AIM: To investigate the bio-effects of salusins on rat heart and cardiomyocytes. METHODS: The cardiac function was determined by multipurpose polygraph in isolated rat heart treated with various concentrations of salusin-? or salusin-?. [ 45Ca 2+] and [3H]-Leu incorporation were determined in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes with ?-liquid scintillation counter. RESULTS: 10 -12-10 -7mol/L salusin-? and salusin-? had no effects on isolated rat cardiac function. However, salusin-? and salusin-? stimulated [ 45Ca 2+] uptake and [3H]-Leu incorporation. The [ 45Ca 2+] uptake induced by salusins were inhibited by nicardipine, and were synergistically increased by endothelin-1. The [3H]-Leu incorporation induced by salusin-? and salusin-? was inhibited by nicardipine, FK506 (a special inhibitor of carcineulin), PD 98059 (inhibitor of MAPK) and chelerthine (inhibitor of PKC). The effects of salusin-? on [ 45Ca 2+] uptake was stronger than those of salusin-?. But there were no statistical difference in [3H]-Leu incorporation between salusin-? and salusin-?. CONCLUSIONS: Salusin-? and salusin-? did not affect directly cardiac function in rat hearts. But salusins improved calcium uptake and protein synthesize in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Those effects of salusins were related with calcium channel, carcinuelin, MAPK and PKC signal pathways. Salusins may be the regulatory factors for myocardium growth and hypertrophy.

Objective To analyze the causes of death of one case of imported falciparum malaria in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in January 2023, to provide a reference for the prevention of fatal malaria cases. Methods Interviews were conducted with the doctors who received and consulted the patient, as well as the family members of the patient. Clinical data from the patient's diagnosis and treatment process were collected, and the patient's clinical records and epidemiological investigation data were analyzed. Results The patient, Mr. He, a 53-year-old male from Pingnan County, Guigang City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, returned from working in Côte d'Ivoire, Africa, and entered Guangxi on December 26, 2022. He returned home after his centralized quarantine was lifted on January 3, 2023. On January 4th, 2023, the patient developed dizziness and vomiting, considering himself to a possible COVID-19 infection, he did not seek treatment. On the morning of January 6, the patient developed a fever (peak body temperature of 40 ℃), accompanied by fatigue and sore throat, and the preemptive symptoms were aggravated. The patient was admitted to the Guancheng Town Health Center with "Pneumonia" and treated with ribavirin, dexamethasone, ceftriaxone sodium, etc. On January 7, the patient again experienced a high fever (40 ℃) and was discharged to the Emergency Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University. Upon admission, the patient's blood pressure was measured at 78/53mmHg, further comprehensive examination showed a decrease in platelets and abnormalities in liver and renal function, procalcitonin levels at 49.9 ng/mL. Chest CT showed pneumonia, and fluid supplements and antibiotics were given. On January 8, malaria parasites were found in the patient's blood smear, and the patient was diagnosed with malaria (not classified, confirmed as falciparum malaria on January 9th). The patient was recommended to transfer to the provincial malaria-designated hospital, but his family refused. On January 8 at 13:27, the patient excreted approximately 700 g of dark red bloody stools accompanied by blurred consciousness and received hemostasis treatment. After coordinating with multiple parties, four doses of "artemisinin injection " (60 mg/dose) were taken for treatment. At 18:59 on January 8, intravenous administration of 60 mg injectable Artesunate was given, accompanied by symptomatic treatment for fever reduction and rehydration. At 19:40, the patient developed severe hypoglycemia, and severe metabolic acidosis, and blood pressure continued to decrease despite the use of vasopressors. After comprehensive treatment at 3:00 am on January 9, the patient's condition continued to deteriorate, the patient's shock could not be corrected, he lapsed into a coma, and the family requested to be discharged from the hospital. The patient returned home at 7:00 am and died of multiple organ failure at 7:30 am. Conclusions For imported malaria, early and precise diagnosis based on epidemiological history, clinical symptoms, laboratory test results, early antimalarial treatment, and management of organ dysfunction are the keys to avoiding fatal outcomes.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of the common pathogens isolated during the period from 2009 to 2015.Methods All the bacterial strains isolated from pediatric inpatients in Beijing Children's Hospital during the period from 2009 to 2015 were analyzed. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by disk diffusion method and Phoenix 100 Automated Microbiology System. Results were analyzed according to the guidelines of CLSI (2014) using WHONET 5.6 software.Results The total strains were 26630. The most common gram-positive isolates were Streptococcus pneumoniae,Staphylococcusaureusand coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS), while the most frequently isolated gram-negative microorganisms were Klebsiella spp.,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. The prevalence of S. pneumoniae was up to 25.7 % (4101/15973) in all respiratory tract specimens. About 50.2 % of the S. pneumoniae isolates were not susceptible to penicillin. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains was 20.6 % in S. aureus (MRSA) and 87.8 % in coagulase negative Staphylococcus (MRCNS) on average. The prevalence of MRSA increased from 11.1 % in 2009 to 29.8 % in 2015. No S. pneumoniae or staphylococcal strains were found resistant to vancomycin or linezolid. The Enterococcus strains were still highly susceptible to vancomycin and linezolid. Overall 0.3 % of the Enterococcus faecium isolates were resistant to vancomycin. The extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) producing strains accounted for 71.4 % -78.1 % of E. coli and 65.1 % - 76.9 % of K. pneumoniae isolates. The carbapenem-resistant E. coli and K. pneumoniae were reported for the first time in 2010, but in 2014, the strains resistant to carbapenems had increased to more than 7 % in E. coli, and higher than 20 % in K. pneumoniae. In 2015, up to 27.7 % and 25.7 % of P. aeruginosa isolates were resistant to imipenem and meropenem, respectively, and 59.9 % of the A. baumannii isolates were resistant to imipenem and meropenem. Beta-lactamase was positive in 46.3 % of the H. influenzae isolates. Conclusions MRSA and the carbapenem-resistant strains of E. coli,K. pneumoniae and A. baumannii are still on the rise in pediatric inpatients, which poses a serious threat to clinical practice and implies the importance of strengthening infection control.

Chinese Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 2021;43(7):588-594
Objective:To explore the function of epidermal growth factor 8 in the polarization of microglia after ischemic brain injury and its mechanism.Methods:Forty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a sham operation group, an ischemia group, a recombinant mouse milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 (rmMFG-E8) group and an rmMFG-E8 + colivelin TFA group, each of 10. The middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion model (tMCAO) was established in all except the sham operation group. Right after the modelling the mice in the rmMFG-E8 group were immediately injected with 2μL of 0.4μg/μL of rmMFG-E8 into the ventricle contralateral to the cerebral infarction. The rmMFG-E8+ Colivelin TFA group was injected with the same dose of rmMFG-E8 plus 2μL of 5pmol/μL colivelin TFA. On the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th day after the modelling, neurological functioning was documented using behavioral tests. The volume proportion of the cerebral infarction was observed after tissue staining on the 7th day after the operation. The gene expression levels of M1 polarization marker-induced nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), M2 polarization marker arginase-1 (Arg1) and mouse chitinase-like molecule 3 (YM1) in the microglia were detected using real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reactions. The protein expression levels of MFG-E8, phosphorylated signal transduction and transcription factor 3 (p-STAT3) and cytokine signal transduction inhibitor-3 (SOCS3) were determined using western blotting.Results:The behavior tests revealed significant differences between the sham operation group and the other groups on all four days. Compared with the sham operation group, the average expression of MFG-E8 gene and its protein, Arg1 and Ym1, and the SOCS3/GAPDH protein ratio had decreased significantly in the ischemic group, while the average expression of iNOS and the p-STAT3/STAT3 protein ratio had increased significantly. On the 7th day after the modelling, compared with the ischemic group, the infarct volume was significantly smaller in the rmMFG-E8 group. The average expression of iNOS and the average p-STAT3/STAT3 ratio in the rmMFG-E8+ colivelin TFA group had increased significantly compared with the rmMFG-E8 group, while the average expression of Arg1 and Ym1, and the SOCS3/GAPDH ratio were significantly lower.Conclusion:MFG-E8 promotes the polarization of M2-type microglia after cerebral ischemia through STAT3 signaling, promoting the recovery of neurological functioning.

Objective To analyze the distribution and antibiotic resistance profile of Haemophilus influenzae strains isolated from children for better antibiotic use.Methods The clinical and laboratory data concerning 350 strains ofH.influenzae were collected and analyzed retrospectively from 2014 to 2015 in our hospital,including pathogen source,production of beta lactamases and antimicrobial susceptibility.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out by using disk diffusion method.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Association (CLSI) in 2014,and analyzed using WHONET 5.6 software.Results H.influenzae infection was more common in infants and young children.The prevalence of beta lactamase was 53.1% in H.influenzae isolates.The H.influenzae isolates showed the highest resistance rate to trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole (76.9%),but relatively high susceptible rate to ciprofloxacin (99.1%),ceftizoxime (98.9%),chloramphenicol (95.4%),tetracycline (88.3%),amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (87.7%),cefuroxime (74.9%),azithromycin (65.4%),cefaclor (56.6%) and ampicillin (46.0%).All these H.influenzae strains were susceptible to ceftriaxone and meropenem.Conclusions Beta-lactamases are highly prevalent in the H.influenzae strains isolated from children,which is the main mechanism underlying ampicillin resistance in H.influenzae.Ampicillin is therefore not appropriate for first-line treatment ofH.influenzae infections.The H.influenzae strains are highly resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.In addition to beta-lactams,ciprofloxacin is the most active agent against H.influenzae strains,followed by chloramphenicol.
