Preeclampsia is a pregnancy syndrome characterized by complex symptoms which cause maternal and fetal problems and deaths. The aim of this study is to achieve preeclampsia risk prediction and early risk prediction in Xinjiang, China, based on the placental growth factor measured using the SiMoA or Elecsys platform. A novel reliable calibration modeling method and missing data imputing method are proposed, in which different strategies are used to adapt to small samples, training data, test data, independent features, and dependent feature pairs. Multiple machine learning algorithms were applied to train models using various datasets, such as single-platform versus bi-platform data, early pregnancy versus early plus non-early pregnancy data, and real versus real plus augmented data. It was found that a combination of two types of mono-platform data could improve risk prediction performance, and non-early pregnancy data could enhance early risk prediction performance when limited early pregnancy data were available. Additionally, the inclusion of augmented data resulted in achieving a high but unstable performance. The models in this study significantly reduced the incidence of preeclampsia in the region from 7.2% to 2.0%, and the mortality rate was reduced to 0%.

Aerococcus viridans is an opportunistic pathogen that is clinically associated with various human and animal diseases. In this study, the first identified A. viridans phage, vB_AviM_AVP (abbreviated as AVP), was isolated and studied. AVP belongs to the family Myoviridae. AVP harbors a double-stranded DNA genome with a length of 133,806 bp and a G + C content of 34.51%. The genome sequence of AVP showed low similarity (
