Objective　To explore the clinical characteristics and drug resistance of Elizabethkingia meningoseptica (EM) nosocomial infection, so as to provide evidence for prevention of EM nosocomial infection and guiding the rational use of antibiotics. Methods　A retrospective study was conducted of 67 patients with EM infection in a tertiary hospital from January 2021 to December 2022. The infective characteristics and drug resistance were analyzed. Results　The cohort of 67 EM-infected patients was predominantly males aged ≥60 years, with the most frequent source being the first district of the intensive care unit (ICU), followed by the respiratory medicine and emergency department (19.40%, 13/67). The specimens were mainly isolated from respiratory tract (86.57%, 58/67), of which sputum accounted for 49.25% (33/67), and alveolar lavage fluid accounted for 37.31% (25/67). The majority of EM infections occurred in patients with pre-existing respiratory conditions (49.25%, 33/67), who generally experienced prolonged hospital stays and underwent invasive procedures, such as mechanical ventilation 94.03% (63/67), urinary catheterization (95.52%, 64/67), and central venous catheterization (97.01%, 65/67). Post-treatment, the improved rate of the 67 patients was 40.30% (27/67). Susceptibility testing demonstrated a high resistance rate of EM to cefoperazone-sulbactam, 98.39% (61/62), contrasted by significant susceptibility to compound trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX)/cotrimoxazole, doxycycline, minocycline, and piperacillin-tazobactam, with susceptibility rates exceeding 90%. Conclusions　The patients infected with EM were almost elderly men with certain underlying diseases, experienced prolonged hospital stays, and had a history of invasive operations. The specimens of EM were mainly from Intensive Care Unit and isolated from respiratory tract. The strain showed high resistance to cefoperazone-sulbactam, whereas it remained highly susceptible to cotrimoxazole, doxycycline, minocycline and piperacillin-tazobactam, which may be considered as first-line treatment options.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of immunoneoadjuvant therapy with pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy in locally advanced resectable hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma patients.Methods:This study was a prospective, single arm, single center clinical study that was opened for enrollment in April 2021. Patients who met the inclusion criteria at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were treated with neoadjuvant therapy of pembrolizumab combined with cisplatin and paclitaxel, and after treatments, received surgery and postoperative adjuvant therapy. The main endpoint of this study was postoperative pathological complete response (pCR), and other observations included adverse reactions and long-term prognoses of patients after neoadjuvant therapy.Results:By September 2023, a total of 23 patients who underwent neoadjuvant therapy and surgery were enrolled in the study and all patients were males aged 49-74 years. All patients were locally advanced stage, including 3 patients in stage Ⅲ and 20 patients in stage Ⅳ. There were 12 cases of primary lesions with posterior ring involvement accompanied by fixation of one vocal cord and 20 cases of regional lymph node metastases classified as N2. Eighteen cases received a two cycle regimen and 5 cases received a three cycle regimen for neoadjuvant therapy. The postoperative pCR rate was 26.1% (6/23), with no surgical delay caused by adverse drug reactions. The laryngeal preservation rate was 87.0% (20/23). Pharyngeal fistula was the main surgical complication, with an incidence of 21.7% (5/23). The median follow-up time was 15 months, and 3 patients experienced local recurrence.Conclusions:The immunoneoadjuvant therapy of pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy has a high pCR rate in locally advanced resectable hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, with increased laryngeal preservation rate and no significant impact on surgical safety.

Objective:To analyze the survival of 451 hospitalized patients with gallbladder cancer from Nantong Tumor Hospital,and provide evidence for prognosis evaluation and comprehensive prevention and treatment of gallbladder cancer. Methods:A combination of active and passive follow-up methods were used to trace the survival outcomes of patients with gallbladder cancer hospitalized in Nantong Tumor Hospital from 2007 to 2017.The gender and age distribution,as well as the trend in the change of the number of patients over time was statistically analyzed.Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the survival rate of the patients,and Log-rank test was used to compare the difference in the survival rate of patients with different gender,age,TNM staging and time period of hospitalization. Results:A total of 451 hospitalized patients with gallbladder cancer from 6 counties/districts in Nantong area from 2007 to 201 7 were included in this study.Cancer survival outcomes of 449 patients were obtained through follow-up,with a success rate of 99.56％.Among them,218 were male and 233 were female,and the average age at the initial hospitalization was(64.78±11.44)years,with a median age of 67 years.The majority of the patients were aged 60-79 years old,accounting for 60.75％(274 cases)of the patients.The 1-,3-,and 5-year observed survival rates of all patients were 34.59％,15.30％,and 10.25％,respectively.The 5-year survival rates of male and female patients were 7.75％and 12.47％respectively,with no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The 5-year survival rates of patients in the age groups of 0-34 years,35-59 years,60-79 years,and ≥80 years were 25.00％,14.53％,8.66％,and 2.94％,respectively,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.01).The 5-year survival rates stratified by TNM stage were 27.78％,20.83％,13.44％,3.48％and 11.11％,for stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ,and unclassified,respectively,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.001).The 5-year survival rates of patients with gallbladder cancer hospitalized from 2007 to 2011 and from 2012 to 2017 were 10.81％and 9.99％,respectively,with no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05). Conclusion:Patients with gallbladder cancer in Nantong from 2007 to 2017 were mainly middle-aged people and elderlies,and the survival rates of these patients significantly decreased with increasing age,with no significant difference observed in different gender groups,indicating the need to strengthen the research for comprehensive prevention and treatment for middle-aged and elderly patients to improve their prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of combination treatment with montelukast sodium, budesonide and formoterol in the treatment of bronchial asthma in adults and its effects on cytokines.Methods:A total of 100 adult patients with bronchial asthma who received treatment in The First People's Hospital of Yongkang from January 2019 to December 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive either budesonide inhalation alone (control group, n = 50) or combination inhalation of montelukast sodium, budesonide and formoterol (observation group, n = 50) for 12 weeks. Efficacy was compared between the two groups. Lung function [forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1), peak expiratory flow (PEF) and FEV 1/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio], cytokines [interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-6], Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) score, and Asthma Control Test (ACT) score measured before and 12 weeks after treatment were compared between the two groups. Results:Total response rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [92.00% (46/50) vs. 72.00% (36/50), χ2 = 6.77, P < 0.05). After 12 weeks of treatment, FEV 1, PEF and FEV1/FVC in the observation group were (2.17 ± 0.23) L, (246.56 ± 17.86) L/s, and (83.86 ± 3.98)%, respectively, which were significantly higher than (1.86 ± 0.17) L, (203.12 ± 20.10) L/s, (74.82 ± 5.67)% in the control group ( t = 7.66, 11.42, 9.22, P < 0.05). Serum IL-2 level in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(10.85 ± 0.86) ng/L vs. (8.94 ± 1.03) ng/L, t = 10.06, t < 0.05]. Serum IL-4 and IL-6 in the observation group were (24.98 ± 3.08) ng/L and (98.46 ± 9.76) μg/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than (36.75 ± 4.34) ng/L and (125.84 ± 13.19) μg/L in the control group ( t =15.63, 11.79, both P < 0.05). AQLQ score and ACT score in the observation group were (121.03 ± 8.69) points and (22.08 ± 1.35) points, respectively, which were significantly higher than (110.93 ± 7.86) points and (19.74 ± 1.76) points in the control group ( t = 6.095, 7.460, both P < 0.05). Conclusion:Inhalation therapy with montelukast sodium, budesonide and formoterol produces obvious therapeutic effects on bronchial asthma in adult patients and the combined therapy can reduce inflammatory reactions.

Objective:To analyze the survival rate of malignant tumor in the elderly over 60 years old in Qidong city from 1972 to 2016, and to provide basis for prognosis evaluation and prevention.Methods:Based on the data of 66 386 patients with malignant tumor in the elderly over 60 years old in the Qidong cancer registration and reporting system, the survival outcome was tracked by the method of active follow-up and passive follow-up.All of these data were then analyzed by stratification of sex, age, tumor site and hospital level.Results:During the period of 1972 to 2016, the total number of patients with malignant tumors in the elderly were 66 386 cases, accounting for 56.66% of patients in all age groups.The observed survival rate(OSR)of 5 and 10 years were 14.52% and 9.53% and relative survival rate(RSR)of 5 and 10 years were 19.76% and 18.92%, respectively, in the elderly in Qidong.The 5-year RSR was 16.98% for males and 23.91% for females, being a statistically significant( χ2=339.83, P<0.001). The 5-year RSRs of elderly patients in males and females increased from 7.53% and 15.83% in 1972-1976 to 28.06% and 39.01% in 2012-2016, respectively.The 5-year RSR of 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80-84 and 85 years old and over were 22.84%, 20.53%, 17.74%, 18.30%, 18.02% and 14.06%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference( χ2=694.27, P<0.001). Among the top 10 major malignancies, the ranks of 5-year RSR from high to low were breast cancer, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, colorectal cancer, malignant lymphoma, gastric cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer, lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer, respectively.A comparison between 2002--2016 and 1972--1986 showed that the increased rank of absolute values of RSR from highest to lowest were prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, female breast cancer, bladder cancer, gastric cancer, malignant lymphoma, liver cancer, esophageal cancer, lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer, respectively.The 5-year RSR of patients diagnosed in the district / township hospitals, county hospitals, city-level 3A hospitals and provincial-level 3A hospitals were 13.97%, 23.71%, 26.12% and 28.55%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference( χ2=841.93, P<0.001). In the 45 years, the average annual percentage change(AAPC)ratio of 5-year OSR was 3.88%( t=6.75, P<0.001), and the 5-year RSR was 3.69%( t=7.44, P=0.001); the AAPC of the 5-year RSR was 3.91%( t=9.66, P<0.001)in males and 3.42%( t=6.08, P=0.001)in females.The AAPC ratio of 5-year RSR in each age group were 4.08% for 60-64 years, 4.18% for 65-69 years, 3.91% for 70-74 years, 3.12% for 75-79 years, 3.81% for 80-84 years, 0.51% for 85 years old and over, respectively.Except for age group of 85 years old and over( P=0.615), significant rising trends were observed in all age groups( P<0.01). Conclusions:Malignant tumors in the elderly have become the major cancer burden in Qidong, and there are significant gender and age differences.The overall survival rate in elderly patients with malignant tumors has been significantly improved in the past 45 years, which may be related to the improvement in the level of diagnosis and treatment and the service capacity of hospitals.

Objective:To explore a fast method to identify and confirm suspected clonorchis sinensis infection.Methods:For suspected clonorchis sinensis infection, the clonorchiasis serum antibody was detected first with ELISA. If the antibody was positive, the fecal examination for eggs was performed. If the fecal examination was negative, duodenal drainage under gastroscopy was recommended to detect eggs from the drainage fluid.Results:A total of 126 patients met the requirements and aged 54.14±13.33 (24- 87). There were 83 cases (65.87%, 83/126) with eggs positive in the drainage fluid, of which 53 cases were male, aged 55.91±11.47 (30-86), and 30 cases female, aged 55.87± 13.85(30-87). There was no significant difference in age between males and females( P>0.05). The time of catheterization (T1) of 126 cases was 3.79 ±1.45 min. The time of drainage (T2) of 126 cases was 31.39 ±14.29 min. There was no significant difference in T1 or T2 between the positive group and the negative group( P>0.05). The detection rates of eggs were 91.57% (76 cases) in intrahepatic bile duct drainage, 81.93% (68 cases) in the bile-cyst juice and 75.90% (63 cases) in the common bile duct fluid. No serious adverse reactions occurred during or after the operation. Conclusion:The detection rate of clonorchiosis sinensis can be effectively improved by the combination of clonorchiasis serum antibody test and gastroscopy-guided duodenal drainage.

Objective To observe the effects of Siweiyuganzi prescription on anti-peroxidation and blood lipid levels in experimental rats with hyperlipidemia. Methods Sixty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into normal control group, hyperlipidemia model group, Xuezhikang group, Siweiyuganzi prescription large, medium and small dose group according to the random number table method, with 10 rats in each group. The hyperlipidemia rat model was established by intragastric feeding with high fat emulsion everyday 10 mL·kg-1·d-1; normal saline 10 mL/kg was given to the normal control group, twice a day by intragastric feeding; 3 dosages of Siweiyuganzi suspended fluid 12.8, 6.4, 4.3 g·kg-1·d-1 intragastric administrations were given to Siweiyuganzi prescription large, medium and small dose groups respectively; Xuezhikang suspended fluid 0.3 g·kg-1·d-1 was given to Xuezhikang group intragastrically;the same volume of normal saline was given to hyperlipidemia model group. After 4 weeks, the level changes of blood lipid, serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), malonaldehyde (MDA), hydroxymethylglutaryl Coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) were observed. Results Compared to those in the normal control group, the levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), MDA, content and positive expression of HMG-CoA, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were all higher in hyperlipidemia model group [TG (mmol/L): 6.59±0.72 vs. 4.32±0.36, TC (mmol/L): 7.10±0.25 vs. 5.98±0.40, LDL-C (mmol/L): 4.18±1.30 vs. 2.33±0.35, MDA (μmol/L): 26.05± 5.99 vs. 10.08±1.98, HMG-CoA content (ng/L): 54.60±2.90 vs. 48.73±3.09, HMG-CoA positive expression in liver tissue:(57.80±12.30)% vs. (22.00±4.92)%, ALT (U/L): 106.83±15.75 vs. 81.97±13.18]; SOD and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in hyperlipidemia model group were significantly decreased [SOD (kU/L): 295.47±37.51 vs. 345.13±19.76, HDL-C (mmol/L): 2.32±0.49 vs. 4.84±0.45, both P < 0.05]. Compared with the hyperlipidemia model group, the TG, TC, LDL-C, MDA, contents and positive expression of HMG-CoA in each group were significantly reduced, and the SOD and HDL-C were obviously increased, and the changes in the Siweiyuganzi high dose group were more significant than those of the Siweiyuganzi middle-and low-dose groups [TG (mmol/L): 4.70±0.46 vs. 5.40±0.31, 5.70±0.41, TC (mmol/L): 5.80±0.23 vs. 6.14±0.20, 6.56±0.32, LDL-C (mmol/L): 2.56±0.45 vs. 2.93±0.33, 3.28±0.32, HDL-C (mmol/L): 4.58±0.28 vs. 3.89±0.30, 3.59±0.08, SOD (kU/L): 381.45±20.68 vs. 360.60±30.16, 325.49±32.13, MDA (μmol/L): 16.98±5.39 vs. 17.89±5.37, 21.03±6.01, HMG-CoA content (ng/L): 50.58±0.77 vs. 52.16±0.66, 52.90±0.91, HMG-CoA positive expression in liver tissue: (27.90±6.03)% vs. (32.20±7.00)%, (43.00±8.39)%, all P < 0.05]. In the normal control group, there were positive cells scattered in the central vein area and loosely distributed around the portal area in the rat liver; in the hyperlipidemia model group, the positive cells were increased in the central vein area and the cells in relatively great number were seen around the portal area. While the positive cells in Xuezhikang group and in the high, medium and low dose Siweiyuganzi groups were decreased. Conclusion Siweiyuganzi prescription can regulate the levels of blood lipids, prevent and treat the lipid peroxidation caused by hyperlipidemia, and inhibit excessive expression of HMG-CoA in experimental rats with hyperlipidemia.
