Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) has a wide range of symptoms, and it is difficult for clinicians to make a quick and correct diagnosis. On November 11, 2021, a 36-year-old male patient with AAV was admitted to the emergency and critical care department of Yichang Central People's Hospital. He was admitted to the emergency intensive care unit (EICU) with gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal pain, black stool) as the main physical signs, and was initially diagnosed as AAV with gastrointestinal hemorrhage (GIH). No bleeding point was found after repeated gastroscopy and colonoscopy. Abdominal emission CT (ECT) showed diffuse hemorrhage in the ileum, ascending colon and transverse colon. Multi-disciplinary consultation in the whole hospital considered the diffuse hemorrhage caused by small vascular lesions in the digestive tract caused by AAV. Pulse therapy with methylprednisolone 1 000 mg/d and immunosuppressive therapy with cyclophosphamide (CTX) 0.2 g/d were administered. The patient's symptoms quickly relieved and transferred out of the EICU. After 17 days of treatment, the patient finally died of massive gastrointestinal bleeding. A systematic review of relevant literatures combined with the case diagnosis and treatment process found that only a minority of AAV patients present with gastrointestinal symptoms as their first symptoms, and patients with GIH were very rare. Such patients had a poor prognosis. This patient delayed the use of induced remission and immunosuppressive agents due to the treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding, which may be the main cause of life-threatening GIH secondary to AAV. Gastrointestinal bleeding is a rare and fatal complication of vasculitis. Timely and effective induction and remission treatment is the key to survival. Whether patients should receive maintenance therapy, the duration of maintenance therapy, and the search for markers of disease diagnosis and treatment response are directions and challenges for further research.

This study explores the effects of enhancing the definitive hematopoiesis(DH)signals during the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells(hESCs)into hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells on the generation efficiency and effector function of natural killer(NK)cells generated from hESCs(also known as hESC-NK cells).The hESC(H1)were transformed into embryoid bodies(Ebs)by centrifugation,and during the induction of K562,were used to analyze the efficiency of hematopoietic differentiation,the efficiency of NK cell generation from hESC,the in vitro effector functions,and the expression of effector function related surface receptors.Compared to the control group,the DH group had a significant increase in the number of arterial hematopoietic endothelial cells(CD34+DLL4+)and a significant decrease in primitive hematopoietic related cells(CD34-CD43+)on day 8 of hematopoietic differentiation(P<0.05).On day 28 of NK cell differentiation,the DH group demonstrated a significant increase in the number of NK cells(CD45+CD56+),while a slight increase in the expression of effector function-related molecules such as IFN-γ,Granzyme B,Perforin and CD107a without statistical significance.Furthermore,the activation receptors CD16a and CD69 were significantly increased,NKP46 was significantly decreased,the inhibitory receptor NKG2A was significantly increased,while CD96 was significantly decreased on hESC-NK cells of DH groups(P<0.05).Conclusively,enhancing the signals for definitive hematopoiesis during hESC differentiation into hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells significantly improves the yield of NK cells and the expression of CD16a without affecting their in vitro effector functions.Our study provides a new approach to improving the efficiency of hESC-NK cell or iPSC-NK cell generation.

Performance evaluation of administrative personnel is challenging for performance reform of public hospitals. Constructing a reasonable performance evaluation plan for such personnel is conducive to promoting the high-quality and efficient development of hospitals. Hospital H has been exploring the implementation of performance evaluation reform for administrative personnel since 2019. Firstly, it clarified the responsibilities of various administrative management positions throughout the hospital and adopted the Hay position evaluation method for job value evaluation. Secondly, based on this, a performance evaluation index system covering common indexes, personality indexes, and implicit ability indexes was constructed, and the calculation and distribution methods of performance bonuses were clarified. The development of common indexes was based on the hospital′s " 14th Five Year Plan" , while individual indexes were used as key performance evaluation points of each department formulated according to the hospital′s annual key work breakdowns and the " 14th Five Year Plan" . The implicit ability index was constructed based on the competency model to guide and promote the personal development of employees. Finally, the hospital established a feedback and monitoring mechanism to ensure the steady operation of the performance evaluation plan. Thanks to the performance reform of administrative personnel based on job value evaluation, Hospital H has eliminated the phenomenon of " egalitarianism" in the distribution of administrative personnel performance, played a guiding and motivating role in performance evaluation for employees, and achieved better implementation of the hospital′s strategic goals. This can provide reference for the performance reform of administrative personnel in other medical institutions.

OBJECTIVE@#To assess the practical and health economical values of non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) in Changsha Municipal Public Welfare Program.@*METHODS@#A retrospective analysis was carried out on 149 165 women undergoing NIPT test from April 9, 2018 to December 31, 2019. For pregnant women with high risks, invasive prenatal diagnosis and follow-up of pregnancy outcome were conducted. The cost-benefit of NIPT for Down syndrome was analyzed.@*RESULTS@#NIPT was carried out for 149 165 pregnant women and succeeded in 148 749 cases (99.72%), for which outcome were available in 148 538 (99.86%). 90% of pregnant women from the region accepted the screening with NIPT. 415 (0.27%) were diagnosed as high risk. Among these, 381 (91.81%) accepted amniocentesis, which led to the diagnosis of 212 cases of trisomy 21 (PPV=85.14%), 41 cases with trisomy 18 (PPV=48.81%) and 10 cases with trisomy 13 (PPV=20.83%). The sensitivity and specificity of NIPT for trisomy 21, trisomy 18 and trisomy 13 were (97.70%, 99.98%), (97.62%, 9.97%) and (100%, 99.97%), respectively. In addition, 213 and 30 cases were diagnosed with sex chromosomal aneuploidies (PPV=46.2%) and other autosomal anomalies (PPV=16.57%), respectively. For Down syndrome screening, the cost and benefit of the project was 120.79 million yuan and 1,056.95 million yuan, respectively. The cost-benefit ratio was 1: 8.75, and safety index was 0.0035.@*CONCLUSION@#NIPT is a highly accurate screening test for trisomy 21, which was followed by trisomy 18 and sex chromosomal aneuploidies, while it was less accurate for other autosomal aneuploidies. The application of NIPT screening has a high health economical value.

Objective:To analyze any changes in the functional connectivity between the seed points of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and the whole brain, as well as any fluctuations in the low-frequency amplitude among persons with post-stroke depression (PSD). The aim was to develop correlations among functional imaging results, clinical scales, and inflammation indicators including high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 2 (IL-2), interleukin 10 (IL-10), interleukin 17a (IL-17a) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ).Methods:Between 2016 and 2020, 55 ischemic stroke survivors were tested. The 28 scoring 7 or more on the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17) formed the PSD group, while the 27 others formed the control group. Functional magnetic resonance images were collected, and serum inflammation indicators were determined.Results:When seed points in the left DLPFC were used, in the PSD group the frontal cortex (FC) decreased in one cluster, with a voxel of 129mm3 and the MNI coordinates (x=9, y=30, z=33) indicating that the anatomical automatic labeling (AAL) brain regions were the Cingulum_Ant_L, Cingulum_Mid_R and the frontal_Sup_Medial_L. When the right DLPFC was used as the seed point the FC again decreased in one cluster, with voxels of 44mm 3 and the MNI coordinates (x=-27, y=12, z=47) referring to the AAL brain region of the frontal_Mid_L. In the PSD group, the FC value of abnormal brain areas with the R-DLPFC as the seed point was positively correlated with time since stroke. In the control group, the FC value of abnormal brain areas with L-DLPFC as the seed point was negatively correlated with MoCA, while with R-DLPFC as the seed point it was positively correlated with IFN-γ. The FC values of abnormal areas of the brain showed no significant correlation with other clinical scales, inflammation indicators or lesion volume. Conclusion:Abnormal functional connections within the executive control network and between the salience networks may participate in the mechanism of PSD, and may be related to the time since stroke, cognitive functioning, and IFN-γ levels.

Corynebacterium glutamicum, an important microorganism to produce amino acids and organic acids, has been widely applied in food and medicine fields. Therefore, using editing tools to study the function of unknown genes in C. glutamicum has great significance for systematic development of industrial strain with efficient and novel production capability. Recently, gene editing has been greatly developed. Traditional gene editing based on homologous recombination and gene editing mediated by nuclease are successfully applied in C. glutamicum. Among these, the CRISPR system has been developed to be a main tool used for gene knockout of C. glutamicum due to its advantages of efficiency, simplicity and good target specificity. However, more efficient and reliable knockout system is still urgently demanded, to help develop high-performing strains in industrial application.

Objective:To compare the difference of clinical effects between multidisciplinary treatment (MDT) mode and traditional consultation mode in diagnosis and treatment of patients with dangerous upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage.Methods:The clinical data of patients with dangerous upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage admitted to the department of emergency and critical care medicine of Yichang Central People's Hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively, taking 30 patients in traditional consultation mode from January 2018 to December 2018 as traditional consultation group, and 26 patients in MDT mode from January 2019 to December 2019 as MDT group. The recovery time of vital signs, length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, length of hospital stay, medical expenses, rebleeding rate, surgical operation rate, amount of blood transfusion, hospital mortality, and clinical effect of the two groups were observed.Results:The recovery time of vital signs, length of ICU stay and length of hospital stay in the MDT group were significantly shorter than those in the traditional consultation group (days: 1.62±1.30 vs. 2.20±0.93, 10.04±2.82 vs. 13.27±2.86, 3.50±1.63 vs. 4.70±2.17, both P < 0.05), and the medical expenses, rebleeding rate and blood transfusion volume were lower than those in the traditional consultation group [medical expenses (ten thousands Yuan): 6.40±3.07 vs. 8.56±4.07, rebleeding rate: 15.38% (4/26) vs. 43.33% (13/30), blood transfusion volume (U): 5.54±3.20 vs. 7.71±3.83, plasma volume (mL): 330.77±258.87 vs. 458.33±322.73, cold precipitation volume (U): 4.52±4.15 vs. 6.67±4.85, platelet volume (U): 0.40±0.19 vs. 0.77±0.60, all P < 0.05]. The clinical total efficiency in the MDT group was significantly higher than that in the traditional consultation group (88.5% vs. 80.0%, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the surgical operation rate and hospital mortality between the two groups. Conclusions:Compared with the traditional consultation mode, MDT mode can significantly shorten the recovery time of vital signs, the length of ICU stay, the length of hospital stay, reduce blood transfusion volume, medical expense and rebleeding risk of patients with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and has better clinical effect. However, there is no significant difference in surgical operation rate and hospital mortality between the two modes.

PURPOSE: Various inflammation-based prognostic biomarkers such as the platelet to lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, are related to poor survival in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). This study aims to investigate the prognostic value of the aspartate aminotransferase to neutrophil ratio index (ANRI) in ICC after hepatic resection. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data of 184 patients with ICC after hepatectomy were retrospectively reviewed. The cut-off value of ANRI was determined by a receiver operating characteristic curve. Preoperative ANRI and clinicopathological variables were analyzed. The predictive value of preoperative ANRI for prognosis of ICC was identified by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: The optimal cut-off value of ANRI was 6.7. ANRI was associated with tumor size, tumor recurrence, white blood cell, neutrophil count, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine transaminase. Univariate analysis showed that ANRI, sex, tumor number, tumor size, tumor differentiation, lymph node metastasis, resection margin, clinical TNM stage, neutrophil count, and carcinoembryonic antigen were markedly correlated with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with ICC. Multivariable analyses revealed that ANRI, a tumor size > 6 cm, poor tumor differentiation, and an R1 resection margin were independent prognostic factors for both OS and DFS. Additionally, preoperative ANRI also had a significant value to predict prognosis in various subgroups of ICC, including serum hepatitis B surface antigen‒negative and preoperative elevated carbohydrate antigen 19-9 patients. CONCLUSION: Preoperative declined ANRI is a noninvasive, simple, and effective predictor of poor prognosis in patients with ICC after hepatectomy.
