BACKGROUND:The methods to treat intertrochanteric fracture are controversial. A large number of clinical studies concern the therapeutic effects of several popular methods to repair intertrochanteric fracture, but these results lack of independence, and may have bias that cannot be measured in the variable and observational studies. Thus, relevant studies have been limited. OBJECTIVE:To compare the repair effects of proximal femoral nail anti-rotation, dynamic hip screw and total hip arthroplasty on intertrochanteric fracture in aged patients by meta-analysis. METHODS: Four electronic databases were searched, including Cochrane library, PubMed, Web of Science and Chinese BioMedical Literature Database, to colect al randomized controled trials concerning the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation, dynamic hip screw and total hip arthroplasty. Using meta-analysis of evidence-based medicine, X-ray exposure time, postoperative complication rate, postoperative bed time, postoperative wound infection rate, Harris hip scores, mean operation time, intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stays and length of the incision were compared and evaluated. Standard and methodology quality of the trials were criticaly assessed and relative data were extracted. This study used the Review Manager 5.0 software provided by Cochrane colaboration network. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Twelve randomized controled trials with 1 454 patients were included. Significant differences in mean operation time, intraoperative blood loss, X-ray exposure time, postoperative complication rate, and postoperative bed time were detected between the proximal femoral nail anti-rotation and dynamic hip screw groups (P < 0.05). Significant differences in length of hospital stays, postoperative complication rate, and postoperative bed time were observed between the proximal femoral nail anti-rotation and total hip arthroplasty groups (P < 0.05). Significant differences in postoperative complication rate, postoperative bed time, and Harris hip scores were detectable between the dynamic hip screw and total hip arthroplasty groups (P < 0.05). These data confirm that proximal femoral nail anti-rotation was apparently better than dynamic hip screw and total hip arthroplasty in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stays, postoperative complication rate, and postoperative bed time. Dynamic hip screw was better than proximal femoral nail anti-rotation in X-ray exposure time. Total hip arthroplasty was better than dynamic hip screw and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation in length of hospital stays, postoperative complication rate and postoperative bed time.

BACKGROUND:Although bone tissue engineering scaffolds made of traditional methods have made certain achievements, the three-dimensional structure, mechanical strength and personalized property of the scaffolds are unsatisfied. 3D printing technology is expected to change these shortcomings. OBJECTIVE:To review the 3D printing of bone tissue engineering scaffolds and to prospect the optimization of the scaffolds. METHODS:A computer-based search of PubMed and Google academic database was performed for articles addressing the 3D printing of bone tissue engineering scaffolds published from 2008 to 2015. Articles concerning the structure design and materials of bone tissue engineering scaffolds and different 3D printing technologies for scaffold preparation were included, and repetitive and old articles were excluded. Final y, 37 articles were summarized. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Currently, 3D printing technologies used for preparation of bone tissue engineering scaffolds include melt laminated molding, stereolithography, selective laser sintering and 3DP technology. 3D printing technologies have unique advantages in mechanics, structure and personalized aspects, but there are stil many problems to be solved, such as raw materials, insufficiency of different 3D technologies, and improvement of 3D printer. Under the multi-disciplinary co-operation, 3D printing technology is expected to prepare suitable bone tissue engineering scaffolds and bring benefit to the mankind.

BACKGROUND:Repairing tuberculosis bone defect has become a research focus with the development of anti-tuberculosis functional bone tissue engineering scaffold. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the preparation, drug release performance and osteogenic properties of the anti-tuberculosis functional bone tissue engineering scaffold. METHODS:PubMed, Chinese Journal Ful-text Database, Wanfang databases were searched by computer for articles addressing functional bone tissue engineering scaffold for repair of tuberculosis bone defect. The keywords were“bone tissue engineering scaffold;tuberculosis;bone defect”in English and Chinese. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The anti-tuberculosis functional bone tissue engineering scaffold has good drug delivery, biocompatibility, osteogenic properties and anti-tuberculosis properties. As a good choice to avert bone defect relapse, the scaffold enables a long and stable drug release into bone defects to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of anti-tuberculosis drugs topical y. Given the technical deficiencies, we can only combine two drugs with the anti-tuberculosis bone tissue engineering scaffold, although the combined use of three or four anti-tuberculosis drugs is preferred. Additional y, a complete course of anti-tuberculosis treatment often lasts for 6-12 months, which cannot be achieved by the existing anti-tuberculosis bone tissue engineering scaffold. Up to now, the effect of this scaffold has not yet been confirmed in animal models, although how to prepare this scaffold has been reported.

Group-A rotaviruses are recognized as the most common cause of acute diarrhea. Phylogenetic analyses of the VP7 genes of rotaviruses circulating in Nanjing (China) could aid in the development of rotavirus vaccines. A total of 908 stool specimens were collected from patients suffering from acute diarrhea in Nanjing between October 2012 and December 2013, and were tested further for rotaviruses. Fifty rotavirus isolates selected randomly were typed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction using serotype-specific primers for G genotyping. VP7 genes of 19 G9 strains were sequenced for further genetic characterization. Among the 908 stool specimens examined during the surveillance period, 103 (11.34%) were rotavirus-positive. G9 was the most predominant genotype (78.0%), followed by G2, G1 and G3. Sequence and phylogenetic analyses of the VP7 genes of serotype G9 rotaviruses revealed these strains to comprise two lineages (G9-VI, G9-III) and to be dominated by the G9-VI lineage (which belonged to a unique subcluster of Japanese and Chinese G9 strains). Amino-acid sequences of the four antigenic regions (A, B, C or F) were variant among a portion of strains, which may have contributed to the prevalence of G9 rotaviruses in this area.

Objective:To investigate the effects of propofol and sevoflurane on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after emergency surgery in trauma patients.Methods:A total of 160 trauma patients undergoing emergency surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into the propofol group and the sevoflurane group. The perioperative clinical data of the two groups were collected. The incidence of PTSD was evaluated by PCL-5 score one month after the operation in the two groups. The relevance of the injury time and PCL-5 score was assessed by Spearman correlation analysis. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of PTSD.Results:The incidence of PTSD in the propofol group was significantly higher than that in the sevoflurane group at postoperative 1 month (24.0% vs 10.8%, P=0.034). The injury time was negatively correlated with PCL-5 score in the propofol group ( r=0.229, P<0.01). There was no correlation between the injury time and the PCL-5 score in the sevoflurane group ( r=0.001, P=0.804). Logistic regression analysis showed that the use of propofol was an independent risk factor for PTSD ( P=0.004). Conclusions:Sevoflurane anesthesia is more effective than propofol anesthesia in reducing the occurrence of PTSD in emergency surgery for trauma patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of elderly patients with stage 3-4 chronic kidney disease ( CKD ) and to analyze the risk factors of the kidney function progression. Methods This was a cross-sectional study. The clinic data of elderly patients (≥60 years) with stable clinical manifestation in Beijing Hospital from January ,2014 to December ,2015 was collected.Based upon the eGFR derived from Cockcroft-Gault (CG) equation ,all patients were divided into groups of CKD 3a group ,CKD 3b group and CKD 4 group ,respectively. Moreover ,patients were separated into the old group (＜ 80 years) and the very old group (≥80 years) based on the age. The demographic features ,primary diseases history ,body mass index (BMI) ,blood routine ,urine routine , blood biochemistry ,Cystatin C and iPTH were recorded.Logistic regression analysis of kidney function progression was also conducted. Results One-hundred and eighty-three cases were enrolled with a mean age of(80 ± 9)years.Along with the descent of kidney function ,the age ,levels of proteinuria and iPTH gradually ascended (F＝ 12.352 ,5.910 ,5.910 ;P＝ 0.000 ,0.003 ,0.003 ,respectively) and the BMI and serum albumin gradually descended (F＝9.758 ,11.088 ;P＝0.000 ,0.000 ,respectively).In addition ,compared to the old group ,very old group was associated with decreased level of eGFR [(37.1 ± 9.9) ml·min－1·1.73 m －2vs. (44.0 ± 12.0) ml·min－1·1.73 m －2,t＝ －4.280 ,P＝0.000] and increasedlevelofCystatinC[(1.71±0.84)mg/L vs. (1.40±0.69)mg/L ,t＝3.484 ,P＝0.001].The Logistic regression analysis indicated that the proteinuria was an independent risk factor for the progression of kidney function ( OR ＝3.856 ,P＝0.004). Conclusions As the gradually descended of the eGFR level in elderly patients with stage 3-4 CKD ,age ,proteinuria and iPTH gradually ascended ,BMI and serum albumin descended ,respectively. The level of eGFR decreased and CystatinC increased significantly with the increasing age. Proteinuria was an independent risk factor for progression of the kidney function.

ObjectiveTo investigate the infection and genotypes of Wolbachia in Aedes albopictus. MethodsAdult and larval samples of Aedes albopictus were collected from different residential and wild areas from 2020 to 2021， Wolbachia surface protein （wsp） gene was amplified and genotyped for wAlbA and wAlbB by PCR， and sequenced for phylogenetic analysis. The difference of detection rate among different habitats， male and female adult mosquitoes， adult and larvae was compared by χ² analysis. ResultsThe detection rate of Wolbachia in adult and larvae of Aedes albopictus were 43.5% （77/177） and 70.4% （190/270）， respectively， with a statistically significant difference （χ²=32.086，P<0.001）， and wAlbA and wAlbB were mainly detected together. The detection rate of Wolbachia in female and male Aedes albopictus were 50.7% （76/150） and 3.7% （1/27）， respectively， with a statistically significant difference（χ²=20.533，P<0.001）. The detection rate of adult Aedes albopictus in Songjiang wild area， residential area and Hongkou residential area were 91.7% （55/60）， 18.8% （22/117） and 41.7% （30/72）， respectively， with a statistically significant difference （χ²=54.322，P<0.001）. Genotyping and phylogenetic analysis showed that adult and larvae of Aedes albopictus infected with Wolbachia were mainly wAlb A and wAlb B. In addition， some sequences formed clades independently， and the genetic distance from other sequences was relatively large. ConclusionInfection of Wolbachia in Aedes albopictus is relatively common in Songjiang District. The main genotypes are wAlb A and wAlb B and there may be other subtypes， which are worthy of further exploration and research.

The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus aureus were 27.6% and 74.4%, respectively. No glycopeptide- and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci were detected. More than 95% of Staphylococcus aureus were sensitive to rifampicin and SMZco. No vancomycin-resistant Enterococci strains were detected. Extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis were 48.4%, 23.6% and 36.1%, respectively. The prevalence rates of carbapenem-resistance in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 2.3% and 16.1%, respectively; 9.6% of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains were resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam combination. The prevalence rate of carbapenem-resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii was 60.0%, while polymyxin and tigecycline showed good activity against Acinetobacter baumannii. The prevalence rate of carbapenem-resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 23.2%. Conclusions:The surveillance results in 2020 showed that the main pathogens of bloodstream infection in China were gram-negative bacteria, while Escherichia coli was the most common pathogen, and ESBL-producing strains declined while carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae kept on high level. The proportion and the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa were on the rise slowly. On the other side, the MRSA incidence got lower in China, while the overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci was low.

Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). WHONET 5.6 was used to analyze data.Results:During the study period, 11 013 bacterial strains were collected from 51 hospitals, of which 2 782 (25.3%) were Gram-positive bacteria and 8 231 (74.7%) were Gram-negative bacteria. The top 10 bacterial species were Escherichia coli (37.6%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.9%), Staphylococcus aureus (9.8%), coagulase-negative Staphylococci (6.3%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.6%), Enterococcus faecium (3.6%), Acinetobacter baumannii (2.8%), Enterococcus faecalis (2.7%), Enterobacter cloacae (2.5%) and Klebsiella spp (2.1%). The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus aureus were 25.3% and 76.8%, respectively. No glycopeptide- and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci was detected; more than 95.0% of Staphylococcus aureus were sensitive to ceftobiprole. No vancomycin-resistant Enterococci strains were detected. The rates of extended spectrum B-lactamase (ESBL)-producing isolated in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis were 49.6%, 25.5% and 39.0%, respectively. The prevalence rates of carbapenem-resistance in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 2.2% and 15.8%, respectively; 7.9% of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae was resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam combination. Ceftobiprole demonstrated excellent activity against non-ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Aztreonam/avibactam was highly active against carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The prevalence rate of carbapenem-resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii was 60.0%, while polymyxin and tigecycline showed good activity against Acinetobacter baumannii (5.5% and 4.5%). The prevalence of carbapenem-resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 18.9%. Conclusions:The BRICS surveillance results in 2021 shows that the main pathogens of blood stream infection in China are gram-negative bacteria, in which Escherichia coli is the most common. The MRSA incidence shows a further decreasing trend in China and the overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci is low. The prevalence of Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is still on a high level, but the trend is downwards.
