Objective To understand the changing distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Proteus,Morganella and Providencia in hospitals across China from January 1,2015 to December 31,2021 in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out following the unified CHINET protocol.The results were interpreted in accordance with the breakpoints in the 2021 Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)M100(31 st Edition).Results A total of 32 433 Enterobacterales strains were isolated during the 7-year period,including 24 160 strains of Proteus,6 704 strains of Morganella,and 1 569 strains of Providencia.The overall number of these Enterobacterales isolates increased significantly over the 7-year period.The top 3 specimen source of these strains were urine,lower respiratory tract specimens,and wound secretions.Proteus,Morganella,and Providencia isolates showed lower resistance rates to amikacin,meropenem,cefoxitin,cefepime,cefoperazone-sulbactam,and piperacillin-tazobactam.For most of the antibiotics tested,less than 10％of the Proteus and Morganella strains were resistant,while less than 20％of the Providencia strains were resistant.The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE)was 1.4％in Proteus isolates,1.9％in Morganella isolates,and 15.6％in Providencia isolates.Conclusions The overall number of clinical isolates of Proteus,Morganella and Providencia increased significantly in the 7-year period from 2015 to 2021.The prevalence of CRE strains also increased.More attention should be paid to antimicrobial resistance surveillance and rational antibiotic use so as to prevent the emergence and increase of antimicrobial resistance.

Objective:To explore the behavioral intentions of pediatric nurses towards using vascular visualization devices in light of the theory of planned behavior.Methods:This was a qualitative study. From March to November 2023, 20 pediatric nurses from Peking University First Hospital were selected using purposive sampling for semi-structured interviews. The interview data were analyzed and themes were extracted using Colaizzi 7-step analysis method.Results:The behavioral intentions of pediatric nurses towards the use of vascular visualization devices could be summarized into nine themes based on the theory of planned behavior. Attitudes towards behavior included positive evaluations, negative evaluations, and unclear information. Subjective norms involved peers' attitudes as well as expectations and pressures from patients. Perceived behavioral control encompassed workload, level of knowledge, more limited equipment performance, and external resource support.Conclusions:The behavioral intentions of pediatric nurses towards the use of vascular visualization devices are influenced by their attitudes towards the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Nursing managers should conduct standardized training on vascular visualization devices to enhance nurses' knowledge and skills, while also valuing the sources of various supports to create a supportive environment for the use of vascular visualization devices. This will improve the usage experience of pediatric nurses and promote the use of vascular visualization devices in pediatric nursing practice.

Objective:To construct the evaluation index system of core competence of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) specialist nurses.Methods:Through literature search and analysis, an entry pool of the core competence evaluation index system for ECMO specialist nurses was initially formed, and 20 medical and nursing experts in acute and critical care and cardiovascular fields were selected for two rounds of correspondence from September to November 2022. According to experts' opinions, the evaluation indexes of core competence of ECMO specialist nurses were modified, and the analytic hierarchy process determined the weights of indexes at all levels.Results:A total of 20 questionnaires were sent out and 20 valid questionnaires were collected during each of the two rounds of expert correspondence consultation, with effective recovery rates of 100.00%. The expert authority coefficient of the second round was 0.86, and Kendall's harmony coefficient was 0.31 ( P<0.01). Finally, the evaluation index system of core competence of ECMO specialist nurses included five primary indexes (clinical professional ability, communication and collaboration ability, nursing management ability, critical thinking ability, and professional development ability), 15 secondary indexes, and 53 tertiary indexes. Conclusions:The evaluation index system of core competence of ECMO specialist nurses constructed in this study is scientific and practical, providing a reference for evaluating ECMO specialist nurses' core competence.

Objective:To evaluate the role of hippocampal prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) in baicalin-induced reduction of cognitive dysfunction after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) in mice.Methods:Thirty healthy male C57BL/6 mice, aged 16 weeks, weighing 20-25 g, were divided into 5 groups ( n=6 each) using a random number table method: control group (C group), CIRI group, baicalin+ CIRI group (B+ CIRI group), overexpression of PTGS2+ CIRI group (PTGS2+ CIRI group), and overexpression of PTGS2+ baicalin+ CIRI group (PTGS2+ B+ CIRI). In B+ CIRI group and PTGS2+ B+ CIRI group, baicalin-liposome 0.2 ml was injected through the tail vein, and the CIRI model was established 1 week later. In PTGS2+ CIRI group and PTGS2+ B+ CIRI group, PTGS2-overexpressed adeno-associated virus 1.2 μl was injected into the hippocampus, and the CIRI model was established 4 weeks later. CIRI model was established by using the transient (50 min) bilateral common carotid artery occlusion/reperfusion. On the 12th day after developing the model, the spatial learning and memory ability was evaluated using Morris water maze test. The expression of PTGS2 in the hippocampus was detected by Western blot, and the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), IL-6, Iba-1 and CD68 mRNA in the hippocampus was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results:Compared with C group, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the time spent in the target quadrant was shortened, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced, and the expression of PTGS2 and expression of Iba-1, CD68, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA in the hippocampus was up-regulated in CIRI group ( P<0.05). Compared with CIRI group, the escape latency was significantly shortened, the time spent in the target quadrant was prolonged, the number of crossing the original platform was increased, and the expression of PTGS2 and expression of Iba-1, CD68, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA in the hippocampus was down-regulated in B+ CIRI group, and the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the time spent in the target quadrant was shortened, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced, and the expression of PTGS2 and expression of Iba-1, CD68, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA in the hippocampus was up-regulated in PTGS2+ CIRI group ( P<0.05). Compared with B+ CIRI group, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the time spent in the target quadrant was shortened, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced, and the expression of PTGS2 and expression of Iba-1, CD68, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA in the hippocampus was up-regulated in PTGS2+ B+ CIRI group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which baicalin attenuates cognitive dysfunction after CIRI is related to down-regulation of hippocampal PTGS2 expression and inhibition of neuroinflammation in mice.

Cognitive frailty, as one of the hotspots in the field of geriatric medicine research, is a disease state where physical frailty and cognitive impairment coexist. Cognitive frailty is related to sociodemographic factors, nutritional status, geriatric syndrome, physical and cognitive activities, comorbidities, etc., but the underlying mechanisms are not yet clear. Cognitive frailty not only increases the risk of adverse health outcomes such as falls, disability, and hospitalization in the elderly, but also exacerbates the burden on families and public healthcare systems. This article reviews the recent progress on the cognitive frailty in the elderly, focusing on the awareness of cognitive frailty, the related mechanisms and influencing factors, the assessment methods and non-pharmaceutical interventions to provide reference for clinical application.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of anorectal motility and sensation in patients with functional anorectal pain (FAP) by high-resolution anorectal manometry (HR-ARM) .Methods:The clinical data of 81 FAP patients (FAP group) who underwent HR-ARM in Nanjing Hospital of Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from January 1, 2020 to January 31, 2022 were retrospectively collected, and 80 healthy volunteers were recruited as healthy control group during the same period. The HR-ARM characteristics were compared between FAP group and the healthy control group, between the patients with different genders in the FAP group, the patients with different subtypes (proctalgia fugax, levator syndrome, and non-specific FAP) in the FAP group, which included anal resting pressure, anal squeeze pressure, rectal pressure during simulated defecation, anal residual pressure during simulated defecation, paradoxical contractions, initial sensation threshold, defecation threshold, defecation urgency threshold, and tolerance threshold. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the pain level of the patients in the FAP group, and Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between VAS and HR-ARM characteristics. Independent sample t-test, least significant difference test, Tamhane′s T2 test, and Mann-Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The anal resting pressure, anal squeeze pressure, anal residual pressure during simulated defecation, defecation urgency threshold, and tolerance threshold of the FAP group were all lower than those of the healthy control group ((59.56±24.71) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. (81.94±15.87) mmHg, (119.04±46.94) mmHg vs.(154.62±37.95) mmHg, 59.00(40.75, 80.95) mmHg vs. 83.10(61.78, 94.30) mmHg, 70.00(55.00, 90.00) mL vs. 85.00(60.00, 110.00) mL, 105.00(87.50, 150.00) mL vs. 140.00(100.00, 180.00) mL), and the differences were all statistically significant ( t=-6.83 and -5.29, Z=-4.12, -3.12 and -2.82; all P<0.01).The rectal pressure during simulated defecation of male patients in the FAP group was higher than that of males in the healthy control group, and the defecation urgency threshold was lower than that of males in the healthy control group (42.40(29.60, 57.95) mmHg vs. 31.10(25.85, 36.80) mmHg, 80.00(62.50, 107.50) mL vs. 92.00(81.00, 140.00) mL), and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=-1.99 and -2.53, both P<0.05). The anal resting pressure, anal squeeze pressure, anal residual pressure during simulated defecation, defecation urgency threshold, and tolerance threshold of female patients in FAP group were all lower than those of female in the healthy control group ((55.67±21.61) mmHg vs. (87.04±15.54) mmHg, (102.70±37.09) mmHg vs. (155.98±31.44) mmHg, 52.55(40.53, 67.48) mmHg vs. 83.10(61.10, 94.50) mmHg, 60.00(52.50, 81.50) mL vs. 80.00(60.00, 100.00) mL, 101.00(80.00, 128.75) mL vs. 120.00(94.00, 155.00) mL), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-8.77 and -8.16, Z=-4.57, -2.24 and -2.14; all P<0.05). The anal resting pressure, anal squeeze pressure, anal residual pressure during simulated defecation, incidence rate of paradoxical contractions, defecation urgency threshold, and tolerance threshold of female patients in FAP group were all lower than those of male patients in FAP group ((55.67±21.61) mmHg vs. (68.28±29.16) mmHg, (102.70±37.09) mmHg vs. (155.62±46.66) mmHg, 52.55(40.53, 67.48) mmHg vs. 79.00(59.55, 99.25) mmHg, 28.6%(16/56) vs. 68.0%(17/25), 44.00(35.00, 60.00) mL vs. 60.00(45.00, 70.00) mL, 60.00(52.50, 81.50) mL vs. 80.00(62.50, 107.50) mL), and the differences were statistically significant( t=2.17 and 5.47, Z=-2.96, χ2=11.10, Z=-2.93 and -2.34; all P<0.05). The anal squeeze pressure of patients with proctalgia fugax subtype was higher than that of patients with levator syndrome subtype ((140.19±56.51) mmHg vs. (80.56±30.79) mmHg), and the tolerance threshold was lower than that of patients with non-specific FAP subtype ((87.86±17.80) mL vs. (125.14±48.31) mL), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.35 and 2.02, both P<0.05). The results of Spearman correlation analysis showed that VAS was negatively correlated with anal resting pressure, anal squeeze pressure, and defecation urgency threshold in the patients of the FAP group ( r= -0.28, -0.23, and -0.24; all P< 0.05). Conclusion:The presence of anorectal dismotility and sensory dysfunction in FAP may be related to pelvic floor muscle abnormalities, muscle coordination disorders during defecation, and rectal hypersensitivity.

OBJECTIVE To study the ameliorative effect and potential mechanism of curcumin on diabetes model rats with depression based on cAMP response element binding protein （CREB）/brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF） signaling pathway. METHODS The diabetes model rat with depression was established by high fat and high sugar diet+intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin+chronic unpredictable stress-induced depression. The successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into model group， positive control group （0.18 g/kg metformin and 1.8 mg/kg fluoxetine， gavage）， curcumin low-dose and high-dose groups （30， 60 mg/kg， gavage） and curcumin high-dose+CREB inhibitor group [60 mg/kg curcumin （gavage）+5 mg/kg CREB inhibitor 666-15 （intraperitoneal injection）]， with 12 rats in each group. Another 12 healthy rats were selected as the normal group. Each group was given a corresponding intervention for 4 weeks， the fasting blood glucose level of rats was detected， and the depression of rats was assessed. The levels of corticosterone （CORT） and inflammatory factors [tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin- 1β （IL-1β）， IL-6] in serum， and the levels of norepinephrine （NE） and 5-hydroxytryptamine （5-HT） in hippocampal tissue were determined. The pathological changes and neuronal apoptosis were observed in the hippocampal tissue of rats in each group； the expression levels of CREB， BDNF mRNA and protein in hippocampal tissue were detected. RESULTS Compared with the normal group， the hippocampal tissue of rats in the model group was severely damaged， and neurons were scattered， while the fasting blood glucose， the forced swimming immobility time， the tail suspension immobility time， serum levels of CORT， TNF-α， IL-1β and IL-6， and neuron apoptosis indexes were all increased or prolonged significantly （P＜0.05）. The levels of NE and 5-HT， the number of surviving neurons， and the expression levels of CREB and BDNF mRNA and protein in hippocampal tissue were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. Compared with the 的model group， the damage to hippocampal tissue was relieved in the positive control group and curcumin groups， while the above indexes were improved significantly （P＜0.05）. The improvement effect of curcumin high-dose group was better than that of curcumin low-dose group （P＜0.05）. CREB inhibitor could significantly reverse the ameliorative effect of high-dose curcumin on the model rats （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Curcumin can improve the depression of diabetes model rats with depression， and relieve neuronal damage and inflammatory response， the mechanism of which may be associated with activating CREB/BDNF signaling pathway.

Objective To evaluate the application value of the second generation snap shot freeze(SSF2)combined with artificial intelligence reconstruction in free heart rate coronary computed tomography angiography(CCTA).Methods The examination data of 37 patients undergoing CCTA were divided into two groups for reconstruction.Group A,reconstruction by artificial intelligence after SSF2 algorithm correction;group B,original images automatically split and multi-phase reconstruction by artificial intelligence.Image quality were compared on volume rendering(VR),curve planar reformation(CPR),maximum intensity projection(MIP)image,subjective evaluation,objective scoring,and signal-to-noise ratio(SNR).Independent samples t-test and Chi-square test were used,and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results There were statistically significant differences in the image quality score and SNR of the two reconstruction methods(P=0.009).Group A scored better,with higher signal intensity,lower noise intensity,and better SNR.The difference in the number of right coronary artery(RCA)analyzable segments between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).The excellent and good rate of subjective evaluation of coronary artery segments in group A RCA(98.6%)was higher than that in group B(69.6%).Conclusion Using SSF2 combined with artificial intelligence reconstruction technology can significantly improve the image quality of CCTA,improve the success rate of CCTA examination,and improve the overall work efficiency.

Objective:To evaluate the role of cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) in preoperative sleep deprivation (PSD)-induced aggravation of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in aged mice.Methods:One hundred and ten healthy C57BL/6J mice of either sex, aged 18-20 months, weighing 29-35 g, were divided into 5 groups ( n=22 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (S group), abdominal surgery group (O group), PSD + abdominal surgery group (D+ O group), CIP2A shRNA + abdominal surgery group (CS+ O group), and CIP2A shRNA+ PSD+ abdominal surgery group (CS+ D+ O group). At 14 days before surgery, control shRNA lentivirus was injected into the hippocampus in S, O and CS+ O groups, and CIP2A shRNA was injected into the hippocampus in D+ O and CS+ D+ O groups. PSD was carried out for 3 consecutive days prior to surgery. Cognitive function was assessed using the Morris water maze test at days 7-11 after surgery. The mice were sacrificed under deep anesthesia at day 3 after surgery, and hippocampal tissues were obtained to determine the expression of CIP2A, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba-1), alpha subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2Aa), catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2Ac), phosphorylated tau protein (p-tau) (S396), and p-tau (S404) (by Western blot), levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD), and count of Iba-1 positive cells in the hippocampal CA1 region (using immunofluorescence staining). Results:Compared with S group, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the frequency of crossing the platform was reduced, duration of stay in the target quadrant was shortened, the expression of CIP2A, Iba-1 and HMGB1 was up-regulated, PP2Ac expression was down-regulated, levels of ROS and MDA and count of Iba-1 positive cells were increased, and the activity of SOD was decreased in O group ( P<0.05). Compared with O group, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the frequency of crossing the platform was reduced, duration of stay in the target quadrant was shortened, the expression of CIP2A, Iba-1 and HMGB1 was up-regulated, PP2Ac expression was down-regulated, levels of ROS and MDA and count of Iba-1 positive cells were increased, and the activity of SOD was decreased in D+ O group, and the escape latency was significantly shortened, the frequency of crossing the platform was increased, duration of stay in the target quadrant was prolonged, the expression of CIP2A, Iba-1 and HMGB1 was down-regulated, PP2Ac expression was up-regulated, levels of ROS and MDA and count of Iba-1 positive cells were decreased, and the activity of SOD was increased in CS+ O group ( P<0.05). Compared with D+ O group, the escape latency was significantly shortened, the frequency of crossing the platform was increased, duration of stay in the target quadrant was prolonged, the expression of CIP2A, Iba-1 and HMGB1 was down-regulated, PP2Ac expression was up-regulated, levels of ROS and MDA and count of Iba-1 positive cells were decreased, and the activity of SOD was increased in CS+ D+ O group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in PP2Aa expression among the five groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which PSD aggravates POCD is related to up-regulating the expression of CIP2A and promoting oxidative stress responses, neuroinflammatory responses and phosphorylation of tau protein in aged mice.
