Blood donors with HBV core anti-body: a follow-up study / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To evaluate the role of anti-HBc detection in current blood screening strategy by the follow-up of repeated donors with antibody to hepatitis B virus core antigen. 【Methods】 Plasma samples were collected randomly from Dalian Blood Center. to test anti-HBc(dual reagents) and anti-HBs via ELISA. The re-donation of eligible donors who were anti-HBc+ and donors reactive to HBV detection were followed up. 【Results】 A total of 1 291 plasma samples were collected randomly from May 2017 to March 2018, among which 405 samples(31.4%)were anti-HBc+. The median age of anti-HBc+ group was observed much higher than that of anti-HBc-group (39 vs 31 years old) (P0.05). Among the 405 anti-HBc+ donors, 3 donors were OBI (0.7%), of which one was screened out in second donation. No HBV DNA was detected out in 3 OBI cases. 【Conclusion】 Although anti-HBc detection is not suitable in blood screening currently, it is of great value in the assessment of blood donor re-entry for HBV reactive donors in blood screening due to the high anti-HBc prevalence among blood donors.

Analysis of the re-entry status of voluntary blood donors with single reagent reactivity in Hohhot / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To statistically analyze the re-entry test and blood re-donation of HBV, HCV, TP and HIV single-reagent reactive blood donors in Hohhot from 2019 to 2021, so as to demonstrate the rationality, feasibility and necessity of the re-entry strategy of voluntary blood donors in Hohhot, and provide theoretical support for further standardizing of the reentry of blood donors. 【Methods】 A total of 225 samples of blood donors who applied for re-entry in Hohhot from 2019 to 2021 were collected, and HBV, HCV and HIV were tested by two reagent serological tests and nucleic acid tests. TP anti-TP was detected by two reagent serological methods. The test results were all non-reactive and met the requirements of re-entry. The blood donation status of blood donors after re-entry was followed up and analyzed. 【Results】 Among the 225 cases detected for HBV, HCV, TP and HIV from 2019 to 2021 in Hohhot, 178 were qualified for the returning, with a re-entry rate of 79.11%, and 75 donated blood again, with a after re-entry re-donation rate of 42.13%. 【Conclusion】 The strategy of returning for HBV, HCV, TP and HIV single reagent reactive blood donors in Hohhot is effective, and has positive significance for safeguarding the rights and interests of blood donors and alleviating regional blood supply shortages.

Following up and re-entry of HBV reactive blood donors in Yantai area / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To analyze the preliminary screening and follow-up testing data of HBV in Yantai area, and discuss the rationality of following up and re-entry program of HBV reactive blood donors. 【Methods】 Donors who were single reagent reactive by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in initial screening but non-reactive by nucleic acid testing (NAT) were followed up. Individual NAT(ID-NAT) was performed for HBV DNA, ELISA for HBsAg, HBsAb, HBeAb, HBeAg and HBcAb, and ECLIA for the detection of HBsAg. 【Results】 A total of 547 blood donors were HBsAg ELISA-/NAT+, and 97 were followed up, among which 24 met the requirements of re-entry while 73 did not. Of the 24 blood donors who met the re-entry requirements, 13 donated blood again, with test results all qualified. 【Conclusion】 The combination of ELISA, ID-NAT, and ECLIA methods for following up detection for HBsAg ELISA+ blood donors is recommended. Blood donors with HbsAb S/CO ≥ 10 and negative results for other tests met the re-entry requirements, with a re-entry rate at 24.74%, and the re-donation qualified rate of blood donors after re-entry was 100%.

Hemodynamic Analysis of Redissection after Endovascular Repair for One Stanford Type B Aortic Dissection Case / 医用生物力学

Objective Based on hemodynamic analysis, to investigate the cause of distal re-entry tear in Stanford type B aortic dissection after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).Methods A patient with type B aortic dissection was reexamined regularly with computed tomography angiography (CTA) at 1st month, 6th month, 12th month and 24th month after TEVAR. Based on the CTA images in each period, three-dimensional (3D) aorta models were reconstructed to perform morphological analysis and hemodynamic simulation.Results Compared with the diameter at 1st month after TEVAR, the diameter of true lumen at 12 months after TEVAR increased by 1.8 times and the global distortion of aorta increased by 16.67%. At postoperative 1st, 6th and 12th month, the maximum blood velocities at the new entry tear in systole were 69.6%, 33.7% and 92.1% higher than the average ones at distal landing zone, and the maximum wall shear stresses (WSSs) were 2.52, 2.32 and 3.52 times of the average WSSs respectively. In addition, the maximum time-averaged WSS (TAWSS) at 1st, 6th and 12th month after TEVAR were 1.88, 2.53 and 3.62 times of the mean TAWSS respectively.ConclusionsThe morphology of the aorta remodeled after TEVAR, and a sudden change in the diameter of true lumen occurred at distal anchoring zone and continued to increase. As a result, the blood flow velocity in this area accelerated, and the intima was continuously exposed to high WSS, leading to the redissection.

Analysis of influencing factors on re-entry of HBV DNA reactive blood donors / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To explore the factors affecting NAT reactive blood donors re-entry, so as to provide data support for formulation of scientific and reasonable strategy. 【Methods】 The basic data and laboratory test results of 174 NAT reactive returning blood donors from January 2019 to August 2021 were collected and statistically analyzed by logistic regression. 【Results】 Among 174 HBV DNA reactive blood donors applying for re-entry, 81 (46.6%) were eligible for re-entry. Blood donation type and deconstructed Ct value were independent influencing factors of blood donors’ re-entry (P0.05). No significant difference was observed in Ct values of deconstruction test, first re-entry test and second re-entry test (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 In view of the low re-entry rate of NAT reactive blood donors, it is necessary to establish a set of safety criteria to lessen workloads. Donors with exceeding minipool-Ct-values, repeat reactive by two NAT reagents, failure in the first re-entry test are suggested to be deferred permanently.

Ablación de reentrada nodal en vena cava superior izquierda persistente y ausencia de vena cava superior derecha / Nodal re-entry in patient with persistent left superior vena cava and absent right superior vena cava

Resumen La taquicardia por reentrada nodal es la arritmia más frecuente entre las taquicardias supraventriculares paroxísticas; la variedad lenta-rápida es la más común. En muchos casos la ablación de la vía lenta es el tratamiento definitivo y puede llegar a tener alta tasa de éxito y baja frecuencia de complicaciones. La presencia de una vena cava superior izquierda y la ausencia de vena cava superior derecha con drenaje venoso sistémico superior al seno coronario es una malformación congénita poco frecuente, la cual genera alteraciones anatómicas que dificultan el abordaje tradicional para la ablación de esta arritmia. Se presenta el caso de una paciente con esta condición en la que fue exitosa la ablación mediante ecocardiografía intracardiaca y reconstrucción tridimensional.

Abstract Nodal re-entrant tachycardia is the most common arrhythmia among the paroxysmal atrioventricular tachycardias, with the slow-fast variant being the most common. In many cases, the ablation of the slow pathway is the definitive treatment in many cases, often with a high rate of success and low frequency of complications. The presence of a left superior vena cava and the absence of a right superior vena cava with systematic venous drainage above the coronary sinus is a rare congenital malformation that leads to anatomical anomalies. These make it difficult to use the traditional approach for the ablation of this arrhythmia. The case is presented of a patient with this condition in which the ablation was successful using intracardiac echocardiography and three-dimensional reconstruction.

A Technical Focus on Antegrade Dissection and Re-entry for Coronary Chronic Total Occlusions: a Practice Update for 2019

Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are a commonly encountered lesion. These present in a diverse patient population with variable anatomy. Technical success rates of ~90% are achievable for CTO lesions in centers with appropriate expertise. Many lesions can be crossed with wire-based techniques. However, the most anatomically complex and technically challenging lesions will often require more advanced approaches such as retrograde access and/or the application of blunt dissection techniques in the vessel to safely navigate long and/or ambiguous CTO segments. Retrograde dissection and re-entry (RDR) and antegrade dissection and re-entry (ADR) strategies are often needed to treat such lesions. In many circumstances, ADR offers a safe and efficient means to successfully cross a CTO lesion. Therefore, operators must remain cognizant of the risks and benefits of differing technical approaches during CTO percutaneous coronary intervention, particularly when both ADR and RDR are feasible. This article provides an overview of the ADR technique in addition to updated approaches in contemporary clinical practice.

La comorbilidad y el reingreso en pacientes diabéticos / Comorbidity and re-entry in diabetic patients

Introducción: el reingreso de un paciente diabético es un indicador en el que interaccionan la calidad de la asistencia sanitaria, las características particulares del paciente y quienes le prestan ayuda. Implica también incrementos de complicaciones, mortalidad y costos para el sistema de salud y el paciente. Los reingresos más tardíos pueden obedecer a problemas derivados de la evolución de las enfermedades en los pacientes, como pueden ser la comorbilidad y la gravedad de la enfermedad. También a los cuidados recibidos fuera del hospital. Objetivo: identificar factores asociados al reingreso de pacientes diabéticos con alta comorbilidad. Método: estudio descriptivo de serie de casos, prospectivo, con 110 pacientes ingresados en una sala de Medicina Interna de un hospital en La Habana. Como variable resultado se consideró el reingreso hospitalario en tres meses de seguimiento. Resultados: el 35,5 por ciento de los casos reingresaron en menos de tres meses. La edad promedio de las 61 mujeres fue de 70,38 años y de los 49 hombres 66,19 años; las comorbilidades más frecuentes fueron la hipertensión 95,5 por ciento, cardiopatía isquémica 61,8 por ciento y obesidad central 56,4 por ciento; el puntaje del índice de Charlson fue de 4,41 en los casos reingresados y 3,54 en los no reingresados. Conclusiones: la alta frecuencia de reingresos en la serie se asocia a características que definen a los diabéticos en estudio como adultos mayores con altos índices de comorbilidades dependientes, fundamentalmente, de la presencia de complicaciones cardiovasculares de la diabetes asociada a hipertensión arterial(AU)

Introduction: The re-entry of a diabetic patient is an indicator in which the quality of health care, the particular characteristics of the patient and those who help them interact. It also implies increases in complications, mortality and costs for the health system and the patient. Later re-admissions may be due to problems derived from the evolution of diseases in patients, such as comorbidity and the severity of the disease, and also to the care received outside the hospital. Objective: to identify factors associated with the re-entry of diabetic patients with high comorbidity. Methods: This is a descriptive cases series study, prospective, with 110 patients admitted to the Internal Medicine ward of a hospital in Havana. As a result, variable, the hospital re-admission was considered in three months of follow-up. Results: 35.5 percent of the cases re-admitted in less than three months. Sixty-one were women and the average age was 70.38 years. Forty-nine were men and the average age was 66.19 years. The most frequent comorbidities were hypertension 95.5 percent, ischemic heart disease 61.8 percent and central obesity 56.4 percent. The score in Charlson index was 4.41 in the re-admitted cases and 3.54 in the non-re-admitted. Conclusions: The high frequency of readmissions in this series is associated with characteristics that define diabetics in the study as elderlies with high rates of dependent comorbidities, mainly, the presence of cardiovascular complications of diabetes associated with hypertension(AU)

Re-entry hypothesis testing within ligament of Marshall as a mechanisma for sustaining atrial fibrillation in dogs / 中华胸心血管外科杂志

Objective To explore the mechanisms of ligament of Marshall (LOM) initiat and sustain atrial fibrillation (AF).Methods The electrophysiologic properties of canine LOM were investigated using multipolar catheter mapping(normal canines,n =4,group A;AF canines,n =5,group B).The programmed stimulation were performed in the LOM,PV-left atrium(LA)junction and LA,respectively.Activations maps of LOM were analyzed from episodes of spontaneous onset of AF and initiation of induced AF by a single extrastimulus.The effectives refractory period of each part was compared and statistically analyzed among three parts in each group and between the two groups.LOM were cutted with surgical incision technology.The inducing rate of AF and the mapping rate of double potential and fragmented electrocardiogram were compared and statistically analyzed pro and post isolation of LOM.Results The incidence of abnormal potential of LOM in the two groups was significantly different(P ＜0.01),re-entry cycle(group A 25％ vs.B group 80％),tachycardia(group A 25％ vs.B 100％),double potential(group A 25％ vs.group B 80％),fragmentation potential(group A 25％ vs.group 80％).There was a significant difference in the rate of LOM tachycardia induction before and after LOM intervention in group B (P ＜ 0.05,before 100％ vs.after 20％).Conclusion There are two possible mechanisms of LOM involved in the occurrence and maintenance of AF:one is that LOM induces AF through spontaneous excitation,the other is that LOM participates in the reentry of left atrium and pulmonary vein in the form of bypass to induce and maintain AF.

Efficacy of VIABAHN for the Re-entry of the Right Renal Artery in the Case of Chronic Type B Thoracoabdominal Dissected Aneurysm / 日本心臓血管外科学会雑誌

This case report aimed to evaluate the efficacy of applying VIABAHN endoprosthesis at the dissection re-entry of the right renal artery after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in a patient with a chronic type B dissected thoracoabdominal aneurysm. A 78-year-old man was given a diagnosis of type B aortic dissection 5 years ago and underwent a successful TEVAR operation. Two years later, he developed complications such as chronic expanding aortic dissections ; thus, he underwent a second endovascular repair. Enhanced computed tomography (CT) scanning at the five-year follow-up after initial endovascular repair showed a 58-mm diameter thoracoabdominal dissected aneurysm. It also showed an apparent entry point dissection arising from the lower thoracic aorta and a re-entry point at the base of the right renal artery. Although the right renal artery was affected by the dissecting false lumen, all other abdominal branches were intact. He was treated with VIABAHN via occlusion of the re-entry of the dissection and reconstruction of the right renal artery. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged 10 days after the operation. Postoperative enhanced CT scanning showed that the aortic false lumen was completely thrombosed, and the right renal arterial flow had significantly improved. Although TEVAR is the standard treatment in acute complicated type B dissections, its role in chronic type B dissections remains controversial. Our technique of using VIABAHN for the reconstruction of the right renal artery showed promising results for patients with chronic type B dissections.

The Primary Study on the Methods and Feasibility of Re-entry of NAT Reactive Blood Donors / 中国输血杂志

Objective To study the methods andfeasibility of re-entry of NAT reactive blood donors.Methods ELISA Non-Reactive(NR) and NAT Reactive(R) Blood Donors in 2012-2014 were selected and informed consent.Blood samples collected were tested:ELISA (HBsAg、Anti-HCV、Anti-HIV and Anti-TP) and NAT (HBV-DNA、HCV-RNA and HIVRNA).ELISA NR/NAT NR samples were tested by ECLA for HBsAg、HBeAg、Anti-HBs、Anti-HBc、Anti-HBe、Anti-HCV、Anti-HIV.Results 30 donors were called back,and 11 of them were ELISA NR/NAT R,which were deferred permanently.19 of them were ELISA NR/NAT NR,and the ECLA results were 89.5％ ELISA NR/NAT NR donors were Anti-HBc R and/or Anti-HBe R (12 cases Anti-HBc/Anti-HBe R、5 cases Anti-HBe R).Anti-HBc R or Anti-HBe R donors had risk of infection,which were deferred permanently.2 cases all items Non-Reactive may be eligible for re-entry.Conclusion Re-entry of NAT reactive blood donors is very necessary and meaningful,but in the view of blood safety,it is important that establish a set of safe program for Chinese.

Preceding Re-entry Closure for Chronic Thoracic Aortic Dissection in a Patient with Marfan Syndrome / 日本心臓血管外科学会雑誌

<p>A 42 year-old woman with Marfan syndrome, who had replacement of the ascending aorta for acute aortic dissection several years ago, was found to have distal aortic arch aneurysm. The aneurysm had small entries at cervical arterial branches and large re-entry at the left external iliac artery. It was necessary to perform two-staged operation Bentall procedure with total arch replacement and abdominal aortic replacement with re-entry closure. It was usually performed with a primary entry closure for chronic aortic dissection, but massive invasion was expected. We performed catheter angiography for entry and re-entry, and decided to perform preceding re-entry closure. First, we underwent replacement of the abdominal aorta, and then successfully performed the Bentall procedure with total aortic arch replacement. The catheter angiography was useful for decision-making for medical treatment.</p>

Persistence of chlorpyrifos in greenhouse air / Persistência do inseticida clorpirifós no ar em casa de vegetação

Organophosphate pesticides are among those with the highest acute toxicity and are available on the market and used in several regions of Brazil. The concentration and residence time of the organophosphate pesticide, chlorpyrifos, in the air after application in a greenhouse were investigated. For more than 24 h, the chlorpyrifos remained in the greenhouse air at concentrations three times above the occupational exposure limit and was still detectable four days later.(AU)

Avaliaram-se a concentração e o tempo de permanência do inseticida organofosforado clorpirifós no ar, após aplicação em uma casa de vegetação. O clorpirifós permaneceu no ar da casa de vegetação em concentração três vezes acima do limite de exposição ocupacional por mais de 24 horas, e ainda foi detectado após quatro dias.(AU)

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair for chronic type B aortic dissection in 30 patients / 中华普通外科杂志

Objective To evaluate the results of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for chronic type B aortic dissection.Methods From September 2005 to January 2013,30 patients with chronic type B aortic dissection received TEVAR.All patients were followed for 2-90 months [mean (33 ±25) months].Results All of the procedures finally achieved technical success.However,during TEVAR,there were transient endoleaks in 8 patients including type Ⅰ endoleaks in 3 patients,type Ⅱ endoleaks in 5 patients and persistent endoleaks in 3 patients which are type Ⅳ endoleaks.Type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ endoleaks were successfully managed during the procedures.There was no mortality or major complication during the perioperative period.Three patients died during follow-up:one patient died of carcinoma of the colon and two patients died of the complications of secondary interventions related to aortic dissection.Totally there were seven patients receiving secondary interventions.The Kaplan Meier actuarial survival curve showed a 5-year survival rate of 87.9％ and the 5-year survival rate without secondary intervention was 72.8％.Conclusions Early and midterm results showed that TEVAR was effective in treating chronic type B aortic dissection.

Diagnosis of re-entry tears in type B aortic dissection with CT angiography / 中国医学影像技术

Objective To assess the value of CT angiography (CTA) in diagnosis of re-entry tears in type B aortic dissection. Methods One hundred and ten patients with typical type B aortic dissection were enrolled. Data derived from the CTA scans of all the patients and DSA of 70 patients were reviewed. The number, location and size of the re-entry tears were calculated and analyzed. CTA findings were compared with DSA results by using Kappa statistics. Results The mean number of re-entry tears was 3.41±1.90, and 83.64% (92/110) patients had multiple tears. Re-entry tears occurred in the middle of the abdominal aorta were more common than that in the other palce of aorta. The large ones commonly located in the most remote position of dissection. The sensitivity and specificity of finding re-entry tears with CTA was 93.78% and 88.89% respectively, the Kappa value was 0.827 (P＜0.01). Conclusion The consistency between CTA and DSA was good. The re-entry tears in type B aortic dissection can be depicted clearly with CTA, and CTA can be used as the main method for further observation and follow-up of this disease.

THE INTERNAL ARCHITECTURE OF HUMAN SINOATRIAL NODE / 解剖学报

The location, shape and internal architecture of the sinoatrial node (SAN) were studied histologically in serial section in 15 hearts (7 adults, 8 foetuses). Based on our observation, the human SAN may be divided into four layers, namely, (1) thesinoatrial node artery layer: its outer longitudinal muscular layer of its media partly lacked in the SAN concentrically; (2) the periarterial layer: the cells of this layer surround the artery concentrically; (3) the central layer, making up the main mass of the node: most P cells in which are arranged parallel to the node artery. In adult the diameter of P cells in this layer is 5.18 ?m; (4) the peripheral layer: most transitional cells in this layer radiate from SAN into the atrial muscle. These "tongues of transitional cells" extend mostly into right atrial-muscle and a few into the musculature of superior vena cava. The diameter of transitional cells of this layer in the adult is 7.28 ?m. In the adult the arrangement of dense collagen fibers appears circular in the periarterial layer, longitudinal in the central layer and radiative in the peripheral layer. According to the location, layers of sinoatrial node and the arrangement of the connective tissue, the functional significance and morphological basis of the re-entry are discussed.
