+) (50±15) years old, RF(+) anti-CCP antibody(+) (48±14) years old, RF(+)(48±13) years old, F=3.003, P=0.029], longer disease duration [RF(-) anti-CCP antibody(-) 50 (20, 126) months, anti-CCP antibody(+) 60(24, 150) months, RF(+) anti-CCP antibody(+) 89(35, 179) months, RF(+) 83(25, 160) months, H=22.001, P<0.01], more joint swelling counts (SJC) [RF(-) anti-CCP antibody(-) 2(0, 6), Anti-CCP antibody(+) 2(0, 5), RF(+) anti-CCP antibody(+) 2(0, 7), RF(+) 2(0, 6), H=8.939, P=0.03] and tender joint counts (TJC) [RF(-) anti-CCP antibody(-) 3(0, 8), anti-CCP antibody(+) 2(0, 6), RF(+) anti-CCP antibody(+) 3(1, 9), RF(+) 2(0, 8), H=11.341, P=0.01] and the morning stiff time was longer [RF(-) anti-CCP antibody(-) 30(0, 60) min, anti-CCP antibody(+) 20(0, 60) min, RF(+) anti-CCP antibody(+) 30(10, 60) min, RF(+) 30(10, 60) min, H=13.32, P<0.01]; ESR [RF(-) anti-CCP antibody(-) 17(9, 38) mm/1 h, anti-CCP antibody(+) 20(10, 35) mm/1 h, RF(+) anti-CCP antibody(+) 26(14, 45) mm/1 h, RF(+) 28(14, 50) mm/1 h, H=37.084, P<0.01] and CRP [RF(-) anti-CCP antibody(-) 2.3 (0.8, 15.9) mm/L, Anti-CCP antibody(+) 2.7(0.7, 12.1) mm/L, RF(+) anti-CCP antibody(+) 5.2(1.3, 17.2) mm/L, RF (+) 5.2(0.9, 16.2) mm/L, H=22.141, P<0.01] of the RF(+)patients were significantly higher than RF(-) patients, and RF(+) patients had higher disease severity(DAS28-ESR) [RF(-) anti-CCP antibody(-) (4.0±1.8), anti-CCP antibody(+) (3.8±1.6), RF(+) anti-CCP antibody(+) (4.3±1.8), RF(+) (4.1±1.7), F=7.269, P<0.01]. ③ The RF(+) anti-CCP antibody(+) patients were divided into 4 subgroups, and it was found that RF-H anti-CCP antibody-L patients had higher disease severity [RF-H anti-CCP antibody-H 4.3(2.9, 5.6), RF-L anti-CCP antibody-L 4.5(3.0, 5.7), RF-H anti-CCP antibody-L 4.9(3.1, 6.2), RF-L anti-CCP antibody-H 2.8(1.8, 3.9), H=20.374, P<0.01]. ④ After 3-month follow up, the clinical characteristics of the four groups were improved, but there was no significant difference in the improvement of the four groups, indicating that the RF and anti-CCP antibody status did not affect the remission within 3 months. Conclusion:Among RA patients, the disease activity of RA patients is closely related to RF and the RF(+) patients have more severe disease than RF(-) patients. Patients with higher RF titer also have more severe disease than that of patients with low RF titer. After 3 months of medication treatment, the antibody status does not affect the disease remission rate.
