Background The decline of physical activity in the elderly due to aging may increase the risk of sarcopenia. Currently, there is a lack of evidence from large natural populations on the relationship between PA and sarcopenia. Objective To explore the relationship between PA and sarcopenia in the elderly aged 60 years and above in 10 provinces (autonomous regions) of China. Methods Data were retrieved from the 2022—2023 round of the China Development and Nutrition Health Impact Cohort. Personal basic information and PA data were collected by questionnaire survey. Skeletal muscle mass was measured by bio-electrical impedance analysis, muscle strength was measured using a grip dynamometer, and physical performance was reflected by 6-meter walk speed. The Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) 2019 criteria were used to diagnose sarcopenia. Light physical activity (LPA) duration, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) duration, and total physical activity volume were calculated. A total of 3326 residents aged ≥60 years with complete data were selected as the survey participants. Multiple logistic regression models and restricted cubic splines (RCS) were used to assess the association between PA duration/volume and sarcopenia. Results In 10 provinces (autonomous regions) of China, the prevalence of sarcopenia in the elderly aged 60 years and above was 5.5% (95%CI: 4.7%, 6.2%). The logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the elderly reporting 0-7.0 h·week⁻¹ in LPA duration, the risk of sarcopenia in the elderly with LPA duration of >14.0-21.0 h·week⁻¹ was reduced by 51% (OR=0.49, 95%CI: 0.26, 0.96). Compared with the elderly with total physical activity ≥15.0 metabolic equivalent of task (MET)-h·week⁻¹, those with <7.5 MET-h·week⁻¹ had a 2.24-fold increased risk of sarcopenia (OR=2.24, 95%CI: 1.17, 4.29). The RCS results found that LPA duration and total physical activity volume each showed a nonlinear dose-response relationship with the risk of sarcopenia (P_overall<0.05, P_non-linear<0.05). Compared with the elderly with an LPA duration of 0 h· week⁻¹, the risk of sarcopenia in the elderly with an LPA duration of 12.6 h· week⁻¹ was the lowest (OR=0.42, 95%CI: 0.21, 0.83). Compared with the elderly with a total physical activity volume of 15.0 MET-h· week⁻¹, the elderly with a total physical activity volume of 46.0 MET-h· week⁻¹ had the lowest risk of sarcopenia (OR=0.57, 95%CI: 0.38, 0.84). There was no statistically significant association between weekly MVPA duration and the risk of sarcopenia (P>0.05). Conclusion Increasing weekly LPA duration and total physical activity volume would help to reduce the risk of sarcopenia.

Objective　To understand the serotypes and sources of dengue virus (DENV) in Yunnan Province in 2023, providing a scientific basis for dengue fever prevention and control. Methods DENV nucleic acid testing and virus isolation were performed on the serum samples of dengue fever cases diagnosed at three national monitoring sites in Yunnan Province (Longchuan County, Menghai County, Hekou County) in 2023. Dengue virus envelope (E) gene sequencing was performed on positive serum samples and dengue virus isolates, and phylogenetic analysis was conducted using molecular biology software. Results A total of 1 006 dengue fever cases were reported at three monitoring sites in 2023, including 838 imported cases, 161 cases imported from other counties and cities in Yunnan, and 7 autochthonous cases. Among 371 serum samples, 351 were found DENV-positive, including 305 DENV-1 positive samples (174 imported from Myanmar, 1 imported from Laos, 1 imported from Vietnam, 99 imported from Jinghong, 26 imported from Ruili, and 4 local cases), 43 DENV-2 positive samples (8 imported from Myanmar, 6 imported from Jinghong, 26 imported from Ruili, and 3 local cases), 1 DENV-3 positive sample (imported from Myanmar), 1 DENV-4 positive sample (introduced from Ruili), and 1 untyped case. A total of 23 DENV strains were isolated, including 9 strains of DENV-1, 12 strains of DENV-2, 1 strain of DENV-3, and 1 strain of DENV-4. All DENV-1 strains from three monitoring sites belong to genotype I but were located on different evolutionary branches. The DENV-2 strains from Menghai County and Longchuan County belonged to the Cosmopolitan genotype and Asian I genotype, respectively. The DENV-3 strain from Longchuan County belonged to genotype I, and the DENV-4 strain from Longchuan County belonged to genotype I. Conclusions During the dengue fever epidemic season, the border regions of Yunnan Province face dual pressures from both international and domestic imported dengue cases. Imported or introduced cases carried DENVs of serotypes 1-4 (with five genotypes in total), leading to local outbreaks caused by these cases. Imported and local DENVs originated from Southeast Asian countries and exhibited distinct geographic distribution characteristics.

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) is widely used to treat common bile duct stones (CBDS); however, long-term studies have revealed the increasing incidence of recurrent CBDS after EST. Loss of sphincter of Oddi function after EST was the main cause of recurrent CBDS. Reparation of the sphincter of Oddi is therefore crucial. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness and safety of endoclip papilloplasty (ECPP) for repairing the sphincter of Oddi and elucidate its mechanism. METHODS: Eight healthy Bama minipigs were randomly divided into the EST group and the ECPP group at a 1:1 ratio, and bile samples were collected before endoscopy and 6 months later. All minipigs underwent transabdominal biliary ultrasonography for the diagnosis of cholelithiasis 6 months after endoscopy. The biliary microbiota composition and alpha and beta diversity were analyzed by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. Differential metabolites were analyzed by bile acid metabolomics to explore the predictive indicators of cholelithiasis. RESULTS: Three minipigs were diagnosed with cholelithiasis in the EST group, while none in the ECPP group showed cholelithiasis. The biliary Firmicutes/Bacteroidota (F/B) ratio was increased after EST and decreased after ECPP. The Chao1 and observed species index significantly decreased 6 months after EST ( P  = 0.017 and 0.018, respectively); however, the biliary α-diversity was similar before and 6 months after ECPP. The β-diversity significantly differed in the EST group before and 6 months after EST, as well as in the ECPP group before and 6 months after ECPP (analysis of similarities [ANOSIM]: R  = 0.917, P  = 0.040; R  = 0.740, P  = 0.035; respectively). Glycolithocholic acid (GLCA) and taurolithocholic acid (TLCA) accumulated in bile 6 months after EST. CONCLUSIONS ECPP has less impact on the biliary microenvironment than EST and prevents duodenobiliary reflux by repairing the sphincter of Oddi. The bile levels of GLCA and TLCA may be used to predict the risk of cholelithiasis.

Most cancers are currently incurable, partly due to abnormal post-translational modifications (PTMs). In this study, we initially used multiple myeloma (MM) as a working model and found that SUMOylation activating enzyme subunit 1 (SAE1) promotes the malignancy of MM. Through proteome microarray analysis, SAE1 was identified as a potential target for bioactive colcemid or its derivative colchicine. Elevated levels of SAE1 were associated with poor clinical survival and increased MM proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, SAE1 directly SUMOylated and upregulated the total protein expression of p27, leading to LLPS-mediated nuclear export of p27. Our study also demonstrated the involvement of SAE1 in other types of cancer cells, and provided the first monomer crystal structure of SAE1 and its key binding model with colchicine. Colchicine also showed promising results in the Patient-Derived Tumor Xenograft (PDX) model. Furthermore, a controlled clinical trial with 56 MM patients demonstrated the clinical efficacy of colchicine. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism by which tumor cells evade p27-induced cellular growth arrest through p27 SUMOylation-mediated nuclear export. SAE1 may serve as a promising therapeutic target, and colchicine may be a potential treatment option for multiple types of cancer in clinical settings.

Objective To analyze the domestic antibody drug safety and risk research status,the latest research hotspots and frontiers in the current ten years.Methods CiteSpace 6.2.R2 software was used to analyze all literature related to the safety and risk of antibody drugs in CNKI,WanFang data and Vip database from 2012 to 2022.Results A total of 2 773 pieces of literature were obtained from the three databases,which were imported into CiteSpace after deduplication,and finally,1 870 pieces were included in the analysis.In the past decade,the number of articles published in the field of antibody drugs safety and risk research has remained at about 100 articles per year from 2012 to 2019,since 2020,the number of articles published has started to increase,and the annual number of articles published has increased to around 300 articles from 2021 to 2022.The network graph of domestic institutional cooperation showed that there was a lack of cooperation among the research institutions of antibody drug safety and risk research,mainly due to the fact that hospitals were conducting research in this field,and the types of research subjects were relatively single.The author collaboration network graph showed that the core teams in this research field,such as Li Bo,Yang Yanwei,and Lin Zhi,had the closest collaboration,while there was less collaboration among high-yield authors,additionally,some experts and scholars conducted research on their own as individuals or small groups,the research focused on adverse reactions,safety,bevacizumab,Rituximab,Meta-analysis,etc.Conclusion In the past decade,domestic research has mainly focused on the clinical efficacy and safety of antibody drugs,with few scholars exploring the risk of antibody drugs,therefore,in the future,it is necessary to pay attention to the research on the risks of antibody drugs.

Objective To observe the ultrasonic manifestations and possible etiology of fetal tricuspid regurgitation(TR).Methods Totally 717 fetuses diagnosed with TR by prenatal ultrasound were retrospectively enrolled,and the prenatal ultrasonic findings were observed.Based on postpartum follow-up data,the fetuses were divided into physiological TR group(n=468)and pathological TR group(n=249),and those in the latter were further divided into right heart preload increase subgroup(n=76),right heart afterload increase subgroup(n=127)and tricuspid valve structure abnormality subgroup(n=46)according to the possible etiology,and the ultrasonic manifestations were comparatively analyzed.Results In physiological TR group,mild and moderate TR was found in 441(441/468,94.23％)and 27 fetuses(27/468,5.77％),respectively,while no severe TR was noticed.In pathological TR group,significant difference of TR degrees was found among 3 subgroups(x2=37.244,P＜0.001).Mild TR was more common in right heart preload increase subgroup,while moderate and severe TR were more common in the other 2 subgroups.In right heart preload increase subgroup,fetuses with persistent left superior vena cava were more likely to develop mild TR,while those with intact interventricular septum and pulmonary artery occlusion were more likely to develop severe TR in right heart afterload increase subgroup(both P＜0.05).No significant difference of TR degree was found among fetuses with different possible etiology in right heart preload increase subgroup nor right heart afterload increase subgroup(both P＞0.05).In tricuspid valve structure abnormality subgroup,significant differences of TR degrees were found among fetuses with different possible etiologies(P＜0.05),and fetuses with underdeveloped tricuspid valve were more prone to severe reflux(P＜0.05).There were significant differences of reflux velocity of moderate and severe TR among 3 subgroups(F=6.945,P=0.002).Conclusion Fetal TR was mostly physiological.The possible etiologies of pathological TR were variable,including pulmonary valve stenosis,persistent left superior vena cava and tricuspid valve hypoplasia,with different prenatal ultrasonic manifestations.

Objective:To study the clinical application and complications of umbilical arterial catheterization (UAC) in premature infants.Methods:From January 2021 to December 2022, premature infants with UAC successfully inserted in NICU of our hospital were enrolled. According to birth weight (BW), the infants were assigned into three groups: <1 000 g, 1 000~1 499 g and ≥1 500 g. The perinatal data, UAC usage, UAC-related complications and risk factors of UAC-related complications were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 39 premature infants received UAC, with gestational age 29.3(27.3, 30.4) weeks and BW 1 100 (900, 1 310) g. The insertion length (IL) of UAC was calculated using the average value of two formulas: a, IL (cm) =4×BW (kg) +7; and b, IL(cm) =3×BW (kg)+9. The accuracy of tube end position was determined using chest/abdomen radiography. 30(76.9%) cases had accurate position, 6(15.4%) had higher position and 3(7.7%) had lower position. The proportion of appropriately positioned tube end in <1 000 g, 1 000~1 499 g and ≥1 500 g groups were 80.0%, 76.5% and 71.4%, respectively, without statistically significant differences ( P>0.05) .No significant differences existed among the three groups in UAC duration and UAC routinely removal rate ( P>0.05). 9 cases (23.1%) of UAC were removed for specific reasons, including 4 cases of arterial spasm, 2 cases of withdrawal of treatment, 1 case of tube end displacement, 1 case of abdominal distension and 1 case of death. 21 cases received 1 U/ml heparin (0.9%NaCl solution) 0.5~1 ml/h arterial infusion. 23.8% (5/21) had hypernatremia and the level of sodium became normal after reducing the concentration of NaCl solution. Arterial vasospasm occurred in 4 patients with skin color changes of one side of the lower extremities. After UAC removal, the skin color returned to normal. Conclusions:UAC is helpful and safe for preterm infants, however, its complications should be alerted to.

Objective:To study the current status of longitudinal extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) in extremely preterm infants (EPIs) and to develop a prediction model based on clinical data from multiple NICUs.Methods:From January 2017 to December 2018, EPIs admitted to 32 NICUs in North China were retrospectively studied. Their general conditions, nutritional support, complications during hospitalization and weight changes were reviewed. Weight loss between birth and discharge > 1SD was defined as longitudinal EUGR. The EPIs were assigned into longitudinal EUGR group and non-EUGR group and their nutritional support and weight changes were compared. The EPIs were randomly assigned into the training dataset and the validation dataset with a ratio of 7∶3. Univariate Cox regression analysis and multiple regression analysis were used in the training dataset to select the independent predictive factors. The best-fitting Nomogram model predicting longitudinal EUGR was established based on Akaike Information Criterion. The model was evaluated for discrimination efficacy, calibration and clinical decision curve analysis.Results:A total of 436 EPIs were included in this study, with a mean gestational age of (26.9±0.9) weeks and a birth weight of (989±171) g. The incidence of longitudinal EUGR was 82.3%(359/436). Seven variables (birth weight Z-score, weight loss, weight growth velocity, the proportion of breast milk ≥75% within 3 d before discharge, invasive mechanical ventilation ≥7 d, maternal antenatal corticosteroids use and bronchopulmonary dysplasia) were selected to establish the prediction model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the training dataset and the validation dataset were 0.870 (95% CI 0.820-0.920) and 0.879 (95% CI 0.815-0.942), suggesting good discrimination efficacy. The calibration curve indicated a good fit of the model ( P>0.05). The decision curve analysis showed positive net benefits at all thresholds. Conclusions:Currently, EPIs have a high incidence of longitudinal EUGR. The prediction model is helpful for early identification and intervention for EPIs with higher risks of longitudinal EUGR. It is necessary to expand the sample size and conduct prospective studies to optimize and validate the prediction model in the future.

ObjectiveTo investigate a suspected outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii （CRAB） nosocomial infection in an intensive care unit （ICU） and provide scientific evidence for prevention and control of multi-drug resistant nosocomial infection. MethodsClinical and epidemiological data of 4 patients with CRAB infection were retrospectively investigated in the ICU of Renji Hospital in November 2021. Environmental hygiene monitoring and multilocus sequence typing （MLST） were conducted and intervention measures were taken. ResultsA total of 4 cases with CRAB infection were identified， among which 1 case was determined to be community-acquired and3 cases were hospital-acquired. The isolated strains shared the same drug resistance， and were all classified into ST368 type. In the surface and hand samples （n=40）， 2 CRAB strains were detected in the air filter beside the bed of the first case， with a detection rate of 5%. After adopting comprehensive prevention and control strategies， including environmental cleaning and disinfection， hand hygiene， staff management and training， and supervision， no similar case with CRAB infection was found. ConclusionThis suspected outbreak of CRAB nosocomial infection may be induced by inadequate environmental cleaning and disinfection， and inadequate implementation of hand hygiene. Timely identification， investigation， and targeted measures remain crucial to effective control of possible nosocomial infection.

ObjectiveTo understand the use of antibiotics in inpatients and the incidence and trend of hospital infections， to explore the implementation effect of comprehensive management measures， and to provide reference for hospitals to use antibiotics reasonably. MethodsBased on the hospital infection monitoring and management system， a retrospective analysis and comparison were conducted on the use of antibiotics， submission of microbial test samples， and incidence of hospital infections among inpatients in a tertiary hospital from 2012 to 2021. ResultsFrom 2012 to 2021， the use of antibiotics showed a downward trend， from 50.82% in 2012 to 41.29% in 2021. At the same time， the use rate of restricted and special antibiotics had also decreased， and the use rate of restricted and special antibiotics in patients without hospital infection was significantly lower than that in patients with hospital infection， and the microbial testing rate was also on the rise. The annual incidence rate of hospital infection was 0.69%‒1.92%， and the annual case-time prevalence rate was 0.79%‒2.17%. The annual average rate of the above two in 10 years was 1.18% and 1.34%， respectively. The results of the exponential smoothing model also showed that the utilization rate of antibiotics was decreasing and the incidence of nosocomial infection was stable. ConclusionLarge general hospitals took comprehensive management measures to strengthen the management of rational use of antibiotics， which led to a decline in the use rate of antibacterial drugs for inpatients and an increase in the rate of microbial examination. At the same time， the overall incidence of hospital infection was relatively stable， suggesting that the comprehensive management measures of antibacterial drugs in hospitals had achieved certain results. The current measures need to be optimized in the future to continuously improve the management level of rational use of antibacterial drugs.
