Objective:To explore the relationship between vesicular monoamine transporter 2(VMAT2) density in the striatum and the non-motor symptoms(NMSs) in patients with Parkinson′s disease(PD).Methods:From December 2018 to December 2019, 29 normal controls (16 males, 13 females, age: (48.8±14.2) years), 31 patients with PD at the Hoehn-Yahr (mH-Y) Ⅱ stage (16 males, 15 females, age: (53.4±8.5) years) and 36 patients with PD at mH-Y Ⅲ stage (19 males, 17 females, age: (63.1±8.2) years) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were prospectively enrolled in this study. All subjects underwent 18F-fluoropropyl-(+ )-dihydrotetrabenazine( 18F-FP-(+ )-DTBZ, 18F-AV133) PET/CT imaging, then the specific uptake ratios (SURs) of striatal subregions were measured with the occipital cortex as the reference background region. The clinical data, laboratory data and imaging results were collected. The NMSs of each patient were evaluated with Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD), Parkinson′s Disease Sleep Scale (PDSS), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Parkinson′s Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (PDQL) and Non-Motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS). The independent-sample t test and one-way analysis of variance (the least significant difference t test) were used to compare data differences. Finally, the association of the striatal SURs with the clinical symptom scores were evaluated with Pearson correlation analysis and multivariable stepwise regression analysis. Results:Significant differences were found in depression (3.51±1.34 vs 11.36±3.87), anxiety (2.35±1.45 vs 6.00±3.32), sleep disorder (132.90±12.26 vs 110.34±19.69) and life quality (7.58±3.37 vs 24.01±10.15) scores between the mH-Y stage Ⅱ and the stage Ⅲ patients ( t values: from -10.573 to 5.439, all P<0.05), while cognitive scores did not differ significantly between the 2 PD groups ( t=1.067, P>0.05). Compared with healthy control group (1.28±0.22), the PD groups displayed a more marked decrease of SURs in the bilateral putamen and in the caudate nucleus (0.65±0.16 and 0.31±0.14; F=83.11, P<0.05), and the SURs of patients at stage Ⅱ were higher than those of the patients at stage Ⅲ ( t=9.116, P<0.05). NMSs scores of PD patients, with the exception of cognition scores, were correlated with striatal SURs ( r values: from -0.647 to -0.426, all P<0.05). Regression analysis showed that total striatum SURs was the best predictor of PDSS and NMSS scores ( R2 values: 0.234, 0.378, both P<0.001), while contralateral caudate nucleus SURs were best predictor of HAMD scores ( R2=0.402, P<0.001). The SURs of contralateral putamen were best variables for predicting HAMA scores ( R2=0.204, P<0.001). Conclusion:The correlation between the decreased striatal VMAT2 and a broad spectrum of NMSs in patients with PD is established, suggesting that the defect in dopamine supply may be an early abnormality promoting mechanisms leading to the development of NMSs in PD.

In China, the malignant tumor with the highest incidence and motality is lung cancer (LC). As screening and early detection and treatment are effective in reducing LC mortality, formulating a guideline in line with China′s national conditions for the screening and early detection and treatment of LC will greatly promote the homogeneity and accuracy of LC screening, and result in an improvement of the effectiveness of LC screening. Commissioned and directed by the Disease Prevention and Control Bureau of the National Health Commission of the People′s Republic of China, the guidline was initiated by the National Cancer Center of China and formulated with joint effort by experts from different disciplines. Following the principles and methods in WHO Handbook for Guideline Development, the guidline integrates the latest development in LC screening and early diagnosis and treatment worldwide while fully considering China′s national conditions and practical experience in LC screening. It provides detailed evidence-based recommendations for different aspects of LC screening, such as the targeted population, the technologies and the procedures, to regulate the practices of LC screening and early diagnosis and treatment and enhance the effectiveness of the prevention and control of LC in China.

In China, the survival rate of liver cancer remains low while the mortality rate is high. Effectively reducing the burden of liver cancer is still a major challenge in the field of public health and chronic disease prevention in the Chinese population. Optimizing screening strategies for liver cancer remains a profound approach to secondary prevention worthy of continuous explora-tion. This guideline was commissioned by the Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention of the National Health Commission. The National Cancer Center of China initiated the guideline develop-ment and convened a multidisciplinary expert panel and working group. Following the World Health Organization Handbook for Guideline Development, this guideline integrated the most up-to-date evidence of liver cancer screening, China′s national conditions, and existing practical experience in liver cancer screening. Evidence-based recommendations on the target population, screening technologies, surveillance strategies, and other key points across the process of liver cancer screening and surveillance management were provided. This guideline would help to standardize the practice of liver cancer screening in China.

Objective: To analyze the susceptibility and distribution of β-lactamase encoding and efflux pump genes as well as the inhibitory effect of efflux pump inhibitors on the carbapenem resistance of the carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae without producing carbapenemase (CRKPPC). Methods: One hundred and eight strains of carbapenem non-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae were collected from our hospital during 2012-2014. The strains producing carbapenemase were screened by Mastdiscs combi Carba plus disc system. For CRKPPC strains, the susceptibilities to antimicrobial agents were determined by micro-dilution broth methods. PCR and DNA sequencing technology were used to analyze the prevalence of β-lactamase encoding extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and plasmid mediated AmpC genes as well as efflux genes including acrAB-tolC, kexD, kdeA, kpnEF and kpnGH. The inhibitory experiments were implemented by using carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) and Reserpine to observe the role of efflux pumps on the carbapenem resistance. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was performed to analyze the expression of outer membrane proteins OmpK35 and OmpK36. Results: Twenty-six strains out of the 108 carbapenem non-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae were identified to be CRKPPC strains which displayed quite high resistance to β-lactam and high resistance to amikacin, gentamicin, levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin. Very good sensitivities were observed to tigecycline, polymyxin, ceftazidime/avibatan and aztreonam/avibatan. The high prevalence of bla CTX-M and bla SHV were also displayed with the prevalent rates being 76.9% and 57.7%, respectively. The loss of outer membrane proteins OmpK35 and OmpK36 with varying degrees was observed, among which 57.7% strains lost ompK35 and 19.2% strains lost OmpK36. More than 80% strains contained efflux genes including acrAB-tolC, kexD, kdeA, kpnEF and kpnGH. The results of inhibitory experiments showed that CCCP displayed quite obviously inhibitory effects on the carbepenem resistance whereas no inhibitory effect was observed for Reserpine. Conclusion Tigecycline and polymyxin could be used as the basis of combined drug for CRKPPC. The prevalence of AmpC, ESBLs and loss of OmpK35 and OmpK36 with varying degrees among these strains were observed, but the over-expression of efflux pumps should be the main mechanism of the carbapenem resistance in the Klebsiella pneumoniae strains, and efflux inhibitors may have potential value in treating the infections caused by these bacteria.

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance profile of the clinical isolates collected from selected hospitals across China. Methods Twenty-nine general hospitals and five children's hospitals were involved in this program. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out according to a unified protocol using Kirby-Bauer method or automated systems. Results were interpreted according to CLSI 2017 breakpoints. Results A total of 190 610 clinical isolates were collected from January to December 2017, of which gram negative organisms accounted for 70.8％ (134 951/190 610) and gram positive cocci 29.2％ (55 649/190 610). The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains was 35.3％ in S. aureus (MRSA) and 80.3％ in coagulase negative Staphylococcus (MRCNS) on average. MR strains showed much higher resistance rates to most of the other antimicrobial agents than MS strains. However, 91.6％ of MRSA strains were still susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, while 86.2％ of MRCNS strains were susceptible to rifampin. No staphylococcal strains were found resistant to vancomycin. E. faecalis strains showed much lower resistance rates to most of the drugs tested (except chloramphenicol) than E. faecium. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) was identified in both E. faecalis and E. faecium. The identified VRE strains were mainly vanA, vanB or vanM type based on phenotype or genotype. The proportion of PSSP or PRSP strains in the non-meningitis S.pneumoniae strains isolated from children decreased but the proportion of PISP strains increased when compared to the data of 2016. Enterobacteriaceae strains were still highly susceptible to carbapenems. Overall, less than 10％ of these strains (excluding Klebsiella spp.) were resistant to carbapenems. The prevalence of imipenem-resistant K. pneumoniae increased from 3.0％ in 2005 to 20.9％ in 2017, and meropenem-resistant K. pneumoniae increased from 2.9％ in 2005 to 24.0％ in 2017, more than 8-fold increase. About 66.7％ and 69.3％ of Acinetobacter (A. baumannii accounts for 91.5％) strains were resistant to imipenem and meropenem, respectively. Compared with the data of year 2016, P. aeruginosa strains showed decreasing resistance rate to carbapenems. Conclusions Bacterial resistance is still on the rise. It is necessary to strengthen hospital infection control and stewardship of antimicrobial agents. The communication between laboratorians and clinicians should be further improved in addition to surveillance of bacterial resistance.
