OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of doxycycline in the treatment of macrolide-unresponsive Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia （MUMPP） in children under 8 years of age. METHODS The medical records of children with MUMPP admitted to the Women and Children’s Hospital Affiliated to Ningbo University were collected from January 1st， 2023 to December 31st， 2023. They were divided into doxycycline group （44 cases）， doxycycline combined with methylprednisolone group （35 cases）， and azithromycin combined with methylprednisolone group （35 cases） according to the treatment methods. Doxycycline group was given Doxycycline hyclate enteric-coated capsules； doxycycline combined with methylprednisolone group was given Doxycycline hyclate enteric-coated capsules and Methylprednisolone sodium succinate for injection； azithromycin combined with methylprednisolone group was given Azithromycin for injection and Methylprednisolone sodium succinate for injection. Treatment courses of 3 groups lasted for 10 d. The fever reduction rate， the time of fever reduction and improvement rate of lung infection absorption were compared among the three groups. The occurrence of adverse drug reactions was recorded during their hospitalization and followed up within 5 months after discharge. RESULTS The fever reduction rats 48， 72 h after treatment and improvement rate of lung infection absorption in doxycycline group and doxycycline combined with methylprednisolone group were significantly higher than azithromycin combined with methylprednisolone group； the time of fever reduction was significantly shorter than azithromycin combined with methylprednisolone group （P＜0.05）； there was no statistical significance in the difference between the doxycycline group and the doxycycline combined with methylprednisolone group （P＞0.05）. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of rash， vomiting， abdominal pain， diarrhea， and elevated transaminases among the three groups during hospitalization and within 5 months after discharge （P＞0.05）. None of the children treated with doxycycline suffered from tooth discoloration or enamel hypoplasia. CONCLUSIONS Doxycycline has good efficacy and safety in therapy of MUMPP in children under 8 years of age； adjunctive coadministration of low-dose glucocorticoids does not necessarily result in significant additional efficacy.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of Scleromitrion diffusum on gastric mucosal epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in rats with gastric precancerous lesion. METHODS: Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into blank control group (n=11), model control group (n=13), Scleromitrion diffusum (SD) group (n=13) and vitase group (n=13). Gastric precancerous lesion animal model was prepared by 1-methyl-3-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidine complex polyfactor method, and the drugs were administrated by gavage once a day for 6 weeks. The pathological changes of gastric mucosa were observed with hematoxylin and eosin staining, the expression of EMT marker proteins were detected with immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting. RESULTS: Compared with the model control group, the gastric mucosal injury was significantly attenuated in the Scleromitrion diffusum group, the mucosal tissue structure gradually recovered, the saccular expansion area was reduced, and the inflammatory infiltration was ameliorated. The expression of epithelial cadherin was higher, and the expression of neural cadherin and vimentin in the Scleromitrion diffusum group were lower than those of model control group (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Scleromitrion diffusum can ameliorate gastric mucosal injury in rats with gastric precancerous lesion by reversing the EMT.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-negative bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of national bloodstream infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period，9 035 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 51 hospitals，of which 7 895（87.4%）were Enterobacteriaceae and 1 140（12.6%）were non-fermenting bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli（ n=4 510，49.9%）， Klebsiella pneumoniae（ n=2 340，25.9%）， Pseudomonas aeruginosa（ n=534，5.9%）， Acinetobacter baumannii complex（ n=405，4.5%）and Enterobacter cloacae（ n=327，3.6%）. The ESBLs-producing rates in Escherichia coli， Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus spp. were 47.1%（2 095/4 452），21.0%（427/2 033）and 41.1%（58/141），respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli（CREC）and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae（CRKP）were 1.3%（58/4 510）and 13.1%（307/2 340）；62.1%（36/58）and 9.8%（30/307）of CREC and CRKP were resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam combination，respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii（CRAB）complex was 59.5%（241/405），while less than 5% of Acinetobacter baumannii complex was resistant to tigecycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa（CRPA）was 18.4%（98/534）. There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of main Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions，with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CRKP and CRPA（ χ2=20.489 and 20.252， P<0.001）. The prevalence of CREC，CRKP，CRPA，CRAB，ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were higher in provinicial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=11.953，81.183，10.404，5.915，12.415 and 6.459， P<0.01 or <0.05），while the prevalence of CRPA was higher in economically developed regions（per capita GDP ≥ 92 059 Yuan）than that in economically less-developed regions（per capita GDP <92 059 Yuan）（ χ2=6.240， P=0.012）. Conclusions:The proportion of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections shows an increasing trend，and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top，while the trend of CRKP decreases continuously with time. Decreasing trends are noted in ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Low prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Escherichia coli and high prevalence in CRAB complex have been observed. The composition ratio and antibacterial spectrum of bloodstream infections in different regions of China are slightly different，and the proportion of main drug resistant bacteria in provincial hospitals is higher than those in municipal hospitals.

Objective To construct an NZB/W(F1)mouse model of systemic lupus erythematosus and evaluate the effects of nicotinamide on each index of lupus nephritis pathogenesis of NZB/W(F1)mice in order to provide data for research on the role of nicotinamide in the treatment of lupus nephritis.Methods Female NZB/W(F1)mice were obtained by crossing male NZW mice with female NZB ones.Urine samples were collected using metabolic cages and proteinuria test strips were used to detect proteinuria.Blood samples were collected through the orbital venous plexus in mice.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the level of anti-dsDNA antibody.Levels of serum creatinine and urea nitrogen and liver function indexes were detected using an automatic blood analyzer.Hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunofluorescence technique were used to detect the pathological state of the kidney.Results The levels of proteinuria,double-stranded DNA antibodies,serum creatinine,and urea nitrogen were gradually increased during the natural course of the disease in female NZB/W(F1)mice,indicating that the lupus nephritis disease model was constructed in female NZB/W(F1)mice.Compared to the control group,nicotinamide feeding could obviously decrease the level of proteinuria(P=0.0070),inhibit the production of double-stranded DNA antibodies(P=0.0325),and retard the progression of serum creatinine(P=0.0067)and urea nitrogen indexes(P=0.0166)in serum.In addition,the pathological state of the kidney in the nicotinamide feeding group was significantly alleviated compared with the control group.Conclusion A lupus nephritis disease model is constructed in NZB/W(F1)mice.Nicotinamide feeding can obviously alleviate the disease state of lupus nephritis in NZB/W(F1)mice.

Based on the service of stranded patients in D Hospital, this study aimed to explore the multiple needs of stranded patients and construct an intervention mode from the ecosystem perspective. Using the method of case study, taking the service of stranded patients in hospital D as an example, 49 case records and verbatim interviews with stakeholders were analyzed. The discharge and resettlement of stranded patients faces multiple obstacles from individuals, families, medical and social systems. This study constructed the social work intervention model from the ecosystem perspective: information collection and needs assessment, empowerment of individual system, reconstruction of family support system, coordination of medical system and linking social support system. The intervention process achieved efficient effects. Social work intervention of stranded patients should pay attention to patients’ psychosocial needs and improve awareness of system difficulties; mobilize the multi-system support network and deliver services in combination with case management method; conduct social advocacy for the breakthrough of law and policy.

Objective:To explore the long-term therapeutic efficacy and outcomes of liver transplantation for patients with hepatic myelopathy (HM).Methods:Retrospective analysis of 24 adult liver transplantation recipients due to HM at First Central Municipal Hospital from January 2006 to October 2022. HM was extensively classified by the severity of lower extremity symptoms, degree of muscle stiffness, capability for independent ambulation and muscle strength. Furthermore, their long-term outcomes were examined. From January 2000 to October 2022, the databases of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , Google Scholar, PubMed and Web of Science were searched with such keywords as "肝性脊髓病and肝移植" "Hepatic Myelopathy and Liver Transplantation" .Results:After liver transplantation, liver functions and blood ammonia normalized and most clinical symptoms improved. During a follow-up period of (12-190) months, 19 patients showed a lowered grade of HC as compared to pre-transplantation. Four cases achieved a complete recovery of extremity function. No change occurred in severity grade for the remaining 5 patients. However, 4 of them experienced varying degrees of improvement in muscle strength and independent walking capability. This review summarized the clinical characteristics and clinical outcomes of 17 patients from both domestic and international sources. Most of them experiences varying degrees of symptomatic improvements after liver transplantation (16 cases).Conclusions:This study has confirmed the effectiveness of liver transplantation for HM and its contribution to the long-term patient recovery.

Objective:To define the definition and connotation of nursing shame by using Walker-Avant classical conceptual analysis.Methods:Literature was systematically searched from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science, Wiley Online Library, ScienceDirect and CINAHL, and articles were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on Walker-Avant classical conceptual analysis, the concept of nursing shame was analyzed from the aspects of defining attribute, antecedent factors and post factors.Results:The three defining attributes of nursing shame included negative self-evaluation, avoidance and withdrawal and self-breakthrough. Antecedent factors included non-compliance with self-expectations and clinical bullying. Post-effects included physical and mental impairment and departure of nurses, increased patient burden and hindered expression. However, nursing shame could also be positive by cultivating shame resilience and become a psychological motivation for nurses to reflect and adjust themselves.Conclusions:The conceptual attribute of nursing shame is clarified through conceptual analysis, which lays a theoretical foundation for the future development or localization of targeted measurement tools to effectively identify and deal with nursing shame.
