OBJECTIVE To explore the distribution and drug resistance of the pathogens causing the abdominal(pelvic)soft tissue infections in secondary or above medical institutions of Suzhou so as to provide bases for pre-vention and control of the infections.METHODS The surveillance data of abdominal(pelvic)soft tissue infections that were reported regularly from 58 member institutions of Suzhou from Jan.2020 to Dec.2023 were collected from the regional nosocomial infection surveillance platform by Suzhou nosocomial infection management and qual-ity control center.Totally 26 tertiary hospitals and 32 secondary hospitals were involved.RESULTS Most of the 1178 strains of pathogens were isolated from the tertiary hospitals,the proportion of gram-negative bacteria was the highest;Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterococcus faecium ranked the top 3 species.The constituent ratio of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)strains the was highest among the mul-tidrug-resistant organisms.The K.pneumoniae and CRKP strains were sensitive to tigecycline;the E.coli strains were highly sensitive to carbapenems,minocycline and piperacillin-tazobactam;Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strains were highly resistant to most of the antibiotics;Enterobacter cloacae strains were highly resistant to ampi-cillin-sulbactam but were highly sensitive to carbapenems;the drug resistance rate of the A.baumannii strains to tigecycline was less than 5％;the drug resistance rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains to ticarcillin-clavulanic acid was highest.CONCLUSIONS The abdominal(pelvic)soft tissue infection is always mixed infections.The pathogens show severe drug resistance.It is necessary to strengthen the surveillance of etiological spectrum and drug resistance and conduct targeted guidance for clinical practice of diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of co-infection of Talaromyces marneffei(TM)and non-tuberculous Mycobacterium(NTM)in human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)-negative patients.Methods Clinical data of 8 HIV-negative patients with co-infection of TM and NTM in a hospital from 2019 to 2022 were co-llected.Clinical manifestations,auxiliary examination,treatment and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among the 8 patients,5 were females and 3 were males,with an average age of(52.25±12.31)years old.All patients presented TM and NTM disseminated infection.The major involved organs were lung(100％),lymph nodes(87.5％),and skin(75.0％).Clinical symptoms mainly included cough and expectoration(87.5％),fatigue(62.5％),joint and lumbosacral pains(62.5％),fever(50.0％),as well as skin and soft tissue abscess(50.0％),etc.Anti-interferon-γ(INF-γ)autoantibodies were detected in 4 patients and the results were positive.All 8 patients(100％)had pulmonary lesions,with chest CT mainly showing spots,patches,and striped shadows in both lungs.Among them,7 cases(87.5％)had increased and enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes,4 cases(50.0％)had pleural thickening and pleural effusion,2 cases each(25.0％for each)were accompanied by pulmonary mass shadows,bronchial stenosis,as well as increased and enlarged hilar lymph nodes.One case each(12.5％for each)had pulmonary cavity formation,bronchiectasis,and pericardial effusion.Conclusion The co-infection of TM and NTM in non-HIV patients presents disseminated infection,with multiple clinical symptoms.Chest imaging shows a wide variety of pulmonary lesions.It is prone to miss diagnosis in clinic,and the effect is not ideal after treatment for single pathogen infection.

Objective To explore the epidemiological characteristics and differences in antimicrobial resistance be-tween catheter-associated urinary tract infection(CAUTI)and non-CAUTI of healthcare-associated infection(HAI),and provide scientific basis for precise clinical prevention and control.Methods Based on the regional HAI surveillance platform in Suzhou City,urinary tract infection(UTI)surveillance data reported by 61 member units from January 2020 to December 2024 were analyzed retrospectively.Pathogen distribution,detection rate of multi-drug-resistant organisms(MDROs),and antimicrobial resistance spectrum characteristics of patients in the CAUTI group and non-CAUTI group were compared.Results The incidence of CAUTI in patients in CAUTI group was 0.99‰,the incidence of healthcare-associated UTI in patients in non-CAUTI group was 0.14％.There was statis-tically significant difference in the distribution of UTI pathogens between the two groups(P＜0.05).The patho-gens of the CAUTI group were mainly Gram-negative bacteria(56.1％),with high proportions of Escherichia coli(19.6％)and Klebsiella pneumoniae(15.0％).In the non-CAUTI group,the proportion of Gram-negative bacteria was higher(64.7％).Antimicrobial susceptibility testing results showed that the resistance rates of Escherichia co-li to tobramycin,cephalosporins,and carbapenems in the CAUTI group were all higher than those in the non-CAU-TI group(all P＜0.05).Except for tigecycline,the resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae to other antimicrobial agents in the CAUTI group were all significantly different from the non-CAUTI group(all P＜0.05).The resis-tance rates of Acinetobacterbaumannii to ticarcillin/clavulanic acid,quinolones,most cephalosporins,carbapenems,and aminoglycosides in the CAUTI group were higher than those of the non-CAUTI group(all P＜0.05).The de-tection rates of MDROs were higher in the CAUTI group,especially that of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneu-moniae,accounting for 57.8％.Conclusion There are significant differences in pathogen distribution and antimi-crobial resistance of UTI between the CAUTI group and the non-CAUTI group.It is necessary to establish a re-gional antimicrobial resistance surveillance system for pathogens in UTI,and provide basis for the rational use of an-timicrobial agents in clinical practice.

Objective:To detect the pathogen and clinically diagnose for a suspected case of Neisseria meningitidis with positive blood culture result, and assess the risk of disease transmission among the community. Methods:Blood sample was collected for Neisseria meningitidis isolation and culture. Pathogen identification and serogroup typing were conducted by colony morphology, Gram staining, biochemical tests, latex agglutination test, slide agglutination test, and nucleic acid testing. The susceptibility to 12 antibiotics was also tested. Epidemiological investigation was conducted on the case, and epidemic control measures were also implemented. Results:Through various detection, the suspected case was diagnosed as Neisseria meningitidis invasive infection. The isolated strain belonged to group Y serotype, type 767 (multilocus sequence typing), and the ST167 clonal complex. The strain was sensitive to nine antibiotics, including penicillin, ampicillin, and meropenem. It exhibited intermediate sensitivity to ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin, and resistance to methicillin/sulfamethoxazole. Close contacts of the case and environmental testing results were negative. Conclusions:The case is confirmed to be an invasive infection caused by group Y Neisseria meningitidis, the ST167 clonal complex. Epidemiological investigation shows a relatively low risk of epidemic transmission. Continuous monitoring and surveillance are necessary for further assessment.

Adolescents with depressive disorder are a high risk group for suicidal behavior. The paper reviews the personal psychological factors, as well as the family, school and social factors that play a role in the suicidal behavior of adolescents with depressive disorder, providing a scientific basis for the effective prevention of suicidal behavior in adolescents.

Thyroid nodule is a common endocrine system disease in clinic. Its onset is mostly related to affect-mind internal damage. The core pathogenesis is dysfunction of the liver and liver-qi stagnation, and the main pathological changes are qi stagnation, phlegm turbidity and blood stasis. Constitution is inherited from the natural factors and nourished from the postnatal factors, which is closely related to the occurrence of diseases, the transformation of syndromes and the transmission of diseases. Chaihu constitution refers to the type of constitution suitable for long-term use of Bupleuri Radix and prescriptions about Bupleuri Radix. The characteristics of patients with Chaihu constitution are similar to those of patients with thyroid nodules in clinic, and the risk of developing thyroid nodules is higher. Chaihu constitution is the internal basis of thyroid nodules. When treating thyroid nodule patients with Chaihu constitution, the dominant position of Bupleuri Radix should be highlighted, and Bupleuri Radix and prescriptions about Bupleuri Radix should be used flexibly. The dosage of Bupleuri Radix is mostly between 6-15 g, and according to the change of pathogenesis, it is often combined with Chinese materia medica with the efficacy of soothing liver and promoting qi, resolving phlegm and removing turbidity, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, in order to prevent the occurrence and development of thyroid nodules.
