Objective To objectively evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of acupuncture in regulating the mood of patients with post-stroke depression(PSD)and explore the possible target of acupuncture intervention.Methods 76 patients with PSD were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.The control group was treated with routine treatment measures for stroke,and the treatment group was treated with acupuncture on this basis.The main acupoints were Shangxing,Baihui,Shenting,Fengchi and Dugu,supplemented by acupuncture on Taichong,Hegu,Quchi,Neiguan,Yanglingquan,Zusanli and Taixi,5 times a week,continuously treated for 4 weeks,followed up on the 90th day after treatment.The levels of serum 5-hydroxytryptamine,norepinephrine and intestinal microflora before and after treatment were compared with the 17 Hamilton Depression Scale scores(HAMD),modified Barthel Index(MBI),and the levels of serum 5-hydroxytryptamine and norepinephrine before and after treatment.Results The HAMD score and MBI index of the two groups after treatment and follow-up were lower than those before treatment.The levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine and norepinephrine in the treatment group after treatment were higher than those before treatment(P<0.01),and significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.01).After acupuncture,the dominant bacterial groups of Bacteroides,Thick-wall bacteria and Broughter bacteria in patients showed an upward trend(P>0.05).The difference of bacteria before and after treatment was mainly concentrated in signal pathways such as ECM-receptor interaction,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).Conclusion Acupuncture can help patients improve their ability of daily living,and also improve the relative abundance of intestinal flora in PSD patients to a certain extent,so as to regulate the levels of 5-HT and NE to relieve the depression of patients,which is worthy of promotion in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the distribution characteristics of urinary tract pathogens in patients with community-acquired urinary tract infection and their sensitivity to nenoxacin and levofloxacin.Methods:This prospective, multicenter clinical trial included patients with community-acquired urinary tract infection who were admitted to urological clinics at 9 clinical research centers from November 2021 to August 2022.Inclusion criteria: Patients aged 18-70 years with community-acquired acute uncomplicated cystitis(AUC), recurrent acute episodes of urinary tract infection(rUTI), and non-febrile complicated urinary tract infection(cUTI) with signs of urinary tract irritation and abnormal elevation of routine white blood cells in urine. Exclusion criteria: ①Patients who received effective antimicrobial therapy within 72 h before enrollment and lasted for more than 24 h. ②Fever (>37.3℃) or symptoms of upper urinary tract infection such as low back pain, tapping pain in the kidney area, etc. ③Indwelling urinary catheter. At the first visit, clean midstream urine samples were taken for bacterial culture, and the distribution characteristics of urinary pathogens of different types of urinary tract infections were analyzed. Extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) were measured for Gram-negative bacteria. The susceptibility of nenoxacin and levofloxacin to urinary tract pathogens was determined by disk diffusion method. Drug resistance rate, sensitivity rate were analyzed between different disease groups.Results:There were 404 enrolled patients from 9 hospitals, including 364 (90.1%) females and 40 (9.9%) males. A total of 177 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated, among which the highest proportion of Escherichia coli was 66.1% (117/177).Klebsiella pneumoniae was followed by 6.8% (12/177) and Streptococcus agalactis 5.1% (9/177). The bacterial spectrum distribution of AUC and rUTI were similar, and the proportions of Escherichia coli were 70.6% (85/119) and 65.9% (29/44), respectively. However, the proportions of Escherichia coli isolated from cUTI patients were only 28.6% (4/14) and Enterococcus faecalis 7.1%(1/14). The overall detection rate of ESBLs in Gram-negative bacteria was 30.9%(43/139). The sensitivity rate of nenoxacin was 74.6%(91/122), and the resistance rate was 25.4%(31/122). The overall sensitivity rate of levofloxacin was 44.9%(70/156) and the resistance rate was 36.5%(57/156). The rate of resistance of urinary tract pathogens to levofloxacin was 48.2% (27/56) in patients with previous urinary tract infection history, and 30.0% (30/100) in patients with no previous urinary tract infection history, the difference was statistically significant( P=0.023).The sensitivity rate of Gram-negative bacteria to nenofloxacin was 70.7% (65/92) and that to levofloxacin was 50.0% (46/92, P<0.001). The sensitivity of Gram-positive bacteria to nenofloxacin was 80.0% (16/20), and that to levofloxacin was 70.0% (14/20, P=0.009). Conclusions:The bacterial profile of out-patient community acquired urinary tract infection varies greatly according to different diseases. The proportion of Escherichia coli in AUC and rUTI patients is higher than that in cUTI. The detection rate of ESBLs in Gram-negative bacteria was lower than the domestic average.Patients with a history of urinary tract infection had a high risk of treatment failure with levofloxacin. The sensitivity of common urinary tract pathogens to nenofloxacin was higher than levofloxacin.

Objective To investigate the status of application of the central venous access in the departments of hematology to develop targeted administrative strategies and provide evidence for management.Methods A self-de-signed questionnaire was applied and convenience sampling was adopted in 93 hematology departments from 48 hospitals in 19 provinces(autonomous regions,municipalities).Results A total of 91 valid questionnaires were col-lected,with a valid questionnaire response rate of 97.85%.Among the 91 hematology departments,91(100%),73(80.22%),and 68(74.73%)carried out PICC,central venous catheter,and totally implantable access port catheteriza-tion,respectively.In the evaluation of blood test indicators before central venous access,the items with a higher e-valuation proportion were platelet count(100%)and D-dimer concentration(87.91%),while the evaluation proportion of other items was<85%.When PICC catheterization,97.80%of hematology departments prefer basilic vein;83.52%of hematology departments used zone insertion method;95.60%of hematology departments had a skin disinfection range of ≥20 cm;98.90%of hematology departments had catheterization under ultrasound guidance;67.03%and 96.70%of hematology departments used the intracardiac electrocardiogram method or ultrasound assisted localiza-tion,postoperative X-ray localization;12.09%and 53.85%of hematology departments carried out tunnel catheteriza-tion and blunt separation expansion techniques,respectively.In terms of maintenance of central venous access de-vices,82.42%of hematology departments used disposable specialized maintenance kits;61.54%of hematology de-partments used transparent patches to fix PICC;45.21%of hematology departments used suture to fix central venous catheters;24.18%of hematology departments used cotton swabs to disinfect infusion joints;60.44%of hematology departments did not use disposable infusion joint disinfection cap;74.73%of hematology departments used gauze compression to prevent puncture site bleeding;only 6.59%hematology departments used antibacterial dressings con-taining chlorhexidine to prevent puncture site infections.In terms of quality management of central venous access devices,94.51%and 86.81%of hematology departments regularly conducted quality inspections of central venous access,and collected,calculated and analyzed relevant data.50.55%of hematology departments conducted complica-tion risk assessments,and 10.99%of hematology departments had established information management systems for venous therapy.Conclusion The implementation rate of PICC catheterization in the hematology department was relatively high,and the insertion operation basically meets the standard requirements.The evaluation before central venous access catheterization was relatively completed,and the maintenance and management are relatively stan-dardized.However,the evaluation of blood test indicators before the placement of central venous access urgently needs to be standardized and unified.When PICC catheterization,attention should be paid to the application of new technologies,and the information management of venous therapy needs to be improved.
