Objective To investigate the clinical features and risk factors of multidrug-resistant bacteria (multi drug resistant organisms, MDROs) infection in Department of Neurosurgery, and to provide evidence for the prevention and control of MDRO infection. Methods Data from 437 cases of infection in hospitalized patients on January 2012-2016 year in December Third Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into MDROs group and non MDROs group based on the results of MDROs detection. Multi factor Logistic regression analysis model was used to analyze risk factors. Results The infection rate of MDROs was 35.51%, and the detection rate of MDROs was 33.23% . ESBLs, CR-AB and MRSA were the most common bacterial species, and the infection of respiratory tract, urinary tract and wound infection were the main infection sites. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hospitalization time >20 d, level of consciousness (coma), occupancy of ICU ≥7 d, ventilation (invasive), number of antibiotics used≥3, combined use of antibiotics≥3, mechanical ventilation Time≥7 d were possible risk factors for MDROs infection in neurosurgical patients (P<0.05). Conclusion The situation of MDROs infection in neurosurgery is severe. To reduce MDROs infection, it is important to shorten unnecessary hospitalization time, promptly assess and transfer out of ICU as soon as possible, improve microbial examination, avoid frequent change of antibiotics or unnecessary use of use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, reduce unnecessary mechanical ventilation time, change to non-invasive ventilation as far as possible when the condition permits, focus on patients with poor consciousness, and prevent aspiration by mistake.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between concurrent myocardial bridge at anterior descending branch and the formation of coronary atherosclerosis plaques by using transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG). Methods A total of 198 patients underwent coronary CTA in Renji Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medcine from June 2017 to March 2018 and the results showed the anterior descending myocardial bridge. The data were retrospectively analyzed. All patients completed the coronary CTA with 320?row detector CT. According to the manifestations of myocardial bridge on CTA,the patients were divided into deep and superficial myocardial bridge groups. According to whether the patients were complicated with coronary atherosclerotic plaques, they were divided into isolated myocardial bridge group and myocardial bridge with coronary atherosclerotic plaque group. The thickness and length of myocardial bridge, the volume of coronary atherosclerotic plaques at the site of myocardial bridge, the pre?bridge and post?bridge TAG values, and the K ratio were recorded. Independent sample t test (normal distribution) or Mann?Whitney U test (skewed distribution) was used to compare the difference of measurement data among different groups. χ2 test was used to compare the difference of enumeration data among different groups. Pearson correlation test was used to analyze the correlation among pre?bridge and post?bridge TAG values,K ratio,thickness and length of myocardial bridge and plaque volume. The influence of above indexes on plaque occurrence was analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis. The relationship between main influence indexes and plaque formation was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Results Ninety nine patients had isolated myocardial bridge,99 with myocardial bridge and coronary atherosclerotic plaques,27 with superficial myocardial bridge and 171 with deep myocardial bridge. All atherosclerotic plaques occurred in pre?bridge and the mean volume of plaques was (91.6±83.0)mm3. The differences in sex, age, height, body weight and body mass index werenot statistically significant between isolated myocardial bridge group and myocardial bridge with coronary atherosclerotic plaque group (all P>0.05). The difference in pre?bridge TAG value was statistically significant between the isolated myocardial bridge group and myocardial bridge with coronary atherosclerotic plaque group (all P<0.05), but not statistically significant in post?bridge TAG value and K ratio (all P>0.05). The difference in pre?bridge and post?bridge TAG values and K value was not statistically significant between the superficial group and the deep group (all P>0.05). There was a weak negative correlation (r=-0.205,-0.316,-0.339,respectively,P<0.05) between the plaque volume and pre?bridge&post?bridge TAG values and K ratio. The pre?bridge TAG value significantly affected the plaque formation (P=0.014) and the odds ratio was 0.884 (95% CI 0.801 to 0.976). While other factors had no significant effects on plaque formation (all P>0.05). The area under curveof plaque formation promoted by pre?bridge TAG value was 0.582. When the diagnostic critical value was -37.26 HU/mm, the sensitivity and specificity of pre?bridge TAG value in plaque formation were 31.31% and 81.82%, respectively. Conclusion The TAG value of anterior descending bridge is an independent risk factor for plaque occurrence. The abnormal TAG value of anterior descending myocardial bridge can be detected early by CTA.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational drug use and hospital infection control. METHODS:AmpC enzyme-producing Enterobacter cloacae were isolated from non-sputum specimen of a hospital during Jan. 2011-Oct. 2017. Drug sensitivity test was conducted by using MIC. The situation of AmpC enzyme production was confirmed by three dimensional test, and that of ESBLs-producing stain was detected with double-disk synergy test. RESULTS:There were 546 strains of AmpC enzyme-producing E. cloacae isolated from non-sputum specimen of the hospital,accounting for 4.80% of non-sputum specimen (546/11 375)and 38.97% of E. cloacae(546/1 401). Top 3 non-sputum samples in the list of detection rate were wound secretion (27.29%),midstream urine(25.82%)and blood(21.79%),and the departments with high detection rate were ICU(22.89%), neurosurgery department(18.68%)and general surgery department(16.67%). Resistance rate of AmpC enzyme-producing E. cloacae to most commonly used antibiotics was higher than 40%. There was statistical significance in resistant rate of the bacteria to ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, gentamicin, nitrofurantoin, levofloxacin, piperacillin/tazobactam, cefoperazone, ceftazidime,cefepime,tobramycin and minocycline among different years (P<0.05). The resistant rate to imipenem and meropenem was lower than 2%. Among 546 strains of AmpC enzyme-producing E. cloacae,68 strains of ESBLs were detected,and detection rates were 5.77%,6.06%,8.70%,10.26%,13.79%,17.35%,18.75% during 2011-2017. CONCLUSIONS:AmpC enzyme-producing E. cloacae are mainly isolated from samples as wound secretion and midstream urine,and mainly come from ICU and neurosurgery department. The drug resistance of the bacteria is severe,and drug resistance of the bacteria to antibiotics as β-lactams and quinolones is increased significantly. The detection rate of ESBLs-producing strain increases year by year. The bacteria are sensitive to carbapenems antibiotics,which can be regarded as first choice. It is necessary to strengthen drug resistance and enzyme production monitoring of AmpC enzyme-producing E. cloacae,select antibiotics combined with results of drug sensitivity test so as to prevent or delay the rapid increase of its resistance rate.

Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)is the brain injury caused by asphyxiation in the perinatal period.HIE is a serious health-threatening disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality,and there is no effective treatment for the disease.Melatonin is a neuroendocrine hormone,which is synthesized primarily by the pineal gland.The synthesis and seretion of melatonin are regulated by light intensity.Melatonin has a high affinity for the central nervous system,which can easily penetrate the blood-brain barrier and blood placental barrier.It has been found that melatonin has functions in regulating the sleep cycle,antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.Melatonin has also been shown to regulate lipid and glucose metabolism.Recent research suggests that the melatonin appears to be a versatile anti-oxidative,anti-inflammatory,anti-apoptotic agent,as well as a molecule with regulation of mitochondrial function and autophagy process,and plays a neuroprotective role in HIE.Therefore,this review focuses on the established mechanisms of injury brain protection,progress of animal studies and clinical trials of melatonin in HIE,to provide references for its clinical application.

Objectives:To analyze the survival benefit of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) radical resection based on single cell omics.Methods:This is a retrospective case-series study. ICC single-cell sequencing was integrated from four data sets in the Gene Expression Omnibus Database, with a total of 46 patients undergoing radical resection, to explore the characteristics of the microenvironment. Microarray data of 100 ICC cases was analyzed in the EMBI database with survival data. The infiltration abundance of each epithelial cell cluster was calculated in each microarray data sample using the ssGSEA algorithm. The key epithelial cell cluster associated with poor patient outcomes was explored. The clinical value of key marker genes in this subgroup was studied. Prognostic marker genes were selected using the univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards(CoxPH) model. The The CoxPH model was constructed by the target genes and a nomogram was drawn. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to verify the relationship between score and prognosis of patients. The predictive power of the model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA).Results:Epithelial cell clusters infiltrated almost exclusively in tumor tissue. The MT2A+ epithelial cell subset was associated with a poorer prognosis for patients with a high invasion abundance and patients characterized by infiltration of this group were defined as antioxidant. After screening marker genes in this cluster using a univariate and multivariate CoxPH model, the following genes were found to be independent prognostic factors: FILPIL, NFKBIA, PEG10, SERPINB5. The CoxPH model was constructed using the four gene expression levels, and the survival rate of patients in the high-risk group was significantly lower than those in the low-risk group (all P<0.05). The constructed nomogram had good discrimination and validity. The ROC curve showed that the predicted area under the curve was 0.779, 0.844 and 0.845 at 1, 3 and 5 years, respectively. Compared to clinical indicators, the model had better predictive power using the calibration curve and the DCA test. Conclusions:The MT2A+ epithelial cell group may be associated with the prognosis of patients with ICC, and the concept of ICC tissue typing of antioxidant and non-antioxidant types is proposed. The type of antioxidant may predict the poor prognosis of the patients, and postoperative adjuvant therapy and other means could be considered to improve the survival of the patients.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a type of primary liver cancer, which has shown an increasing trend in incidence and mortality in recent years, with a poor prognosis. The clinical diagnosis and treatment of ICC currently face the challenges of low detection rate, high mortality rate, poor treatment outcome, and urgently need more in-depth research to promote the improvement of clinical diagnosis and treatment level. In recent years, ICC diagnosis and treatment related research has made new progress in many aspects, and the knowledge about these new clinical diagnosis and treatment advances should be updated in a timely manner. This article reviewed the latest research results in recent years, summarized some new views on ICC typing, prevention and diagnosis staging that have been proposed recently, as well as the new progress made in surgical treatment and systemic treatment, and briefly discussed the potential of ICC individualized precision treatment and the occurrence of rare complications caused by combined treatment.

Objective:To investigate the effect of the number of positive preoperative serological tumor markers on the surgical approach and prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:This is a retrospective case-series study. Data from 548 patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma after radical resection from October 2010 to April 2019 were retrospectively collected in 10 hospitals of China. There were 277 males and 271 females with an age of (57.8±10.2)years(range:23 to 84 years). Four hundred and twenty-six patients(77.7%) had at least one positive preoperative serum tumor marker. The data collection included the results of 4 preoperative serological tumor markers,other preoperative indicators(5 prodromal symptoms, 6 medical history,8 preoperative serological indicators,5 preoperative imaging indicators,and 14 preoperative pathological examination indicators),baseline data (gender and age),surgical methods,and prognostic follow-up data. Four preoperative results of serologic tumor marker and surgical procedure were converted into categorical variables. The number of positive preoperative serum tumor markers was used as the treatment variable,the surgical method was used as the mediating variable,and the survival time was used as the outcome variable. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to screen for other preoperative indicators which were independent factors that influenced the surgical procedure and the prognosis of patients as covariates to analyze the mediating effect.Results:Of the 548 patients included in the study, 176 patients (32.1%) underwent partial hepatectomy,151 patients(27.5%) underwent hemihepatectomy, and 221 patients(40.3%) underwent partial hepatectomy or hemihepatectomy combined with other treatments. The results of the univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the number of positive serum tumor markers,intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,portal vein invasion,pathological differentiation,pathological type,vascular invasion,T stage,N stage and maximum tumor diameter were independent factors influencing the surgical procedure(all P<0.05). Intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,pathological differentiation and T stage were independent prognostic factors for patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(all P<0.05). Intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,differentiation and T stage were included as covariates in the mediation effect model. The results showed that the number of positive serum tumor markers before surgery had a negative predictive effect on the survival time of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma ( β=-0.092, P=0.039),and had a positive predictive effect on the surgical method ( β=0.244, P<0.01). The number of positive serum tumor markers had a negative predictive effect on the survival time of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma ( β=-0.151, P=0.002). Direct and indirect effects accounted for 71.3% and 28.7% of total effects,respectively. Conclusions:The higher the positive number of preoperative tumor markers,the worse the prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The number of positive cells not only directly affects the prognosis of patients,but also indirectly affects the prognosis of patients by affecting the surgical method.
