ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical characteristics of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in neonates.MethodsFrom July 2010 to July 2015, seven neonates were diagnosed with IBD in Affiliated BaYi Children's Hospital, Clinical Medical College in Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital, Southern Medical University. The data regarding these neonatal cases were analyzed and compared with 45 children with IBD from literature. Thet-test andChi-square test were used for statistical analysis of the data.ResultsSix cases had ulcerative colitis, and one case had Crohn's disease, both occurred 2-20 days after birth, and were characterized by diarrhea, no increase in body weight, anemia and intermittent higher hypersensitive C-reactive protein. Compared with IBD in children, abdominal pain and abdominal mass were rarer, while anemia was more common in neonatal IBD. All fecal cultures and blood cultures in the seven cases of neonatal IBD were negative. Abdominal X-ray revealed intestinal wall thickening in four cases. Multiple ulcers were observed from the cecum to the rectum by colonoscopy. Chronic intestinal mucosal inflammation associated with acute inflammation were found on pathological examination. Six infants received treatment with 5-aminosalicylic acid (combined with glucocorticoid in four cases), and one received glucocorticoid treatment only. One infant was started on infliximab treatment from two years old. One of these seven cases died one month after discharge due to refusal to continue treatment, and the disease was controlled in the other six cases. After treatment, one infant was lost to follow-up six months after discharge, two were cured at six and 12 months old without further treatment, and three improved and continued treatment.ConclusionsIn neonates with diarrhea, anemia and no increase in body weight, especially when antibiotic treatment is ineffective, colonoscopy should be performed to facilitate early diagnosis of IBD. Standard treatments result in good outcomes.

Objective To study the effects of efflux pump inhibitors(CCCP and PAβN)on carbapenems in Pseudomonas aernginosa(P.aeruginosa)clinical isolates and investigate the association between the resistance to imipenem or meropenem and expression levels of efflux pumps of P.aeruginosa.Methods MICs of imipenem or meropenem combined with efflux pump inhibitors including carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone(CCCP,107 strains)and Phe-Arg-β-naphthylamide(PAβN,71 strains)against imipenem-resistant strains were determined by agar dilution method,and changes of MICs were observed.For 32 strains with different resistant phenotypes to imipenem and meropenem,the mRNA expression levels of three efflux pump genes(mexA,mexD and mexF)were quantified by real time fluorescent quantitative PCR.Results The resistance rate of imipenem and meropenem didn't prove any significant difference in the presence of efflux pump inhibitors.The X2 value of imipenem combined with CCCP and PAβN were 0.338 and 0.086,respectively(P＞0.05),while that of meropenem combined with CCCP and PAβN were 1.065 and 1.458(P＞0.05).No significant in MICs of carbapenems were seen in over half of P. aeruginesa isolates. MICs of carbapenems was significantly downregulated for 4-fold or above in eight isolates. Overexpression of efflux pumps genes were present in 24 of 27 carbapenem-resistant isolates(88. 9% ). Efflux pumps genes including MexAB-OprM, MexCD-OprJ and MexEF-OprN were all overexpressed in 13 isolates,constituting 54. 2% of all carbapenem-resistant isolates. There were 3 isolates in which beth MexAB-OprM and MexCD-OprJ showed overexpression,constituting 12. 5%. Also,MexAB-OprM and MexEF-OprN overexpressed in 3 isolates. There were 2 isolates (8.3%) showing MexEF-OprN overexpression and MexAB-OprM alone. MexCD-OprJ didn't showed overexpression alone. Furthermore,the expression levels of efflux pumps genes mexA,mexD and mexF in isolates susceptible to both in imipenem and meropenem were 0. 48±0. 48,0. 48±0. 53 and 0. 30±0. 41,respectively,which were much lower than that in carbapenem-resistant ones (P＜0. 05 ). MexA gene was expressed at a higher level in meropenemresistant isolates than meropenem-susceptible ones (P＜0. 05 ). Conclusions When the concentration of CCCP and PAβN were 5 μg/ml and 20 μg/ml respectively,the efforts on the carhapenems resistance of P.aeruginosa were small Overexpression of MexAB-OprM might play an important role in meropenemresistance in P. aerugines. Overexpression of MexCD-OprJ and MexEF-OprN was associated with imipenemresistance. However,the relationship between them and meropenem-resistance need to be explored in the future.

Objective: To analyze the teaching environment of primary, middle and high schools in Suzhou, and to explore the relevance of students’ myopia with teaching environment, as well as the key problems in teaching environment. Methods: 1 253 classrooms in 204 schools rom 10 districts and counties in Suzhou were selected by proportionate stratified sampling. The qualified rate of each indices was described and the teaching environment by county, learning stage were compared by using chi-squared test. The Spearman test is used to explore correlations between myopia with monitoring indicators. Results: The qualified rate of the distance from lamp to table was the highest (98.56%), while matching rate of student desk and chair was the lowest(0.96%). Minimum lamp table spacing, blackboard average illumination, reflectance from blackboard wall, classroom per capita area, classroom microclimate differed significantly in urban and rural (P<0.05); daylighting coefficient, reflectance from walls, average illumination of desktop and blackboard, classroom per capita area, and microclimate indicator were statistically different by learning stages(r=0.42,P<0.05). Prevalence of myopia correlated with the index of lighting. Conclusion Qualified desks and matched chairs, as well as the daylighting design in classroom should receive more attention in Suzhou. The findings lend support to identification of key health priorities and formulation of the localized health practice for health administrations.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of lipoproteins on the progression of critically ill patients to chronic critical illness (CCI).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze clinical data of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2022. The levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and apolipoproteins (ApoA-Ⅰ, ApoB) at 1, 3, 7, 14 and 21 days after admission to ICU were collected. The progression to CCI was recorded. CCI was defined as the length of ICU stay ≥14 days with sustained organ dysfunction [sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score ≥2]. Differences in lipoprotein levels between the patients with and without CCI were compared. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze risk factors for critically ill patients progressing to CCI. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of lipoproteins on critically ill patients progressing to CCI.Results:A total of 200 patients were enrolled in the final analysis. 137 patients (68.5%) progressed to CCI, and 63 patients (31.5%) did not. The lipoprotein indicators in the CCI group showed a decrease after the acute phase, while the lipoprotein indicators in the non-CCI group showed an increase. The levels of HDL, LDL, ApoA-Ⅰ, and ApoB at various time points in the CCI group were significantly lower than those in the non-CCI group. HDL at 7 days in the CCI group was significantly lower than that in the non-CCI group [mmol/L: 0.44 (0.31, 0.61) vs. 0.67 (0.49, 0.75), P < 0.01]. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that 7-day HDL was an independent risk factor for critically ill patients progressing to CCI [odds ratio ( OR) = 0.033, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.004-0.282, P = 0.002]. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 7-day HDL for predicting critically ill patients progressing to CCI was 0.702, with a 95% CI of 0.625-0.779, P < 0.001. When the optimal cut-off value was 0.59 mmol/L, the sensitivity was 69.8%, and the specificity was 72.4%. Conclusions:The low level of lipoproteins is closely related to the progression of critically ill patients, and 7-day HDL has a certain predictive value for critically ill patients progressing to CCI. Continuously observation of the change trend of lipoprotein level is helpful to judge the progression of CCI in critically ill patients.

OBJECTIVE To compare the short-term therapeutic effect and safety of bevacizumab versus anlotinib respectively combined with chemotherapy drug in the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors （EGFR-TKI） acquired resistant advanced lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS The information of 84 patients with EGFR-TKI acquired resistant advanced lung adenocarcinoma in the Third People’s Hospital of Chengdu was analyzed retrospectively during Jun. 2019-Oct. 2021. The patients were divided into chemotherapy group （32 cases）， anlotinib combined chemotherapy group （24 cases） and bevacizumab combined chemotherapy group （28 cases）. Patients in the chemotherapy group were given Pemetrexed disodium for injection and Carboplatin injection， and symptomatic treatment was given for adverse reactions. On the first day of chemotherapy， patients in the anlotinib combined chemotherapy group received Anlotinib hydrochloride capsules 10 mg orally， once a day， for 14 consecutive days and 7 days of discontinuation， based on the treatment of the chemotherapy group. Patients in the bevacizumab combined chemotherapy group were given Bevacizumab injection of 15 mg/kg intravenously 1 day before chemotherapy， based on the treatment of the chemotherapy group. Three groups of patients were treated for a total of four cycles， with one cycle every three weeks. The overall response rate （ORR）， disease control rate （DCR）， median progression-free survival （mPFS）， and the changes of serum tumor markers were compared among three groups before and after treatment； meanwhile， the occurrence of adverse drug reactions was recorded， and the 1-year survival rate was followed up. RESULTS After 4 treatment cycles， ORR and DCR of bevacizumab combined chemotherapy group and anlotinib combined chemotherapy group were higher than chemotherapy group （P＜0.05）； mPFS of the two groups were significantly longer than chemotherapy group， and DCR of anlotinib combined chemotherapy group was significantly higher than bevacizumab combined chemotherapy group （P＜0.05）. After 4 treatment cycles， the serum levels of tumor markers in three groups were significantly lower than before treatment， and both combined chemotherapy groups were significantly lower than chemotherapy group （P＜0.05）. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions such as nausea， vomiting， bone marrow suppression， and 1-year survival rate among the three groups of patients （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Bevacizumab and anlotinib combined with chemotherapy drug are effective and safe in the treatment of advanced lung adenocarcinoma with acquired EGFR-TKI resistance.
