Objective To investigate the changing antibiotic resistance profiles of E.coli isolated from patients in the 52 hospitals participating in the CHINET program from 2015 to 2021.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested for clinical isolates of E.coli according to the unified protocol of CHINET program.WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 20.0 software were used for data analysis.Results Atotal of 289 760 nonduplicate clinical strains ofE.coli were isolated from 2015 to 2021,mainly from urine samples(44.7±3.2)％.The proportion of E.coli strains isolated from urine samples was higher in females than in males(59.0％vs 29.5％).The proportion of E.coli strains isolated from respiratory tract and cerebrospinal fluid samples was significantly higher in children than in adults(16.7％vs 7.8％,0.8％vs 0.1％,both P＜0.05).The isolates from internal medicine department accounted for the largest proportion(28.9±2.8)％with an increasing trend over years.Overall,the prevalence of ESBLs-producing E.coli and carbapenem resistant E.coli(CREco)was 55.9％and 1.8％,respectively during the 7-year period.The prevalence of ESBLs-producing E.coli was the highest in tertiary hospitals each year from 2015 to 2021 compared to secondary hospitals.The prevalence of CREco was higher in children's hospitals compared to secondary and tertiary hospitals each year from 2015 to 2021.The prevalence of ESBLs-producing E.coli in tertiary hospitals and children's hospitals and the prevalence of CREco in children's hospitals showed a decreasing trend over the 7-year period.The prevalence of CREco in secondary and tertiary hospitals increased slowly.Antibiotic resistance rates changed slowly from 2015 to 2021.Carbapenem drugs(imipenem,meropenem)were the most active drugs amongβ-lactams against E.coli(resistance rate≤2.1％).The resistance rates of E.coli to β-lactam/β-lactam inhibitor combinations(piperacillin-tazobactam,cefoperazone-sulbactam),aminoglycosides(amikacin),nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin(for urinary isolates only)were all less than 10％.The resistance rate of E.coli strains to antibiotics varied with the level of hospitals and the departments where the strains were isolated,especially for cefazolin and ciprofloxacin,to which the resistance rate of E.coli strains from children in non-ICU departments was significantly lower than that of the strains isolated from other departments(P＜0.05).The E.coli isolates from ICU showed higher resistance rate to most antimicrobial agents tested(excluding tigecycline)than the strains isolated from other departments.The E.coli strains isolated from tertiary hospitals showed higher resistance rates to the antimicrobial agents tested(excluding tigecycline,polymyxin B,cefepime and carbapenems)than the strains from secondary hospitals and children's hospitals.Conclusions E.coli is an important pathogen causing clinical infection.More than half of the clinical isolates produced ESBL.The prevalence of CREco is increasing in secondary and tertiary hospitals over the 7-year period even though the overall prevalence is still low.This is an issue of concern.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of the clinical isolates from wound pus in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021.Methods All the bacterial strains were isolated from wound pus samples from 2015 to 2021.The isolates were identified according to conventional methods.Antimicrobial susceptibility test was conducted by disk diffusion method or commercial automated susceptibility testing systems according to CHINET-specified uniform protocol.The results are interpreted according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) breakpoints (2021 Edition).Results A total of 90856 bacterial strains were isolated from wound pus samples from 2015 to 2021,of which gram positive bacteria accounted for 36.0％ (32729/90856) and gram negative bacteria accounted for 64.0％ (58127/90856).The most common bacterial species were Escherichia coli,Staphylococcus aureus,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and Enterococcus.About 88.9％ of these strains were isolated from inpatients and 11.1％ from outpatients.The strains collected from surgery department and internal medicine accounted for (53.4±3.6)％ (49191/90856) and (9.6±1.0)％ (8960/90856) on average over the 7-year period.E.coli showed low level resistance to carbapenems (1.1％).The prevalence of ESBLs-producing E.coli was 51.1％.More than 35％ of the E.coli isolates were resistant to cefotaxime,ciprofloxacin,and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.The prevalence of ESBLs-producing K.pneumoniae was 29.7％.The prevalence of imipenem-resistant and meropenem-resistant K.pneumoniae varied from 2015 to 2021,but reached the peak level (12.5％ and 12.7％) in 2020.However,other Enterobacterales species showed low resistance rates to carbapenems.The prevalence of ESBLs-producing Klebsiella oxytoca and Proteus was 18.3％ and 32.5％,respectively.About 13.1％ and 10.6％ of P.aeruginosa isolates were resistant to imipenem and meropenem,respectively.However,71.1％ and 72.4％ of A.baumannii isolates were resistant to imipenem and meropenem,respectively.The overall prevalence of MRSA was 22.7％ in wound pus samples over the 7-year period.Three vancomycin-resistant strains and 122 linezolid-resistant isolates were identified in Enterococcus faecalis.Thirty-one vancomycin-resistant strains and 11 linezolid-resistant strains were detected in Enterococcus faecium.Conclusions The overall prevalence of MRSA,vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE),linezolid-resistant Enterococcus (LRE),ESBLs-producing Enterobacterales,and carbapenem-resistant organisms (CRO) in the isolates from wound pus samples was relatively lower than the corresponding prevalence in the total clinical isolates collected in the CHINET program.This finding suggests that the antimicrobial resistance profile of bacterial isolates may vary with the source of clinical samples.Therefore,we should strengthen the antimicrobial resistance surveillance for the isolates from different sites of infection.

Oocyte maturation defect is an extremely rare primary infertility, which is characterized by ovum development arrest, oocyte complete fertilization failure, oocyte apoptosis before and after fertilization, and early embryonic development arrest. This case explored the genetic etiology of a primary infertility patient, who had no mature oocyte after two cycles of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. Peripheral blood samples of the patient were collected for whole exome sequencing, the suspected pathogenic variants were screened by bioinformatics and verified by sanger sequencing on the patient and her parents. Results showed that the patient was found to harbor homozygous variant of the PATL2 gene, namely c.1363C>T (p.Gln455*). Sanger sequencing has verified that the parents are both heterozygous. The mutation of c.1363C>T is a rare pathogenic mutation that had not yet been recorded in HGMD database. In this case, PATL2 gene mutation can cause oocyte maturation arrest, it is recommended to use whole exome sequencing and genetic counseling as soon as possible for these patients, so as to select appropriate treatment.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and the mechanism of amitriptyline on sepsis-induced kidney injury.Methods 48 male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into six groups:sham group,sham + saline group,sham + amitriptyline group,sepsis group,sepsis + saline group,sepsis + amitriptyline group.Sepsis model was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP).Sham group did not undergo CLP.Amitriptyline were injected subcutaneously to rats with amitriptyline 3 mg/kg before treatment for 10 d,2 times/d,while the control group was injected with the same amount of normal saline.Blood sample was obtained to detect serum level of acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase),ceramide,blood urea nitrogen (BUN),creatinine and interleukin-1β.Malondialdehyde in kidney tissue was determined,and Kidney hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining was performed to observe pathologic change.Another 48 rats were randomly divided into four groups:sham group,sepsis group,sepsis + saline group,sepsis + amitriptyline group.The intervention to each group were same as above description.Rats of the four groups were observed for seven days to determine the survival rate.Results The survival rate of rats in sham group were 100％,the survival rate of the sepsis group and the sepsis + physiological saline group was less than 20％,while the survival rate of the sepsis + amitriptyline group was ＞ 50％.The serum concentration of IL-1β,ceramide,BUN,SCr,the activity of ASMase and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in kidney tissue were respectively increased in sepsis group,sepsis + saline group and sepsis + amitriptyline group at the 4 time points were significantly higher than the sham groups (P ＜0.01),these indexes in sepsis plus amitriptyline group were significantly decreased compared to sepsis group (P ＜ 0.01).There was no pathologic change in sham group,sham + saline group and sham + amitriptyline group.In sepsis group and sepsis + saline group,general degeneration and necrosis of renal proximal tubular epithelial cells,marked dilatation of renal tubular capsular space,extensive infiltration of inflammatory cells and hemorrhage in renal interstitium were observed.These pathologic changes were obviously reduced in sepsis + amitriptyline group compared with sepsis group.Conclusions Amitriptyline can alleviate sepsis-induced kidney injury,through inhibiting the activity of ASMase and then restraining inflammatory response and oxidative stress in renal tissues.

Objective To explore the effect of dressing techniques under Orem self-care theory on the ability of daily living of stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods About 96 stroke patients with hemiplegia were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, 48 cases in each group. The patients in the experimental group received training on dressing techniques under Orem self-care theory, while those in the control group received routine training on dressing techniques.The daily life ability of both groups was comfared. Result After one month, the Barthel scores in the experimental group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Dressing techniques under Orem self-care theory can improve the ability of daily living of stroke patients with hemiplegia.

Objective:To observe the effect of blood glucose lfuctuation and the sustained high blood glucose on renal pathological change and collagen IV (Col IV) expression in diabetic rats.
Methods:hTe 60 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned into a normal control group (NC) and a model group (DM). hTe rats in the normal control group were fed with normal diet, while the rats in the model group were fed with high-sucrose-high-fat diet for 6 weeks. Atfer that,streptozocin (STZ, 30 mg/kg) was injected to induce diabetic model. The model group was then randomly divided into 2 subgroups:a sustained high blood glucose group and a fluctuation blood glucose group (animals in the latter group were subcutaneously injected with insulin twice daily). Rats were sacriifced atfer 3 months and kidney tissues were dissected for HE and PAS staining, Col IV immunohistochemistry and Western blot.
Results:Compared with the normal control group, the renal glomeruli and capillary basal membrane in the diabetic rats was getting larger and thicker, respectively;the capsular space and ground substance was extended and increased, respectively;the volume of renal tubule, kidney hypertrophy index, glomeruler sclerosis index and Col IV content were all increased in the diabetic rats (P<0.01). Compared with the sustained high blood glucose group, the above mentioned pathological changes were more serious in the blood glucose lfuctuation group.
Conclusion:The capillary basal membrane of kidney in diabetic rats is thicker and the ground substance is increased. The degree of glomeruler sclerosis is more serious in the blood glucose lfuctuation group compared with the sustained high blood glucose group, which is conifrmed by the increased level of Col IV.

Objective To evaluate the value of angled insonation technique in obtaining the volumes of the fetal palate and in three-dimensional post-processing.Methods Five hundred and sixty-six cases of 20~28 weeks fetuses with normal face were confirmed by systemic ultrasound examinations and post-natal examination.The volumes in the standard midsagittal plane and angled midsagittal plane were obtained,then post-processed these data by 4D-View software.The same technology was used for volume data acquisition and processing to 1 case of cleft lip and palate fetal.Results In 566 fetuses,two groups of volume data were successfully acquired in 458 cases (standard midsagittal plane group) and 411 cases (angled midsagittal plane group).Fetal primary palate in the standard group and the angled group can be both well visualized(100%).Axial plane of hard palate can not be reconstructed in the standard group.Only 36% of the fetal hard palate's coronal plane and transoral oblique coronal plane can be reconstructed.The visualization rate of soft palate was 87% in the standard group,which was slightly higher than the angled group (82%).The visualization rate of hard palate's axial plane,coronal plane and transoral oblique coronal plane was 100% respectively in the angled group.Cleft alveolar process involving the secondary palate can be clearly visualized in 1 case of cleft lip and palate fetus.Conclusions By using the angled insonation technique,which is based on clearly visualizing secondary palate to obtain volumes,using three-dimensional post-processing technique can obtain the conventional three orthogonal planes and any other section of the whole palate.By using it we can assess the integrity of fetal palate,diagnose cleft lip with or without cleft palate and classify the cleft palate,even make prenatal diagnosis of the isolated cleft palate possible.
