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.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the improvement of Kangshuai Yizhi Formula I ( I, KYF I) on: the learning and memory dysfunction in mice, and on the mechanism of the hippocampal cholinergic system and the nervous system of monoamine which are closely related to learning and memory function.

METHODSMice: in the low-, middle-, and high-dose KYF I groups were given low-, middle-, and high-dose KYF, respectively, by gastrogavage for 35 successive days. Animals in the control group and the model group were treated with distilled water. The acute learning and memory dysfunction model was established by injection of scopolamine from day 31, and Morris water maze was used to assess the behavior performance of scopolamine-induced model mice for five days. The activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), choline acetyl transferase (ChaT) and the content of monoamine neurotransmitters in hippocampus were measured. The activity of monoamine oxidase (MAO) in hippocampus and serum was also detected.

RESULTS(1) Compared with the control group, the: mean escape latency was shortened, and the frequency across the platform and the staying time at the platform area on the 5th day were decreased in the model group by Morris water maze test. The activities of AChE and MAO were increased, and the ChaT activity and monoamine neurotransmitter content were decreased as well. (2) The escape latency for 4 days in the low-, middle-, and high-dose KYF I groups was significantly shortened than that in the model group, with the shortest latency in the high-dose KYF I group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The frequency across the platform was significantly increased and the staying time at the platform was significantly prolonged in the middle- and high-dose KYF I groups (P<0.05, P<0.01). (3) As compared with the model group, the activity of ChaT and the content of monoamine neurotransmitters in the hippocampus were significantly increased, and the activities of AchE and MAO were significantly decreased in the hippocampus in the high-dose KYF I group (P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONSHigh-dose KYF I can significantly improve the learning and memory dysfunction: induced by scopolamine in mice. Its mechanism may be related to improving the central cholinergic system and regulating the hippocampal monoamine neurotransmitters.

OBJECTIVESTo investigate the expression of Survivin in patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EHCC) and its relationship with clinicopathological features of EHCC, and the correlation between the expression of Survivin and lymph node micrometastasis, tumor markers, and the prognosis of EHCC.

METHODSThe expression of Survivin protein in paraffin-embedded specimens of 59 patients with EHCC and their 20 para-carcinoma tissues were evaluated by S-P method of immunohistochemical staining. The correlation between the expression of Survivin and the lymph node micrometastasis, clinicopathological features of EHCC and the prognosis of EHCC were analyzed.

RESULTSThe positive expression rate of Survivin protein was 67.8% (40/59) in paraffin-embedded specimens of 59 patients with EHCC and was 20.0% (4/20) in para-carcinoma tissues, and difference between carcinoma tissues and para-carcinoma tissues was significant (P<0.01). Histological differentiation in EHCC had a negative correlation with the expression of Survivin protein, while the expression of Survivin protein in EHCC had a positive correlation with TNM of EHCC, lymphatic vessel infiltration, lymph node metastasis and perineural invasion (P<0.05). The serum CA19-9 levels in the positive group with expression of Survivin protein was (290,300+/-55 500) U/L and was obviously higher than that in the negative group [(113,300+/-31,400) U/L, P<0.05]. The mean survival time of the patients with negative expression of Survivin protein was higher than that of the patients with positive expression (43.5 vs. 21.1 months, P<0.01). Screened to significance univariate, the multivariate analysis through Cox proportional hazard model analysis showed that lymph node metastasis, residual tumor margins, and expression of Survivin protein were independent prognosis factors of the patients with EHCC (P<0.05, P<0.01, P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONSThe expression of Survivin protein in EHCC has a negative correlation with histological differentiation, while has a positive correlation with lymphatic vessel infiltration and serum CA19-9 concentrations. The expression of Survivin protein maybe an independent prognosis factor of the patients with EHCC.
