Objective To understand the changing composition and antibiotic resistance of bacterial species in the clinical isolates from outpatient and emergency department(hereinafter referred to as outpatients)and inpatient children over time in various hospitals,and to provide laboratory evidence for rational antibiotic use.Methods The data on clinically isolated pathogenic bacteria and antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates from outpatients and inpatient children in the CHINET program from 2015 to 2021 were collected and analyzed.Results A total of 278 471 isolates were isolated from pediatric patients in the CHINET program from 2015 to 2021.About 17.1％of the strains were isolated from outpatients,primarily group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus,Escherichia coli,and Staphylococcus aureus.Most of the strains(82.9％)were isolated from inpatients,mainly SS.aureus,E.coli,and H.influenzae.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA)in outpatients(24.5％)was lower than that in inpatient children(31.5％).The MRSA isolates from outpatients showed lower resistance rates to the antibiotics tested than the strains isolated from inpatient children.The prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis or E.faecium and penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae was low in either outpatients or inpatient children.S.pneumoniae,β-hemolytic Streptococcus and S.viridans showed high resistance rates to erythromycin.The prevalence of erythromycin-resistant group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus was higher in outpatients than that in inpatient children.The prevalence of β-lactamase-producing H.influenzae showed an overall upward trend in children,but lower in outpatients(45.1％)than in inpatient children(59.4％).The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKpn),carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(CRPae)and carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAba)was 14％,11.7％,47.8％in outpatients,but 24.2％,20.6％,and 52.8％in inpatient children,respectively.The prevalence of multidrug-resistant E.coli,K.pneumoniae,Proteus mirabilis,P.aeruginosa and A.baumannii strains was lower in outpatients than in inpatient children.The prevalence of fluoroquinolone-resistant E.coli,ESBLs-producing K.pneumoniae,ESBLs-producing P.mirabilis,carbapenem-resistant E.coli(CREco),CRKpn,and CRPae was lower in children in outpatients than in inpatient children,but the prevalence of CRAba in 2021 was higher than in inpatient children.Conclusions The distribution of clinical isolates from children is different between outpatients and inpatients.The prevalence of MRSA,ESBL,and CRO was higher in inpatient children than in outpatients.Antibiotics should be used rationally in clinical practice based on etiological diagnosis and antimicrobial susceptibility test results.Ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance and prevention and control of hospital infections are crucial to curbing bacterial resistance.

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 explore the application effect of"three-station"teaching rounds in standardized training teach-ing rounds of general surgery residents.Methods 50 trained doctors from the general surgical base from July 2022 to July 2023 were randomly selected and divided into two groups,with 25 patients in each.The observation group used a"three-station"teaching ward round,while the control group used a traditional teaching ward round mode.The exam scores,ward round effects,satisfaction,and experience were compared.Results The total scores of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group(P＜0.05),and the scores of the medical history collection and physical examination in the case anal-ysis test and skill test were significantly higher than those of the control group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the theoretical test scores between the two groups(P＞0.05).The proportion of"Yes"in the questionnaire of the observation group was higher than that of the control group in the aspects of improving the diagnosis and treatment of diseases,clinical think-ing,doctor-patient communication ability and increasing learning interest(P＜0.05).The satisfaction of questionnaire teaching round in the observation group was 84.0％,significantly higher than that in the control group(60.0％)(P＜0.05).In the observation group,the percentages of the attending physicians and the teaching rounds were 64.0％and 68.0％,respectively,which were significantly higher than those of the control group(28.0％and 32.0％,P＜0.05).Conclusion The"three-sta-tion"teaching ward round can improve the exam scores,ward round effectiveness and satisfaction,improve the experience of attending physicians and teaching ward round subjects,and is worth promoting in various resident training bases.

Objective To compare the clinical effects of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) and minimally invasive intramedullary nailing osteosynthesis (MINO) in the treatment of humeral shaft fractures. Methods The clinical data of 53 patients with humeral shaft fractures treated with MIPO and MINO were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into MIPO group of 25 patients and MINO group of 28 patients according to differed surgical approaches. The operation time, blood loss, length of hospital stay, fracture healing time, University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder function score at 1 year postoperatively, and Mayo elbow performance score at 1 year postoperatively were compared between the two groups. Results All 53 patients successfully completed the surgery, and no postoperative complications such as surgical site infection, radial nerve injury, fracture nonunion, implant breakage, or loosening occurred. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of operation time, blood loss, length of hospital stay, fracture healing time, and Mayo elbow performance score at 1 year postoperatively (P>0.05). The UCLA shoulder function score at 1 year postoperatively was better in the MIPO group than in the MINO group (P < 0.05). One patient in the MIPO group experienced wound fat liquefaction, and one patient in the MINO group experienced radial nerve palsy. Conclusion Both MIPO and MINO can achieve satisfactory results in the treatment of humeral shaft fractures, and both minimally invasive techniques are worthy of clinical promotion. However, MIPO has lesser impact on shoulder function.

Objective:To analyze the vaccination recommendations and follow-up for children with special health status.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, 509 children who attended the Consultation Clinic of Vaccination for Special Health Children in Beijing Children′s Hospital from August 2020 to February 2023 were selected, the children were given vaccination planning advice after the assessment. The clinical data were collected, including the general situation, special health conditions, vaccination recommendations and implementation status, occurrence and outcomes of suspected adverse events following immunization (AEFI) after vaccination. The vaccination situation and safety in these children were evaluated.Results:Among the 509 children, the most common special health conditions were cardiovascular system diseases (103 cases), followed by neurological diseases (88 cases) and neonatal problems (82 cases). After comprehensive evaluation and multidisciplinary collaboration, 399 children (78.4%) were recommended to receive vaccination/catch-up vaccination according to the immunization program, 63 children (12.4%) were recommended to receive some vaccines but temporarily suspend others, and 47 children (9.2%) were recommended to temporarily suspend vaccination. A total of 449 children (88.2%) were actually vaccinated, AEFI occurred in 49 children and 45 cases were considered as general reactions.Conclusions:The majority of children with special health status can be vaccinated, and the overall compliance and safety are high. The individualized immunization evaluation model of multidisciplinary collaboration is conducive to the completion of the immunization program of children with special health status.

Objective To screen the biological markers in the assisted detection of childhood Kawasaki disease(KD).Methods A total of 208 children inpatients initially diagnosed as KD in this hospital from Janu-ary 2022 to December 2023 were selected as the KD group,and 208 healthy children undergoing physical ex-amination in this hospital were selected as the control group.Serum C reactive protein(CRP),white blood cells(WBC),platelets(PLT),erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),procalcitonin(PCT),antistreptolysin O(ASO),interleukin-6(IL-6),immunoglobulin IgG,IgA,IgM,IgE,complement C3,C4 and serum ferritin(Fer)in the two groups were detected,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to e-valuate the value of the various biological indexes for diagnosing KD.Results The levels of CRP,WBC,PLT,ESR,IgM,complement C4,Fer,PCT and IL-6 in the KD group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The ROC curve showed that the areas under the curves(AUC)of CRP,WBC,ESR,PCT and IL-6 all were＞0.9,in which,AUC of CRP was 1.000,when 2.25 ng/L was the cut-off value,the sensitivity and specificity were 100.0％.AUC of IL-6 was 0.998,when 6.595 mg/L was the cut-off value,the sensitivity was 97.1％and the specificity was 99.0％.AUC of ESR was 0.987,when 18.50 mm/h was the cut-off value,the sensitivity was 96.0％and the specificity was 99.0％.Conclusion CRP,IL-6 and ESR have the higher diagnostic value for KD.

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.
