Objective:To explore the expression of programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) in invasive breast cancer and its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics.Methods:A total of 651 paraffin-embedded specimens of newly diagnosed invasive breast cancer patients including 98 cases of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in the Affiliated Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital of Medical School of Nanjing University from January 2018 to August 2019 were collected. The immunohistochemical EnVision method was used to detect the expression of PD-L1 protein in tumor cells of breast invasive cancer and infiltrating lymphocytes. The expression rate of PD-L1 in tumor cells of cancer section tissues and tumor interstitial lymphocytes ≥1% was positive and < 1% was negative.Results:The positive expression rate of PD-L1 expression in breast invasive carcinoma was 47.0% (306/651), among which the positive expression rate of TNBC was 69.3% (68/98). PD-L1 had a high positive expression rate in patients with high World Health Organization (WHO) grade, large tumor size, vascular invasion, advanced pathological stage, negative estrogen receptor (ER) expression, negative progesterone receptor (PR) expression, positive p53, positive CK5/6, positive epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and high Ki-67 value (all P < 0.05). In TNBC, PD-L1 had a high positive expression rate in patients with high WHO grade, invaded nerves, high Ki-67 value, positive CK5/6, and positive EGFR (all P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that WHO grade ( HR = 1.511, 95% CI 1.139-2.003, P = 0.004), Ki-67 value ( HR = 1.847, 95% CI 1.259-2.709, P = 0.002), p53 expression ( HR = 2.083, 95% CI 1.487-2.916, P < 0.01), and EGFR expression ( HR = 3.490, 95% CI 2.002-6.086, P < 0.01) were independent influencing factors of PD-L1 expression. Conclusions:PD-L1 is highly expressed in invasive breast cancer, especially in TNBC. It could be used as a potential treatment target for patients with invasive breast cancer.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of diabetes mellitus complicated by pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods:The clinical data of 83 patients with diabetes mellitus complicated by pulmonary tuberculosis who received treatment in Taiyuan Fourth People's Hospital from March 2020 to March 2022 were collected. These patients were divided into sensitive group ( n = 45) and resistant group ( n = 38 ) according to the results of drug sensitivity test. Univariate and multivariate non-conditional logistic regression was performed to analyze the influential factors of drug resistance. Results:Univariate logistic regression results revealed that there were significant differences in blood CD4 +T lymphocyte count ( χ2 = 11.73, P = 0.001) and diabetic complications ( χ2 = 4.94, P = 0.026). Multivariate non-conditional logistic regression analysis was performed taking whether blood CD4 +T lymphocyte count was lower than the average level and whether patients with diabetes mellitus had complications as independent variables, and taking whether drug resistance was a dependent variable. The results showed that the OR (95% CI) value of the decreased blood CD4 +T lymphocyte count was 4.909 (1.926-12.514). It is a risk factor for drug resistance of diabetes mellitus complicated by pulmonary tuberculosis. Conclusion:The decrease of blood CD4 +T lymphocyte count is a risk factor of drug resistance in diabetes mellitus complicated by pulmonary tuberculosis, and it should be intervened early in the clinic.

Objective To investigate distribution and antimicrobial resistance among nosocomial pathogens from 13 teaching hospitals in China in 2009. Methods Non-repetitive pathogens from nosocomial BSI, HAP and IAI were collected and sent to the central lab for MIC determination by agar dilution method.WHONET5.6 software was used to analyze the data. Results A total of 2 502 clinical isolates were collected. The top three pathogens of BSI were Escherichia coli [27. 1% (285/1 052 )] , coagulase-negutive staphylococcus [12. 6% ( 133/1 052)] and Klebsiella pneumoniae [10. 8% ( 114/1 052)]. The top three pathogens of HAP were Acinetobacter baumannii [28. 8% (226/785)], Pseudomonas aeruginosa [16. 1% (126/785)] and Klebsiella pneumoniae [14.6% (115/785 )] . The top three pathogens of IAI were Escherichia coli[31.0% ( 206/665 )], Klebsiella pneumonia [11.3% ( 75/665 )] and Enterococcus faecium [10. 8% (72/665)]. Against Escherichia coil and Klebsiella spp. , the antimicrobial agents with higher than 80% susceptibility rate included imipenem and meropenem (98. 1%-100% ), tigecycline (95.3%-100% ), piperacillin-tazobactam ( 88.6% -97. 1% ) and amikacin ( 88. 3% -92. 5% ). Against Enterobacter spp. , Citrobacter spp. and Serratia spp. , the susceptibility rates of tigecycline were 93.5% -100% whereas the value of imipenem and meropenem were 92.9% -100%. Other antimicrobial agents with high activity included amikacin ( 85.2% -96. 7% ), pipcracillin-tazobactam ( 82.4% -96.4% ), cefepime ( 79. 6% -96. 7% ) and cefoperazonc-sulbactam (78. 7%-90. 0% ). Polymyxin B showed the highest susceptibility rateagainst Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( 100% ), followed by amikacin ( 81.9% ) and piperacillin-tazobactam (80.1% ). Polymyxin B also showed the highest susceptibility rate against Acinetobacter baumannii (98. 8% ), followed by tigecycline (90. 1% ) and minocycline (72. 0% ). The incidence of carbapenemresistant Acinetobacter baumannii was 60. 1%. The MRSA rate was 60. 2% and the MRSCoN rate was 84. 2%. All Staphylococcus strains were susceptible to tigecycline, vancomycin, teicoplanin and linezolid except for one isolate of Staphylococcus haemolysis with intermediate to teicoplanin. Two Enterococcus faecalis isolates which were intermediate to linezolid and one Enterococcus faecium isolate which was resistant to vancomycin and teicoplanin was found in this surveillance, while the MICs of tigecycline against these three isolates were 0. 032-0. 064 μg/ml. Conclusions Tigecycline, carbapenems, piperacillin-tazobactam,amikacin and cefepime remain relatively high activity against nosocomial Enterobacteriaceae. Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibite high susceptibility to polymyxin B, while Acinetobacter baumanni shows high susceptibility to polymyxin B and tigecycline. Tigecycline, vancomycin, teicoplanin and linezolid remain high activity against nosocomial gram-positive cocci.
