Abstract: Objective　To analyze the distribution and drug resistance evolution characteristics of pathogenic bacteria of bloodstream infection in nine tertiary hospitals in Yunnan Province from 2017 to 2021, so as to provide reliable basis for rational selection of antibiotics in clinic. Methods Using the drug sensitive paper method or instrument method, the bacteria identification and drug sensitivity test were carried out in nine tertiary hospitals in different regions according to the unified technical scheme. The results were judged according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) breakpoint standard in 2021, and use WHONET5.6 for data statistical analysis. Results A total of 12 003 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from bloodstream infection samples in the past five years, including 7 442 strains of Gram-negative bacteria (62.0%) and 4562 strains of Gram-positive bacteria (38.0%), with an increasing trend in the number of isolated strains; of these, 163 strains (1.4%) were isolated from outpatients and 11 840 strains (98.6%) were isolated from inpatients. The top three gram-negative bacteria were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii, of which 309 strains (4.2%) were carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KPN), 29 strains (0.4%) carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli and 19 strains (0.3%) carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae, and the number of CR-KPN was on the rise year by year. The top three Gram-positive bacteria were coagulase-negative staphylococci, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecium, of which methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was detected for 213 strains, accounting for 27.7%, and decreased from 40.0% in 2017 to 23.4% in 2021, showing a downward trend year by year. No vancomycin-resistant staphylococci and enterococci were found. Conclusions The detection and composition of bloodstream infection pathogenic bacteria in multicenter have not changed much in the past five years, but each hospital has its own characteristics. The number of carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae increased year by year, which should be paid more attention.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of different types of resistance training on the treatment and prevention of sarcopenia in the elderly.Methods:A computer search was conducted in seven databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang, to identify randomized controlled trials published from the inception of the databases to March 2023, for the assessment of the preventive effects of resistance training on sarcopenia in older adults.Two reviewers independently performed the literature search, selection, and quality assessment of the included studies.A Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3.Results:A total of 12 studies with 1018 participants were included.Compared with the control group, resistance training significantly improved the skeletal muscle mass index( MD=0.34, 95% CI: 0.24~0.44, P<0.01), grip strength( MD=1.63, 95% CI: 0.73~2.53, P<0.01), and 5 times sit-to-stand test performance( MD=-1.99, 95% CI: -2.48--1.51, P<0.01).However, there was no significant improvement observed in muscle mass( MD=1.28, 95% CI: -0.38-2.94, P>0.05), knee extensor strength( SMD=1.71, 95% CI: -0.51-3.93, P>0.05), or gait speed( MD=0.03, 95% CI: -0.03-0.08, P>0.05). Conclusions:Resistance training improves the skeletal muscle mass index, grip strength and the time taken to perform the 5 times sit-to-stand test in the elderly, thus delaying degenerative skeletal muscle changes in older adults with sarcopenia and offering a preventive effect on sarcopenia in healthy senior adults.

Objective To establish a molecular genetic analysis method applicable clinically for genetic diagnosis of patients with neurofibromatosis type Ⅱ (NF2) and their offsprings, and further guide the genetic counseling of NF2 family, condition monitoring, follow-up as well as clinical intervention of the patients. Methods Ten patients with NF2, admitted to our hospital from January 2009 to January 2010, were chosen;tumorigenic Schwann cells in Schwannoma were isolated and purified for primary culture. Genomic DNA was extracted from tumorigenic Schwann cells and from the blood of 2 patients and their offsprings who agreed to accept gene sequencing;the NF2 gene was sequenced (El-15 and El7 exons and adjacent introns). According to the implication of NF2 gene sequencing, genetic counseling was given to the NF2 family, and the potential NF2 patients in offsprings were followed up in a long-term. Results Schwannoma tissue and genomic DNA bank were established initially. Totallysame NF2 gene mutations were detected in genomic DNA extracted both from tumorigenic Schwann cells and blood cells in the same patient. By comparing the genotypes between the patients and the offsprings,consistent NF2 gene mutations were found between a female patient and her daughter aged 3, but not completely consistent gene mutations between another female patient and her son aged 15. All of the mutations in NF2 gene were located in the control region near the exons. Based on the patient's clinical manifestations and symptoms, reasonable plans for clinical interventions and follow-up were developed.Conclusion Schwannoma tissue and genomic DNA bank could supply the bio-resource for genetic molecular testing and treatment studies. Molecular genetic analysis would apply in clinical practice guidance, NF2 risk prediction, and follow-up plan for high-risk NF2 individuals. Early diagnosis and treatment, condition monitoring and long term follow-up and personalized clinical intervention are needed to improve the quality of life and prolong the survival.

Objective To explore the value of the plasma miR-193a-5p level on diagnosis and monitoring the response to treatment in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods Peripheral blood samples were obtained from AML patients enrolled in hematology department of the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from July 2015 to December 2015, including 30 de novo AML patients, 9 patients in complete remission (CR) and 6 patients in relapse. Peripheral blood samples from 15 healthy people were randomly choosed as the health control group. Plasma miR-193a-5p expression levels were detected by using quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results The plasma miR-193a-5p relative expression level of AML patients group [0.465 6 (0.103 1-5.000 2)] was obviously lower than that of health control group [0.766 1 (0.052 1-3.134 4)] (U= 122, P= 0.018 7). The plasma miR-193a-5p relative expression levels of de novo group and relapse AML group were significantly lower than those of CR group and health control group (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between the CR group and health control group (U= 56, P= 0.511 9). No significant correlation was found between the plasma miR-193a-5p level and age, gender, blast percentage of the bone marrow, peripheral blood leukocyte count, platelet count, CD34+cells'percentage and so on. Conclusion The decreased plasma miR-193a-5p expression level can be served as a new and noninvasive biomarker for the evaluation of diagnosis and treatment in AML.

Objective To trace changes in the transcript level of the Treponema pallidum(Tp)protein Tp0751 in skin lesions of a rabbit model of early syphilis. Methods Three New Zealand white rabbits were intracutaneously injected with 0.1 ml of Tp (Nichols Seattle strains)suspensions (107 treponemes/ml)at 10 sites on the shaved back to establish a model of early syphilis. All the rabbits received a single injection with the total amount of treponemes being 107. Then, skin changes at injection sites were observed, and the size of skin rashes was recorded on a daily basis. Skin specimens sized 0.4 cm × 0.4 cm were excised from an injection site and a non-injection site(negative control)separately every 3 days for the detection of Tp0751 and Tp0574 mRNAs. The whole experiment lasted 30 days, and a total of 11 skin biopsies were carried out. Fluorescence-based quantitative PCR was performed to measure the mRNA expressions of Tp0751 and Tp0574 continuously and dynamically during the development of chancre. Results After intracutaneous injection of Tp suspensions, red papules occurred on the back of rabbits on day 6, and reached maximum size on day 19 with the formation of ulcer and chancre. On day 25, disseminated secondary syphilides gradually appeared all over the body surface of the rabbits. The mRNA expression levels of Tp0574 and Tp0751 increased at the early stage, peaked onday 15 (compared with the other time points, all P < 0.05), thereafter rapidly declined, but rose slightly on day 27. The standardized expression level of Tp0751 mRNA increased gradually after day 15, and peaked on day 24 (compared with the other time points, all P < 0.05). Conclusion The transcript level of Tp0751 was high in rabbits at the late stage of Tp clearance when generalized disseminated secondary syphilides had not appeared, suggesting that Tp0751 may be involved in the systemic spread of Tp.
