Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of multi-disciplinary treatment (MDT) for reducing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections in intensive care unit(ICU).Methods:Patients admitted in the emergency ICU (EICU) and neurosurgical ICU (NICU) of the First People’s Hospital of Lianyungang during January 2018 to December 2019 were enrolled in the study, which was analyzed by historical control study. For patients admitted in 2018, the conventional method was adopted for prevention and control of drug-resistant bacteria (control group, n=1, 076), and for patients admitted in 2019, the MDT was adopted for the prevention and control of CRE (intervention group, n=1, 237). Chi-square test was used to compare the incidence rate of CRE infection, CRE detection rate, rate of rational antibiotic use and compliance with implementation of prevention and control measures between two groups. Results:Compared to control group, the incidence rate of CRE infection in EICU and NICU decreased from 3.45% (14/406) and 3.58% (24/670) to 1.65% (9/547) and 2.32% (16/690) in intervention group, respectively; while the detection rate of CRE decreased from 66.21% (96/145) and 57.72% (86/149) to 41.11% (51/124) and 33.06% (40/121), the pathogens were mainly carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). The rational medication rate of carbapenem antibiotics was significantly increased from 65.00%(78/120) in 2018 to 92.73%(319/344) in 2019 ( χ2=55.382, P<0.05). In addition, the single room isolation rate, the rate of specialized nursing care, the cleaning and disinfection quality of bench surface and the special use rate of articles were also significantly improved( χ2=21.646, 18.116, 39.869 and 19.713, P<0.01). Conclusion:The establishment of multi-department collaborative management based on MDT can effectively improve the prevention and control effect of CRE in ICU and significantly reduce the prevalence of CRE infection.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of hypoalbuminemia (HA) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large vessel occlusion (LVO) after endovascular mechanical thromboectomy (EMT) and impact on outcomes.Methods:Patients first diagnosed with anterior circulation LVO-AIS and underwent emergency EMT at the Department of Acute Stroke, the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from June 1, 2020 to April 31, 2023 were retrospectively included. According to the first follow-up serum albumin examination after procedure (6-8 d), the patients were divided into HA group (<35 g/L) and non-HA group (≥35 g/L). According to the modified Rankin Scale score at 90 d after EMT, the patients were divided into a good outcome group (0-2) and a poor outcome group (3-6). Univariate and multivariate logistic analysis was used to determine independent risk factors for HA after EMT and their impact on outcomes. Results:A total of 144 patients were enrolled, including 107 males (74.30%) with a median age of 64 years (interquartile range, 56-71 years). There were 50 patients (34.72%) in the HA group and 94 (65.28%) in the non-HA group; 60 (41.67%) in the good outcome group, and 84 (58.33%) in the poor outcome group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (odds ratio [ OR] 1.061, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.014-1.111; P=0.011) and pulmonary infection ( OR 5.136, 95% CI 1.917-13.760; P=0.001) were independent risk factors for HA; HA ( OR 4.345, 95% CI 1.367-13.814; P=0.013), pneumonia ( OR 5.113, 95% CI 1.217-12.528; P=0.026), and onset to reperfusion time ( OR 5.473, 95% CI 1.090-16.05; P=0.038) were independent risk factors for poor outcomes. Conclusions:Age and pulmonary infection are independent risk factors for HA in LVO-ASI patients after EMT, and HA is the independent risk factor for poor outcomes of the patients.

Objective:To investgate the effect of endovascular therapy (EVT) on the requirement for decompressive craniectomy (DC) and functional outcomes in patients with large anterior circulation ischemic stroke.Methods:Patients with large anterior circulation ischemic stroke within 24 hours of onset admitted to the Department of Neurology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University between September 2017 and December 2019 were included. Outcome indicators included DC demand and poor outcome at 3 months. The latter was defined as a modified Rankin Scale score >2. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine independent factors of DC requirement and functional outcomes at 3 months. Results:A total of 381 patients with large anterior circulation ischemic stroke were enrolled, including 203 males (53.3%), and the mean age was 70.7±14.3 years. The median time from onset to admission was 4.5 hours. The median baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 17 and median baseline Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) was 7. Totally 139 patients (36.5%) received EVT, and 64 (16.8%) required DC; 376 patients (98.7%) completed a 3-month follow-up (5 who did not complete follow-up did not require DC, of which 2 received EVT), 312 (83.0%) had poor outcome at 3 months, and 146 (38.8%) died. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that EVT was an independent predictor for the requiremet of DC (odds ratio [ OR] 4.42, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.81-10.81; P=0.001), higher baseline ASPECTS ( OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.71-0.89; P<0.001) and successful recanalization ( OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.15-0.90; P=0.028) were independent protective factors of reducing the requirement of DC. Successful recanalization ( OR 0.09, 95% CI 0.01-0.72; P=0.023) and antiplatelet therapy ( OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.11-0.76; P=0.012) were independent predictors for reduced risk of poor outcome. In 139 patients who received EVT, 27 (19.4%) received intravenous thrombolysis, 96 (69.1%) achieved successful recanalization, 88 (63.3%) had hemorrhagic transformation, 61 (43.9%) had symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation, and 34 (24.5%) required DC; 137 (98.6%) completed a 3-month follow-up, 116 (84.7%) had poor outcome at 3 months, and 67 (48.9%) died. For patients receiving EVT, a higher baseline ASPECTS ( OR 0.72, 95% CI 0.60-0.88; P=0.001) and successful recanalization ( OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.14-0.90; P=0.029) were independent predictors of reducing the requirement of DC, while successful recanalization ( OR 0.09, 95% CI 0.01-0.71; P=0.022) was an independent predictor for reduced risk of poor outcome. Among 64 patients who required DC, 22 (34.4%) received DC. Receiving DC significantly reduced the mortality within 3 months ( OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.07-0.86; P=0.028), but had no significant effect on functional outcome at 3 months ( OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.03-4.38; P=0.412). There was no significant interaction of either EVT or successful recanalization in the effect of DC on 3-month death ( P for interaction > 0.05). Conclusions:Successful recanalization after EVT reduces requirement for DC in patients with large anterior circulation ischemic stroke and improves functional outcome at 3 months. DC can reduce the mortality in patients required DC, and have no interactive effect with EVT or successful recanalization.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between spread through air spaces(STAS) of peripheral stage ⅠA small adenocarcinoma of the lung(≤2 cm) and related factors such as clinical and CT morphological features, and to construct a nomogram model.Methods:Relevant clinical, pathological and imaging data of patients who underwent lung surgery and were diagnosed as peripheral stage ⅠA small lung adenocarcinoma by postoperative pathology in the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from 2017 to 2022 were collected, of which cases that met the inclusion criteria from 2017 to 2021 served as the training group, and those that met the inclusion criteria in 2022 served as the validation group. The independent risk factors for the occurrence of STAS in peripheral stage ⅠA lung small adenocarcinoma were investigated by using univariate analysis and multifactorial logistic regression analysis, based on which a nomogram prediction model was constructed, and the subjects were analyzed by using the receiver operating characteristic curve( ROC), correction model, etc. were used to evaluate the model. Results:A total of 430 patients who met the criteria were included, including 351 patients in the training group(109 STAS-positive and 242 STAS-negative) and 79 patients in the validation group(23 STAS-positive and 56 STAS-negative). Univariate analysis showed that the patients in the two groups showed a significant difference in age(>58 years old), gender, smoking history, tumor location(subpleural, non-subpleural), pleural pull, nodule type, nodule maximal diameter, solid component maximal diameter, consolidation tumor ratio(CTR), lobulation sign, burr sign, bronchial truncation sign, vascular sign(includes thickening and distortion of blood vessels in/around the nodes), satellite lesions, and ground-glass band sign were statistically significant( P<0.05). The results of multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that CTR( OR=4.98, P<0.001), lobulation sign( OR=4.07, P=0.013), burr sign( OR=3.66, P<0.001), and satellite lesions( OR=3.56, P=0.009) were the independent risk factors for the occurrence of STAS. Applying the above factors to construct the nomogram model and validate the model, the results showed that the ROC curve was plotted by the nomogram prediction model, and the area under the ROC curve( AUC) of the training set was 0.840(sensitivity 0.835, specificity 0.734), and the validation set had an AUC value of 0.852(sensitivity 0.786, specificity 0.783), and the training set and validation set calibration curves have good overlap with the ideal curve. Conclusion:CTR, lobular sign, burr sign, and satellite lesions are independent risk factors for STAS, and the nomogram model constructed in this study has good predictive value.

Objective: To explore the effects and molecular mechanism of the selective JAK1inhibitor SHR0302 and Ruxolitinib on myeloproliterative neoplasms (MPN) cell line SET2 and primary cells in vitro. Methods: Cell proliferation was detected by CCK8 kit. Colony forming experiment was conducted to evaluate erythroid burst colony formation unit (BFU-E) of primary cells from MPN patients. Multi-factor kits were used to detect six inflammatory cytokines. Phosphorylated proteins of Jak-Stat signaling pathway were tested by Western blot. Results: At different time points after treated with SHR0302 and Ruxolitinib, the inhibition of cell proliferation was dose dependent by both drugs (P<0.01) . The inhibitory rates of 2.5 μmol/L SHR0302 and 0.1 μmol/L Ruxolitinib on SET2 cells for 72 h were comparable, i.e. (59.94±0.60) % and (64.00±0.66) %, respectively, suggesting that the inhibitory effect of SHR0302 was weaker than that of Ruxolitinib. Similarly, both SHR0302 and Ruxolitinib inhibited BFU-E in primary marrow cells from MPN patients in a dose-dependent manner. SHR0302 1.0 μmol/L produced similar degree of inhibition compared to Ruxolitinib 0.2 μmol/L. Except IL-12, the expression of other 5 cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-8) was significantly inhibited by 1.6 μmol/L SHR0302 in SET2 cells at 24 h (P<0.01) , while Ruxolitinib 1.0 μmol/L had the same effect. Several phosphorylated molecules of Jak-Stat signaling pathway were significantly inhibited by SHR0302 in SET2 cells only for 3 h. P-stat1 (Tyr701) , p-stat3 (Tyr705) were down-regulated when treated with SHR0302 1.0 μmol/L (P<0.05) , p-jak1 (tyr1022/1023) and p-stat5 (Tyr694) were inhibited at 5.0 μmol/L (P<0.05) . Ruxolitinib significantly inhibited the downstream STAT protein at 0.1 μmol/L. Again, the inhibitory effect of SHR0302 on protein expression was weaker than that of Ruxolitinib. Conclusion SHR0302 can effectively inhibit the proliferation of MPN cell line and patients' primary cells, as well as the expression of inflammatory factors. The molecular mechanism is possibly related to the down-regulation of phosphorylated proteins of Jak-Stat signaling pathway. Overall, the anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory effects of SHR0302 are weaker than those of Ruxolitinib.
