Objective To investigate the resistance mechanisms and epidemiology of Enterobacteriaceae isolated from clinical with reduced susceptibility to imipenem or meropenem.Methods 18 strains of Enterobacteriaceae with reduced carbapenem susceptibility were collected during January to August in 2010.The MICs of these strains were determined using automated microbial identification system.ESBLs,AmpC and KPC were tested using the agar dilution method.PCR amplification and DNA sequence were performed to analyze the KPC genes,PFGE was used to examine the molecular epidemiology.Results All 18 strains were detected ESBLs and AmpC,14 strains were detected KPC-2.3 strains with EDTA paper method positive may produce other metal carbapenem,in which 2 strains harbor KPC-2.PFGE types indicate that there were six genotypes among 15 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae.Conclusion Plasmid-mediated KPC-2 was the main reason which makes Enterobacteriaceae reducing carbapenem susceptibility and causes short-term epidemic in hospital.Clinical strains harboring KPC-2 gene may carry multiple resistance genes meanwhile.

Objective:To comprehensively retrieve and summarize the best evidence on the prevention of position-related nerve injury in adult patients undergoing general anesthesia, in order to provide evidence-based guidance for standardized position management during general anesthesia surgery in adults.Methods:Clinical decision-making, guidelines, evidence summaries, best practice, practice advisories, systematic reviews, expert consensuses were systematically search in UpToDate, BMJ Best Practice, Guidelines International Network (GIN), Canadian Medical Association: Clinical Practice Guideline(CMA Infobase), National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC), National Institute for Health and Care Excellence(NICE), Cochrane Library, PubMed, CNKI, Wanfang, and related websites. The literature retrieval period was from the database construction to September 30,2022. The guidelines were independently assessed by 4 researchers, and the remaining literature was independently evaluated by 2 researchers. The literature that met the criteria was extracted. Finally, the expert meeting integrated the evidence and summarized the evidence topics.Results:A total of 17 articles were included, including 6 clinical decision-making, 3 guidelines, 2 practice advisories,5 systematic reviews, and 1 expert consensus. A total of 32 pieces of best evidence and 5 evidence topics were formed: personnel placement, perioperative evaluation, points of surgical position, key points in special surgery or situation, other general principles.Conclusion:This study summarized the best evidence for the prevention and management of surgical position related nerve injuries, and provides a scientific theoretical reference for postural management of adult patients undergoing operation with general anesthesia, to reduce the incidence of nerve injuries related position.

Objective To explore the relationships of ultrasound vascular index quantification and elastic modulus with biological characteristics of breast cancer and its clinical significance.Meth-ods A total of 103 patients with breast cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC)were selected as study subjects.The relationships of the quantification of vascular index(Ⅵ)and maxi-mum elastic modulus(Emax)of shear wave elastography(SWE)with the biological characteristics of breast cancer before NAC were analyzed.According to the pathological response of NAC,the patients were divided into significant response group and non-significant response group.The change rates ofⅥ and Emax at the end of different cycles of NAC were compared between the two groups.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the change rates of Ⅵ and Emax at the end of different cycles to predict the pathological response of NAC in breast cancer.Results Before NAC,Ⅵ and Emax were related to the degree of differentiation,pathological stage and HER-2 expres-sion in breast cancer tissues(P＜0.05).The significant response group had higher change rates ofⅥ and Emax at the end of 1,2,and 4 week of NAC compared to the non-significant response group(P＜0.01).At the end of the second cycle,AUG of change rates of Ⅵ combined with Emax predicted the pathological response of NAC in breast cancer was 0.918,with the sensitivity of 0.874,and specificity of 0.905,which were higher than 0.832 of AUC,0.78 of sensitivity,and 0.827 of specificity at the end of 1 week of NAC,and were higher than 0.853 of AUC,0.827 of sensitivity,and 0.849 of spe-cificity at the end of the fourth week.Conclusion Ⅵ and Emax are correlated with the degree of dif-ferentiation,pathological stage and HER-2 expression in breast cancer.At the end of the second cy-cle of chemotherapy,the change rates of the Ⅵ combined with Emax have the best efficacy in predic-ting the pathological reaction of NAC in breast cancer.

Objective:To observe the multimodal imaging characteristics of combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium (CHRRPE).Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.Sixteen eyes of 16 patients with CHRRPE were enrolled in Second People's Hospital of Yunnan Province from March 2013 to July 2019.Fundus color photography, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), optical coherence tomography (OCT), optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and multicolor imaging were performed in all patients.The multimodal imaging characteristics were analyzed.This study protocol adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by an Ethics Committee of Second People's Hospital of Yunnan Province (No.20130106). Written informed consent was obtained from patients or their guardians prior to any medical examination.Results:Tumors were located in the posterior optic disc, and translucent glial lesions with unclear borders and slight elevations were observed.The surface of the lesions was attached by different degrees of fibroproliferative membrane, and the adjacent vessels were twisted and dilated.The tumors presented flat bulging green reflexes on the retina at the posterior pole by multicolor imaging, and OCT image showed thickened optic disc and retina near the optic disc, structural disorder, high reflectance of the surface, and low reflectance of the deep retina below the periretinal membrane.OCTA showed irregular blood flow signals, and the signal of retinal blood vessels was twisted and dilated.FAF showed that the autofluorescence intensity of tumors was weakened to different degrees.Early lesions presented different degrees of blocked fluorescence in FFA.Deformed and tortuous blood vessels were found in the eyes, and telangiectasia showing needle-like punctate strong fluorescence leakage was observed in severe eyes by FFA.ICGA showed no abnormal choroidal vessels.Conclusions:The main imaging features of CHRRPE include abnormal retinal blood vessels in the tumor area and fibrous proliferative membranes on the surface in color image; OCT shows that the retina and the retinal pigment epithelium are involved, and the retina in the tumor is thickened with disordered structure; high reflection OCTA shows irregular internal blood flow signals inside the tumor; FFA examination shows fluorescence obscuration and obviously tortuous retinal blood vessels.Multimodal imaging examinations are helpful for the diagnosis of CHRRPE.

Objective:To investigate the anatomy and therapeutic effecton skin soft tissue defect at the great toe of perforator flap from distal deep branch of medial plantar artery.Methods:The arteries of one adult foot specimens were filled with red latex and vascular anatomy was performed. Branch distribution and anastomosis of medial plantar artery and dorsal foot artery were observed. The clinical data of 12 patients with skin soft tissue defect at the great toe repaired by retrograde perforator flap from distal deepbranch of medial plantar artery from September 2016 to September 2019 in Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University was selected, and the donor sites were repaired with skin grafts. The flap survival and complications were observed.Results:Anatomy result demonstrated that deep branch of the medial plantar artery was direct continuation of the medial plantar artery. It traveled along between short toe flexor muscle and abductor hallucis muscle, and gave out several perforators. The proximal perforators passed through the abductor hallucis muscle, and anastomosed with superficial branch of medial plantar artery, anterior medial malleolus artery, and medial tarsal artery. Three perforators were issued at the proximal end of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, namely articular perforator, cutaneous perforator, and communication branch. The cutaneous perforator was main blood supply source for perforator flap from distal deep branch of medial plantar artery.A total of 12 skin flaps were harvested from 12 patients, with an area from 4.5 cm×3.0 cm to 9.0 cm×6.0 cm. Postsurgery dark purple and a few blisters occurred in three flaps, and the sutures at the pedicle were immediately removed, and the flap was coated with antibiotic ointment to keep it moist, then the flap color gradually improved after postsurgery 5 days.12 skin flaps eventually survived completely. All patients were followed up by telephone for 2-12 months. The flap color, texture and appearance were excellent. The traumatic feet walked normally.Conclusions:The perforator flap from distal deep branch of medial plantar artery has reliable blood supply for retrograde repairing small and medium skin defect at the great toe of distal the first metatarsophalangeal joint, with simple operation, less trauma, and positive postoperative effect.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of imatinib on growth impairment in children with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML-CP) in the chronic phase.Methods:From July 2018 to July 2019, questionnaires were distributed to CML children aged <18 years at the time of diagnosis who were receiving imatinib for at least 3 months or to their parents in China. The height-for-age standard deviation score (HtSDS) and the difference of standard deviation integral (△HtSDS) were used to explore the change in height with imatinib therapy.Results:The data of 238 respondents were included; 138 (58.0% ) respondents were men. The median age at the first diagnosis of CML was 11.0 years (range, 1.4-17.9 years) , and 93 (39.0% ) respondents were at the prepuberty stage. At the time of completing the questionnaires, the median age was 15.0 years (range, 2.0-34.0 years) . The median duration of imatinib therapy was 28 months (range, 3-213 months) . Among all the respondents, the mean HtSDS when completing the questionnaires (-0.063±1.361) was significantly lower than that at the time of starting imatinib treatment (0.391±1.244) ( P<0.001) . Total 71.0% respondents showed growth impairment that was more common in those starting imatinib therapy at prepubertal age than in those starting at pubertal age. Multivariate analysis showed that younger at the start of imatinib therapy ( P<0.001) and longer duration of imatinib therapy ( P<0.001) were significantly associated with severe growth impairment on imatinib therapy. Conclusions:Imatinib induced growth impairment in children with CML-CP. Younger the age of initiation and longer the duration of imatinib therapy, more obvious the effect of imatinib on growth impairment.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical results of one stage surgical treatment in congenital scoliosis (CS) patients associated with split cord malformation (SCM).

METHODSBetween January 2007 and December 2010, 50 patients underwent one stage surgical treatment for CS associated with SCM. Among of them, 38 patients (13 male and 25 female) with an average age of (15 ± 6) years, who were followed up in the clinic at least 2 years longer, were include in the study. There were 12 patients with Type I SCM and 26 patients with Type II SCM Pre-operative, post-operative and the follow-up imaging data were collected and compared by paired t-test, while imaging data between Type I SCM group and Type II SCM group were compared by group t-test. Bony spur was first resected to the Type I SCM while nothing was done to the Type II SCM. Then, all patients were followed by posterior corrective procedure in one stage. Meanwhile, duraplasty were only applied in 5 patients whose dural cleft were more than 1 cm longer.

RESULTSThe average follow-up was 41 ± 13 months (range, 26-68 months). The average operation time was 491 ± 152 minutes (range, 105-780 minutes) and the average blood loss was (1 933 ± 1 516) ml (range, 1 000-8 000 ml). The mean major coronal curve was corrected from 70° ± 26° preoperatively to 312° ± 16° postoperatively with a correction rate of 57% ± 18%, and 33° ± 17° at the final follow-up with a correction rate of 54% ± 20%. The mean major sagittal curve was corrected from 43° ± 31° to 26° ± 16°, and 27° ± 15° at the final follow-up. The postoperative complication occurred in 2 patients (5.3%) with Type I SCM, including neurological deterioration in 1 patient (2.6%) and cerebrospinal fluid leakage in 1 patient (2.6%). There were no paralysis and other serious complications. The patients who suffered from neurological deterioration recovered to the preoperative neurological status at 30 months postoperatively and no further improvement at the final follow-up.

CONCLUSIONIt is safe and efficient to treat the CS associated with SCM by one stage surgery without increasing the risk of neurological complications postoperatively.
