Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.

Objective:This study aimed to evaluate whether intra-articular delivery of conditioned medium(CM)derived from stem cells of human exfoliated deciduous teeth(SHED)could influence the progression of condylar cartilage degeneration in a rat model of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis(TMJ OA).Methods:Sixty 8-week-old male SD rats were randomly divided into control group(CON group),intraarticular injection of MIA induced TMJ OA model group(MIA group),and injection of SHED condi-tioned medium 1 week after MIA modeling for treatment group(SHED-CM group),with 20 animals in each group.Histological sec-tions,HE,Safranine O-solid green staining,Col Ⅱ immunohistochemical staining,and TUNEL staining were performed 2 and 4 weeks after the start of treatment.Western blotting and RT-qPCR were used to detect the key molecules of apoptosis,cleaved-CASP3,BAX and BCL2,pro-inflammatory related factors IL-1β,IL-6,TNFα,MMP3,ADAMTS5,and the MAPK pathway-related molecules p-ERK,ERK,p-P38 and P38.Results:Compared with the CON group and SHED-CM group,the condyle chondrocytes in the MIA group had disordered arrange-ment,interrupted layers,significantly thickened fibrous layers(P＜0.001),and significantly increased Mankin's OA histological score(P＜0.001).In the MIA group,both the Safranin O-positive area ratio and the proportion of ColⅡ-positive regions were markedly reduced compared with the CON and SHED-CM groups(P＜0.001).Conversely,the proportion of TUNEL-positive cells was substantially higher than in the other two groups(both P＜0.001).Western blot analysis further demonstrated that apoptotic markers(cleaved-CASP3,BAX/BCL2)and MAPK pathway-related proteins(p-ERK,ERK,p-P38,P38)were expressed at significantly elevated levels in the MIA group relative to CON and SHED-CM groups(BAX/BCL2:P＜0.05;cleaved-CASP3:P＜0.01;p-P38/P38:P＜0.001;p-ERK/ERK:P＜0.01).Similarly,qRT-PCR revealed upregulated expression of inflammatory mediators,including IL-1 β(P＜0.001),IL-6(P＜0.01),TNFα(P＜0.01),MMP3(P＜0.001),and ADAMTS5(P＜0.05),in the MIA group compared with the CON and SHED-CM groups.Conclusion:SHED-CM treatment can ef-fectively reverse MIA-induced condylar cartilage degeneration of TMJ OA in rats.

The blue fluorescent carbon dots(TMCDs)and cyan fluorescent carbon dots(TMCDs-H2O)were synthesized fromm-phenylenediamine and tricarballylic acid through air-assisted melting polymerization and one-step hydrothermal method,respectively.Air purging could effectively inhibit the side reactions and reduce the derivative structures in the carbon dots product.The structure and morphology of these two materials were systematically characterized using liquid nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(NMR),mass spectrometry(MS),and transmission electron microscopy.Compared to TMCDs-H2O((3.12±0.63)nm),TMCDs showed a smaller average particle size(approximately(1.85±0.02)nm).The NMR and MS analysis revealed that although the main structure of both types of carbon dots was similar,TMCDs exhibited a simpler structure with higher degree of polymerization.These results suggested that supramolecular interactions might introduce numerous small molecule derivatives into TMCDs-H2O particles,resulting in lower polymerization degree,multiple substructures,and larger particle size characteristics for this material.When employed as chemical sensors for metal ion detection,in the linear range of 1×10-5-5×10-4 mol/L,the detection limits of Fe3+by TMCDs and TMCDs-H2O were 3.3×10-6 mol/L and 3.8×10-6 mol/L,respectively.The experimental results demonstrated that the recoveries of CDs and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer(ICP-OES)were similarity,whereas TMCDs displayed a considerable relative standard deviation.This study demonstrated that endogenously derived structures in CDs could enhance the performance of metal ion sensing.

Objective To investigate the effects of Nel-like type 1 molecule(NELL-1)on the proliferation and osteogenic differenti-ation of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth(SHEDs).Methods SHEDs was isolated,cultured,and identified.The third generation SHEDs were used for subsequent experiments.SHEDs were divided into 4 groups,and NELL-1 was added to each group at concentrations of 0(control group),50,100,and 200 ng/mL.Cell activity was measured by CCK-8 assay and crystal violet staining.The changes in osteogenic ability were detected by alkaline phosphatase activity.The expression levels of osteogenesis-related genes ALP,OCN and Runx-2 by RT-qPCR were detected.Western blot was used to detect the expression of osteogenesis-related pro-teins ALP,Runx-2 and Col-Ⅰ.Results SHEDs exhibited stem cell characteristics,and 50 ng/mL of NELL-1 protein had a promo-ting effect on SHEDs proliferation(P＜0.01).Alkaline phosphatase activity assay showed that after the addition of NELL-1,the osteo-genic effect of each group was better than that of the control group and 50 ng/mL of NELL-1 was the best(P＜0.05).RT-qPCR and Western blot results showed that 50 ng/mL of NELL-1 significantly promoted the expression of osteoblast-related genes including ALP,OCN and Runx-2 and the protein expression of ALP,Runx-2 and Col-Ⅰ(P＜0.05).Conclusion NELL-1 can promote the prolifera-tion and osteogenic differentiation of SHEDs.

Acute lateral ankle sprain (ALAS) is one of the most common sport injuries, with high incidence, recurrence and disability rates. Currently, exercise rehabilitation-based non-surgical treatment is the primary management approach for ALAS. However, there remain improper practices such as excessive immobilization or uncontrolled activity, which contribute to recurrent sprains and chronic ankle instability, significantly impairing patients′ athletic function and quality of life. To standardize the non-surgical management of ALAS, improve the cure rates, and reduce the recurrence and disability rates, Chinese Sports Rehabilitation Medicine Training Project of Chinese Medical Association, Foot and Ankle Basics and Orthopedics Group, Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Sports Medicine Branch of Jiangsu Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate Expert consensus on non-surgical treatment for acute lateral ankle sprain ( version 2025), following the principles of scientific vigor, practicality, and innovation. Thirteen recommendations were proposed for standardized treatment protocols across different healing phases, aiming to provide references for standard management of ALAS and improve the therapeutic outcomes.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.

Objective:To observe any therapeutic effect of repeated high-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on patients with medication overuse headache (MOH).Methods:Fifty-seven persons with MOH were divided at random into a control group of 29 cases and an rTMS group of 28 cases. Both groups of patients stopped taking analgesics and were treated with topiramate and trazodone. The rTMS group received an additional 20 minutes of rTMS treatment daily, 5 days a week for 8 consecutive weeks. The control group received sham stimulation. Before and after the treatment, both groups′ headache symptoms, disability, depression, anxiety, cognition and sleep quality were evaluated using a visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, a migraine disability assessment scale (MIDAS), the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), the Hamilton depression scale (HAMD), the Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). Auditory event-related potential P300 was also measured for both groups.Results:After the treatment, the average VAS, MIDAS, HAMD, HAMA and PSQI scores of both groups had decreased significantly. The HAMD, HAMA and PSQI average scores of the rTMS group were then significantly better than the control group′s averages. The average MoCA score of the rTMS group had also improved significantly. The average latency of the auditory event-related potential P300 in the rTMS group was then (368.25±9.25)ms and its amplitude was (6.62±1.40)μV, showing significant improvement compared to before the treatment and compared with the control group.Conclusions:On the basis of oral administration of topiramate and trazodone, additional high-frequency rTMS treatment can significantly alleviate anxiety and depression in MOH patients, and improve their sleep quality and the latency and amplitude of event-related potential P300.

Humanistic caring for patients in the operating room refers to providing the whole process of caring medical services for patients in the operating room. In order to standardize humanistic caring services for patients in the operating room of medical institutions, improve the comprehensive service level of the operating room, and enhance the surgical experience of patients, the Chinese Association for Life Care released the group standard " Humanistic Caring Management Standards for Patients in the Operating Room" in December 2023. This article interpreted the basic requirements for humanistic caring of patients in the operating room, the environment and facilities for humanistic caring, the procedures and measures for humanistic caring, and the quality management framework, aiming to assist administrators and clinical practitioners across various levels of medical institutions in accurately understanding and effectively implementing the standard, and to provide essential textual reference and practical guidance for promoting the application of the standard.
