ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To analyze the distribution of unexpected antibodies in tumor patients retrospectively and explore the clinical significance. 【Methods】 Unexpected antibody screening was performed on inpatients with blood preparation and blood transfusion in our hospital from January 2004 to December 2022, with 1 176 cases tested positive, and the types of unexpected antibodies and distribution characteristics were statistically analyzed. 【Results】 Unexpected antibodies were screened in 1 176 cases, with the positive rate at 1.05% (1 176/111 483). The unexpected antibodies were mainly anti-E 16.33%(192/1 176), anti-M 7.99% (94/1 176), anti-Mur 5.70% (67/1 176) and anti-Lea 4.76% (56/1 176). Among the 1 176 cases, gastrointestinal tumors accounted for 27.99% (329/1 176), gynecological tumors accounted for 24.84% (292/1 176), respiratory tumors accounted for 16.67% (196/1 176) . 【Conclusion】 The influencing factors of unexpected antibodies in tumor patients were disease type, blood transfusion history and blood type. Therefore, it is necessary for clinical departments to carry out unexpected antibody screening and perform Rh blood type matched transfusion for tumor patients to avoid alloantibody production.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To analyze the factors affecting the efficacy of platelet transfusion and the specificity of HLA-Ⅰ antibodies in tumor patients. 【Methods】 Tumer patients applied for platelet transfusion from November 2019 to July 2021 in Sichuan Cancer Hospital province were screened for platelet antibodies. The transfusion efficacy was evaluated and its influencing factors were analyzed, Antibody positive patients were detected for HLA-Ⅰ antibodies. 【Results】 The positive rates of platelet antibody and HLA-Ⅰ antibody, as well as the platelet transfusion refractoriness rate were 35.2%(50/142), 32.4%(46/142) and 16.9%(24/142), respectively. The platelet refractoriness rate of platelet antibody positive patients was higher than that of platelet antibody negative patients [30.0%(15/50) vs 9.8%(9/92)] (χ2=9.428, P<0.05). Multivariate logistic results showed that gender (χ2=12.608, P<0.001, OR=3.800, 95%CI: 1.819-7.940) was an independent risk factor for platelet antibody production, and platelet antibody(χ2=8.648, P<0.05, OR=3.952, 95%CI: 1.581~9.878) was the independent risk factor for transfusion efficacy. The detection rates of strong positive, positive and weak positive HLA-I antibodies were 69.6% (32/46), 80.4% (37/46) and 97.8% (45/46), respectively. The antibodies with high detection rate were anti-B*15∶12, anti-B*57∶03, anti-B*57∶01, anti-B*13∶02, anti-B*49∶01, anti-B*50∶01, anti-A*25∶01, anti-B*15∶01, anti-B*15∶02 and anti-B*44∶02. There were 19 kinds of HLA-Ⅰ antibodies with MFI≥10 000, including anti-A*02∶01, anti-A*02∶03 and anti-A*02∶06. The CCI values were lower in HLA-Ⅰ antibody positive patients(n=46) than in HLA-I antibody negative patients(n=96) by Wilcoxon test (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Among tumor patients who received platelet transfusion, gender(female) was the risk factor for platelet antibody production. Platelet antibody positive patients were prone to platelet transfusion refractoriness. HLA-Ⅰ antibodies were the main platelet antibodies, suggesting that HLA-Ⅰ gene matching platelets could improve the efficacy of platelet transfusion.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the correlation between physical activity and nutritional status of Chinese children and adolescents, and to provide references for the healthy development of Chinese adolescents.@*Methods@#According to the six administrative regions of China (East China, Northwest China, North China, Central China, Southwest China and South China), 4 269 children and adolescents aged 7 to 18 were selected by stratified random sampling method. "Physical Activity Level Evaluation Questionnaire" was used to conduct a physical activity survey.

There was no significant difference in the detection rate of MVPA insufficiency between different nutritional status( χ 2=2.55, P >0.05); but in the 7-9 years old age group, the difference in the detection rate of MVPA insufficiency between different nutritional status were statistically significant( χ 2= 10.35, 8.86, 15.88, P <0.05). There were no significant differences in physical activity intensity and item types under different nutritional status ( P >0.05).@*Conclusion@#There are age differences in the correlation between physical activity and nutritional status of children and adolescents in my country.Therefore, the differences between different groups should be fully considered while formulating intervention policies.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the association between middle school students health literacy and bully victimization and associated sex difference, and to provide guidance for bully prevention in adolescents.@*Methods@#During November 2017 to January 2018, 18 900 junior and senior high school students were enrolled from Hefei of Anhui Province, Shenyang of Liaoning Province, Yangjiang of Guangdong Province and Chongqing by multistage cluster sampling. A self rated questionnaires were used to collect demographic information, health literacy, and bully victimization. Group differences by different characteristics and the association between health literacy and bully victimization were analyzed.@*Results@#The detection rates of campus and cyber bullying victimization were 15.8% (2 992/18 900) and 9.1% (1 723/18 900). Boys, junior high school students, students with poor family financial status and few close friends had a detection rate of 28.0%, 18.8%, 23.3%, and 33.6% of school bullying, which are higher than those of the control group ( χ 2=225.64, 148.07, 141.13, 143.49, P <0.01); boys, students with poor household income and few close friends, the detection rates of cyber bullying were 10.9%, 14.4%, and 20.1%, respectively, are higher than the control group ( χ 2=62.96, 112.82, 88.49, P <0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that students with low overall and dimensions scores of health literacy were more likely to suffer from campus and cyber bullying, except for the dimension of physical activity. In addition, at all levels of health literacy, males are more likely to be bullied than females ( P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#Health literacy of middle school students is related to bully victimization, which is sex specific. Intervention programs of bullying should focus on health literacy enhancement.

ABSTRACT
Neurotrophic keratopathy is caused by a variety of factors that damage the corneal sensory nerves,resulting in hypoesthesia of cornea,corneal dystrophy and inflammatory changes.The manifestations of neurotrophic keratopathy are recurrent or persistent corneal epithelial defects,delayed corneal wound healing,corneal ulcers and even perforation.There are still some difficulties in therapy targeting to nerve plerosis.Substance P,as a neurotransmitter,is expressed in ophthalmic nerves and many cell types,including corneal epithelial cells,stromal cells and immunological cells,and exerts its biological functions by activating intracellular signaling pathways.Recently,with the increasing researches of substance P,the treatment of neurotrophic keratopathy is gradually changing.This paper retrospected the clinical features and pathogenesis of neurotrophic keratopathy,summarized the association between substance P and neurotrophic keratopathy from the perspective of infection,surgery and systemic disease,and the prospects of substance P application in neurotrophic keratopathy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the repair effect on renal function between different times of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplant via renal artery route in experimental rats with adriamycininduced nephropathy.Methods Adriamycin-induced nephropathy model was established in 32 rats through injection of adriamycin though the caudal vein.Based on the scheduled times of BMSCs transplant,the experimental rats were randomly and equally divided into M0 group (zero time),M1 group (one time),M2group (2 times) and M3 group (3 times) with 8 rats in each group.Other 8 SD rats were used as normal control group (N group).Single dose of 0.5 rnl BMSC suspension (2×106 cells/ml) was transplanted to the rats of M0 group (zero time),M1 group (one time),M2 group (2 times) and M3 group (3 times),for the rats of the groups not receiving BMSC transplant a single dose of 0.5 ml L-DMEM culture medium,used as a placebo,was adopted to replace BMSC suspension.The transplant interval was one week.Before transplant as well as one and two weeks after last time of transplant,the serum urea nitrogen,serum creatinine,24 h urine protein and 24 h urine microprotein were tested,and one week after last time of transplant pathological sections were made for laser focusing microscope examination to observe renal pathological changes and the distribution of BMSC cells in the kidney.Results The values of serum urea nitrogen,serum creatinine,24 h urine protein and 24 h urine microprotein determined at each observation time point in M0 group,M1 group,M2 group and M3 group were significantly higher than those in N group (P＜0.001).The values of 24 h urine protein and 24 h urine microprotein determined at one week after last time of transplant in M2 group and M3 group were strikingly lower than those in M1 group (P＜0.05),but these differences between M2 group and M3 group were not statistically significant (P=0.063).Conclusion For the treatment of adriamycin-induced nephropathy in experimental rats,two times of using BMSCs transplant via renal artery route can achieve optimal curative effect.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the impact of human urinary kallidinogenase (HUK) on collateral circulation and blood perfusion in patients with acute cerebral ischemia (ACI) using multi-modality CT methods. Methods In a randomized controlled clinical trial, 75 patients diagnosed with ACI were enrolled and divided into experiment group (treated with HUK)and control group (untreated with HUK). All participants underwent computer technology perfusion (CTP) and computed tomographic angiography (CTA) examination before and fourteenth day after treatment. The CT cerebral perfusion imaging (CTP), CT cerebrovascular imaging (CTA) and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score were analyzed in two groups. The NIHSS score, cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), mean transit time (MTT), and time to peak (TTP) were compared between the two groups before and after 14 days therapy. Results ① After treatment, The two group showed increased CBF and CBV values and decreased MTT and TTP values. The CBF improvement was significantly better in the HUK-treated group than in the control group (t=2.470,P<0.05).②MTT and TTP were shorter in the HUK-treated group than in the control group (t=2.126, t=2.213, P<0.05).③ CTA maximum intensity projection (MIP) sequence revealed that the number of patients collateral vessels was significantly increased in the HUK-treated group than in the control group ( x2=4.265, P<0.05). ④The NIHSS score improvement was significantly better in the HUK-treated group after 14 days treatment than in the control group (t=4.330, P<0.05). Conclusion Human urinary kallidinogenase can improve blood perfusion and ameliorates neurological deficits. It is a safe and effective drug for treating ACI patients. The multi-modality CT methods are effective measure to assess blood perfusion and collateral circulation in patients with acute cerebral ischemia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) transplantation via renal artery in treating experimental rats with adriamycin-induced chronic nephro -pathy.Methods A total of 50 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were used as experimental animals.Two rats were used for the isolation and culture of BMSC.Twelve rats were designed as blank control group (group N);in other 36 rats adriamycin was injected through caudal vein to establish rat models of chronic nephropathy,these 36 rats were randomly and equally divided into three groups with 12 rats in each group:control group (group C,n=12),BMSC transplantation via renal artery group (group A,n=12),and BMSC transplantation via caudal vein group (group V,n=12).For the rats of group N,the same amount of normal saline was injected through caudal vein.Results At each observation point,the levels of blood urea nitrogen,serum creatinine,24 h urinary protein and 24 h urinary microprotein in group A,V and C were remarkably higher than those in group N (P＜0.01).One and two weeks after BMSC transplantation,the 24 h urinary microprotein level in group A was significantly lower than that in group C (P＜0.01);the serum creatinine level in group A was significantly lower than that in group C and group V (P＜0.01).One week after BMSC transplantation,both the 24 h urinary protein level and 24 h urinary microprotein level in group A were strikingly lower than those in group V (P＜0.01),but two weeks after BMSC transplantation these differences between group A and group V became not statistically significant.Conclusion BMSC transplantation via renal artery can improve cell-homing efficiency and improve the repair of damaged tissue as well.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the risk factors and prognosis of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) among hospitalized patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Methods From March 2014 to February 2015,216 first-time hospitalized patients with IBD were enrolled.Once hospitalized,stool samples were obtained for Clostridium difficile culture immediately,and at the same time toxins of Clostridium difficile (tcd) A and tcdB were detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR).The incidence and risk factors of CDI in enrolled patients were analyzed.Chi square test and nonparametric test were performed for statistical analysis.Results Among the 216 IBD patients,there were 73 patients with ulcerative colitis(UC) and 143 patients with Crohn's disease(CD).The positive rate of CDI was 13.9 ％ (30/216) in IBD patients.The positive rate of CDI was 24.7 ％ (18/73) in UC patients,which was higher than that of CD patients (8.4％,12/143),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =10.690,P＜0.01).As the severity of the disease increased,the rate of CDI positive patients in UC patients increased.Among three patients at remission period,17 patients at mild active stage,23 patients at moderate active stage and 30 patients at severe active stage,the CDI positive patients were zero,two,five,11,respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =4.820,P=0.028).In UC patients,the incidences of patients with hospitalization history in other hospitals within three months before admission in CDI positive group and negative group were 6/18 and 7.3％ (4/55),respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =5.740,P=0.020).In 30 days before admission,the rates of patients with proton pump inhibitor (PPI) taking history of two groups were 7/18 and 7.3％ (4/55),and the difference was statistically significant (x2=8.270,P=0.004).The length of hospital stay in CDI negative UC patients was 7.0 d (5.0 d,12.0 d),which was shorter than that of CDI positive patients (10.5 d (8.8 d,18.2 d)),and the difference was statistically significant (U=277.000,P=0.005).The rate of patients underwent intestinal operation in CDI negative CD patients within three months after CDI examination was 10.7 ％ (14/131),which was significantly lower than that of CDI positive patients (5/12) (x2 =4.520,P=0.010).Conclusions The incidence of CDI in hospitalized IBD patients was high,especially in UC patients;the risk factors included disease severity,prior hospitalization history within three months before admission and PPI taking history within 30 days before admission.CDI was correlated with poor prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the short-term and mid-to-long-term clinical effectiveness of endovascular isolation technique with covered-stent in treating Stanford type B aortic dissection. Methods A total of 183 patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection, who were admitted to authors’ hospital during the period from January 2005 to December 2013 to receive endovascular isolation treatment with covered-stent under general anaethesia, were enrolled in this study. The clinical data, including post-operative symptoms, complications, retention time in ICU, hospitalization days, 30-day mortality, etc. were retrospectively analyzed. After discharged from hospital, the patients were followed up to check the situation, position and shape of the stent, the diameter of dissection false lumen, the internal leakage, etc. The survival rate and the quality of life were determined. Results Endovascular isolation procedure with covered-stent was successfully accomplished in all the 183 cases. The retention time in ICU was (3.08 ± 1.93) days, the mean hospitalization time was (3.08 ± 1.93) days, and the 30-day mortality was 1.09%. After discharged from hospital, the patients were followed up regularly, and no collapse or displacement of stent was observed, and the stent remained in its normal shape. No recurrence of dissection, rupture or reversal tear was observed. No long existing internal leakage could be detected. During the follow-up period 4 patients died, among them three died from cerebral infarction and one died of natural death. The 5-year survival rate was 97.82% and the patient’s quality of life did not become apparently worse. Conclusion For the treatment of Stanford type B aortic dissection, endovascular isolation therapy with covered-stent has excellent short-term effect and stable mid-to-long-term result.
