ObjectiveTo retrospectively analyze the correlation among serotypes, antimicrobial resistance phenotypes, and resistance genotypes of Salmonella isolates from diarrheal cases in Baoshan District of Shanghai from 2023 to 2024, and to provide a reference for the prevention and control of Salmonella infections and the rational use of antibiotics in clinical practice. MethodsSalmonella isolates collected from diarrheal cases under surveillance in Baoshan District from 2023 to 2024 were serotyped. Antimicrobial resistance phenotypes were determined using the broth microdilution method, and whole-genome sequencing was performed to identify resistance genes. Positive predictive value and Kappa were calculated to evaluate the agreement between phenotypic and genotypic resistance profiles of Salmonella. ResultsA total of 64 Salmonella isolates belonged to 17 serotypes, with the predominant ones being Salmonella Typhimurium (25.00%) and Salmonella Enteritidis (18.75%). The tested strains exhibited high resistance rates to ampicillin (60.94%), streptomycin (59.38%), and ampicillin/sulbactam (45.31%). All isolates remained susceptible to ceftiofur and ceftazidime/avibactam. Forty different resistance profiles were identified, and 39 isolates accounting for 60.94%, were multidrug-resistant. Overall, 80 resistance genes belonging to 13 categories were detected, with the most prevalent being bla_TEM-1 (57.81%), aac(6')⁃Iy (54.69%), and aph(6)⁃Id (46.88%). No carbapenem or polymyxin resistance genes were found. The types and numbers of resistance genes varied significantly across serotypes. A high concordance was observed between genotype and phenotype for penicillins (positive predictive value: 94.59%, Kappa: 0.81), cephalosporins (90.91%, 0.46), cephamycins (100.00%, 0.65), macrolides (77.78%, 0.86), tetracyclines (100.00%, 0.93), and chloramphenicol (95.83%, 0.93). ConclusionSalmonella isolates from diarrheal diseases in Baoshan District exhibit high antimicrobial resistance. Whole-genome sequencing provides valuable support for resistance surveillance, however, it still needs to be integrated with phenotypic susceptibility testing for comprehensive assessment. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the mechanisms and transmission patterns of resistance in Salmonella.

ObjectiveTo investigate the molecular mechanism by which Feiyanning formula（FYN） regulated exosomal miR-328 to suppress the invasion and metastasis of lung cancer. MethodsIn vitro models using low-metastatic 95C and high-metastatic 95D lung cancer cell lines， along with isolated exosomes， were established. Initially， 95C and 95D cells were cultured， and exosomes were isolated from their supernatants. The exosomes were identified using transmission electron microscopy （TEM）， nanoparticle tracking analysis （NTA）， and Western blot. Exosome uptake assays confirmed that both 95C and 95D cells could internalize exosomes derived from lung cancer patients' plasma. Cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assays were performed to assess the inhibitory effects of FYN （0， 0.1， 0.2， 0.4， 0.8， 1.6， 3.2， 6.4 g·L^-1） on 95C and 95D cell proliferation. Subsequent experiments were divided into three groups of control， low-dose FYN （1 g·L^-1）， and high-dose FYN （2 g·L^-1） groups. Wound-healing and Transwell assays were used to evaluate the inhibitory effects of FYN on the migration and invasion of 95C and 95D cells. Western blot was employed to detect the protein expression levels of Janus kinase 2 （JAK2）， signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3）， cellular oncogene Fos （c-Fos）， and nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 （NFATc1）. The mRNA expression of miR-328 was measured by Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. ResultsLung cancer plasma-derived exosomes （EXO） enhanced the migration， invasion， and miR-328 expression levels in 95C and 95D cells （P<0.05， P<0.01）. FYN inhibited the proliferation， invasion， and metastasis of 95C and 95D cells in a dose-dependent manner （P<0.01）， with more pronounced effects on 95C cells. Additionally， FYN downregulated exosomal miR-328 expression and suppressed the protein levels of JAK2， STAT3， and its downstream target genes c-Fos and NFATc1 （P<0.01）. ConclusionFYN may inhibit lung cancer metastasis by downregulating exosomal miR-328 expression， potentially through the STAT3/c-Fos/NFATc1 signaling pathway. Further studies are warranted to elucidate its detailed mechanisms and facilitate clinical application， providing insights into traditional Chinese medicine-based strategies for lung cancer treatment.

Objective:To assess the level of moral distress among pediatric nurses in China and explore its influencing factors, providing a reference for future interventions.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a convenience sampling method from May 2022 to March 2023. Pediatric nurses meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected from children′s specialized hospitals, general hospitals, and maternal and child health hospitals across 16 provinces in China. Moral distress was assessed using the Chinese version of the Moral Distress Scale-Revised (MDS-R). Data analysis included descriptive statistics, non-parametric analysis, and multiple linear regression.Results:A total of 509 pediatric nurses participated in the survey, including 10 males and 499 females. Among them, 45 were aged ≤25 years, 268 were aged 26-35 years, 172 were aged 36-45 years, and 24 were aged >45 years.The median moral distress score was 58.00 (26.00, 77.50). Factors independently associated with higher levels of moral distress included having a master′s degree ( t = 2.33), working in a ward with more than 40 beds ( t = 3.38), working in a ward without parental accompaniment ( t = 2.60), being passively assigned to the nursing profession ( t = 2.63), and considering resignation but not leaving the job ( t = 3.85) (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Pediatric nurses in China experience a moderate level of moral distress. Further research is needed to understand its underlying causes and to develop preventive and intervention strategies.

Objective:To explore the application value of CT-guided percutaneous coaxial needle biopsy (CT-PTCB) in the diagnosis of malignant tumors.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. The clinical data of 802 suspected malignant tumor patients who underwent CT-PTCB upon admission to Beijing Chaoyang District Huanxing Cancer Hospital from January 2019 to December 2023 were analyzed. All patients underwent imaging follow-up combined with CT-PTCB or surgical pathology to determine the final diagnosis. The CT-PTCB puncture effect, diagnosis effect and incidence of complications were recorded.Results:Among the 802 patients, 488 (60.8%) were male and 314 (39.2%) were female, with the age of (51±11) years. The puncture sites included 610 cases (76.1%) in the chest, 169 cases (21.1%) in the abdomen, 17 cases (2.1%) in the bones, and 6 cases (0.7%) in the pelvic cavity. The success rate of CT-PTCB puncture upon admission was 99.5% (798/802), the diagnostic accuracy was 96.5% (774/802), and the false negative rate was 3.5% (28/802). The incidence of pneumothorax and bleeding in patients undergoing pulmonary CT-PTCB was 13.0% (75/575) and 17.9% (103/575), respectively; the incidence of puncture bleeding in patients undergoing liver CT-PTCB was 0.8% (1/125), and the incidence of pain was 1.6% (2/125); the incidence of pneumothorax in patients undergoing mediastinal CT-PTCB was 8.7% (2/23); no obvious complications were observed in other puncture sites. All complications were cured through active treatment.Conclusions:The application of CT-PTCB for the diagnosis of malignant tumors has high success rate and diagnosis rate, and is safe and minimally invasive.

Objective:To explore the genetic basis of a patient suspected for Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS).Methods:An adult male patient with aneurysmal dilation of the aortic root identified during the treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia at Anzhen Hospital of Capital Medical University in 2021 was enrolled as the study subject. Clinical data of the patient were retrospectively collected. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the patient and his family members and subjected to whole-exome sequencing (WES). Candidate variant was verified by bioinformatic analysis, with a focus on the genes associated with hereditary aortic aneurysms. Candidate variant was validated by Sanger sequencing. The online SpliceAI software was used for the prediction of protein function. The results, combined with information from public databases, were used to classify the pathogenicity of the candidate variant according to the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Beijing Anzhen Hospital (Ethics No. 2023163X).Results:Imaging analysis revealed that the patient had aneurysmal dilation of the aortic root. Based on his clinical features and past history, a provisional diagnosis of LDS was established. WES revealed that the patient had harbored a heterozygous splice site variant c. 206+ 2T>G in the SMAD3 gene (NM_005902). The variant was not reported in public databases and was predicted to be pathogenic by SpliceAI. Sanger sequencing showed that the variant was also present in the patients mother, sister, nephew, and daughter, but not in his father. Based on the guidelines from the ACMG, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic (PVS1+ PM2_Supporting). Conclusion:The heterozygous splice site variant c. 206+ 2T>G of the SMAD3 gene probably underlay the disease of this patient. The discovery has enriched the mutational spectrum of LDS, which may facilitate delineation of the genotype-phenotype correlation and provide a basis for further risk stratification and personalized treatment of LDS.
