Objective To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae ( CRE) isolated from children in China. Methods CRE strains were collected in 10 ter-tiary children's hospitals of China from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2017. Antimicrobial susceptibility of the clinical strains was detected with disk diffusion method ( KB method) and automated method. The re-sults were analyzed according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute ( CLSI) Standards published in 2017. WHONET 5. 6 software was used to retrospectively analyze the distribution characteristics and drug resistance of these strains. Results A total of 3065 CRE clinical strains were isolated from children with an overall prevalence of 7. 7% and among them, 13. 5% were isolated in neonatal group and 5. 8% in non-neo-natal group. The detection rate of CRE in 2017 was higher than that in 2016 (9. 7% vs 5. 7%). Among the 3065 CRE strains, there were 1912 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae (62. 0%), 667 strains of Escherichia coli (22. 0%), 206 strains of Enterobacter cloacae (7. 0%), 56 strains of Klebsiella aerogenes (1. 8%) and 47 strains of Serratia marcescens (1. 5%). Most of the strains were isolate in neonatology departments including neonatal intensive care units (NICU) and intensive care units (ICU), accounting for 44. 8% and 19. 7%, respectively. Respiratory tract (61. 8%), urine (19. 4%) and blood (5. 7%) specimens were the main sources of CRE isolates. Results of antimicrobial susceptibility test showed that the CRE strains were highly resistant to carbapenem antibiotics such as imipenem, meropenem and ertapenem, as well as penicillins and most cephalosporins (79. 6%-100%), especially those isolated in the neonatal group (P<0. 05). Children had relatively low resistance rates to aminoglycosides such as amikacin (19. 7%) and fos-fomycin (11. 9%), fluoroquinolones such as levofloxacin (37. 7%) and ciprofloxacin (43. 3%), and tige-cycline (3. 8%). Currently, no polymyxin B-resistant strains were isolated. Conclusions The prevalence of common CRE strains in children in 2017 was higher than that in 2016, especially in newborns. Drug re-sistance in CRE strains isolated from neonates to common antibiotics was more severe, suggesting that great attention should be paid to it and timely measures should also be taken.

Objective To explore the value of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) histogram analysis for differential diagnosis of prostate cancer and noncancerous foci and the correlation between histogram parameters and Gleason score. Methods Twenty?one patients were retrospectively enrolled in Beijing Hospital from May 2017 to May 2018. All subjects underwent Philips 3.0 T MR scanning. The pathologies were confirmed by in?bore MR?guided biopsy. Finally, 31 lesions were collected (two lesions each from 10 patients), including 15 prostate cancer and 16 noncancerous foci (benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatitis). ROI was drawn manually by two experienced radiologists. All the lesions were measured mean apparent diffusion coefficient (Dapp), mean apparent kurtosis coefficient (Kapp) and their histogram parameters, the averages of two measurements were used to be calculated. The values of these parameters in cancer and noncancerous foci were compared using independent?samples t test. The Spearman test was used to evaluate the correlation of these parameters and Gleason scores of prostate cancer. Results Mean Dapp, 10th Dapp, 25th Dapp, 50th Dapp, 75th Dapp, 90th Dapp, minimum Dapp, maximum Dapp, mean Kapp, 50th Kapp, 75th Kapp, 90th Kapp, maximum Kapp between prostate cancer and noncancerous foci were statistically significant (P<0.05). 90th Kapp (r=0.630, P<0.05) and maximum Kapp (r=0.565, P<0.05) increased with the Gleason scores increasing. Conclusion Histogram analysis of DKI model is valuable for diagnosing and assessing aggressiveness of prostate cancer.

Objective:
To investigate the factors related to severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) with intestine functional disturbance (IFD) and to establish the multiple predictor models of SAP with IFD.
Methods:
Clinical data of consecutive SAP patients admitted to department of gastroenterology of Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2015 to March 2019 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. According to the occurrence of IFD at 48 hours after onset, the patients were divided into IFD group and control group. The clinical indicators within 4 hours after admission were compared between the two groups, and the independent predictive factors for SAP with IFD were screened by single factor analysis and multiple classified Logistic regression analysis. The unweighted predictive score (unwScore) and weighted predictive score (wScore) models were constructed by combining the independent predictors. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of SAP patients with IFD were plotted by independent predictive factors and predictive models, and the clinical predictive effect of each independent predictive index and predictive models were analyzed.
Results:
A total of 149 patients with SAP were enrolled, including 87 males and 62 females, with age of (52.8±18.1) years old. There were 45 patients in IFD group and 104 patients in control group.Univariate analysis and multiple classified Logistic regression analysis showed that high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (SCr), serum calcium (Ca), procalcitonin (PCT) and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were independent predictive factors of SAP with IFD. The ROC curve was used to calculate the cut-off value of the above indexes to predict IFD, and unwScore model was established. The cut-off score of IFD prediction by the unwScore model was 3 points, and the probability of IFD increased with the increase of the score. The area under ROC curve (AUC) of unwScore was 0.944, the sensitivity was 95.6%, the specificity was 94.2%, the positive predictive value (PPV) was 87.8%, and the negative predictive value (NPV) was 98.0%. The binary Logistic regression analysis of hs-CRP, BUN, Ca, SCr, PCT and NLR were carried out, and wScore model was established. The AUC of wScore was 0.959, the sensitivity was 95.9%, the specificity was 96.2%, the PPV was 91.5%, and the NPV was 98.1%; predictive value was superior to each independent index and unwScore model.
Conclusions
hs-CRP, BUN, SCr, Ca, PCT and NLR were independent predictive factors of SAP with IFD. The multiple predictor models of SAP with IFD have a good predictive efficiency which may provide valuable clinical reference for prediction and treatment.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy of respiratory allergic diseases in children treated by nasal atomization of budesonide combined with 3% hypertonic saline. Methods Children diagnosed as upper air-way cough syndrome or mild to moderate asthma without being controlled by anti-asthma treatment were included in the study.They contracted with complications of nasal congestion and/or running noseand other symptoms,and na-sal CT confirmed the nasal lesions.Thirty children undergoing conventional treatment(conventional drug therapy+keeping away from allergen)were defined as the control group. 89 children treated with nasal spray therapy(con-ventional drug therapy + keeping away from allergen + nasal spray treatment)were defined as the therapy group. The treatment group was subdivided into IgE-mediated group and non-IgE-mediated group according to IgE level. The treatment course was 7 days.The clinical symptoms score,nasal symptom visual scale(VAS),peak expirato-ry flow(PEF)index were observed and analyzed. Results The clinical symptom score and nasal VAS showed a decreasing trend and the percentage of PEF showed an increasing trend in the two groups within 1 week after treat-ment.The clinical symptom score and nasal VAS score of the treatment group were significantly lower than those of the control group,while the PEF%value was significantly higher.The difference in treatment method was interact-ed with the treatment time(P<0.05).The percentage of PEF in the non-IgE-mediated group was significantly high-er than that of IgE-mediated group 1 week after treatment(P < 0.05). Conclusion The nasal atomization of budesonide combined with hypertonic saline in the treatment of children with respiratory allergic diseases is effec-tive and of a good clinical value.

Objective: To examine endoscopic features of early colorectal carcinomas smaller than 2 cm. Methods: A total of 191 pa-tients (201 early colorectal carcinomas) who were definitely diagnosed with early colorectal cancer smaller than 2 cm between Janu-ary 2014 and December 2017 in Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University were enrolled. The patients'clinical characteris-tics, endoscopic and pathological data were retrospectively analyzed. Results: There were more male patients than female patients (1.81:1) in the study population; distribution of lesions was higher in the left colon than in the right colon (141/201). Group 1 had a higher number of IIa lesions (20/67, P=0.037) and a lower number of Ip lesions than Group 2 (52/134, P<0.01). Conclusions: There are special characteristics in distribution and endoscopic manifestations of early colorectal carcinoma. Lesion size was less than 1 cm in 67 (191 cases of early colorectal cancer) early colorectal carcinoma cases; however, a high-risk adenoma is defined as a lesion larger than 1 cm in size. Therefore, regardless of lesion size, if fractionation, echinodermata, congestion, erosion, expansion, and depression are observed, the lesion should be assessed in detail for the sake of carcinogenesis.
