Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.

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.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)is a malignant lesion originating from the oral mucosal squamous epithelium,account-ing for over 80％of oral and maxillofacial malignancies.Key etiological factors include tobacco,alcohol abuse,and betel quid chewing.In China,its incidence has shown an overall upward trend,posing a significant threat to public health.OSCC exhibits high local invasive-ness,making early diagnosis critical for improving prognosis.Its clinical management requires close multidisciplinary collaboration among oral and maxillofacial surgery,head and neck surgery,radiation oncology,medical oncology,reconstructive surgery,radiology,patholo-gy,and nutritional support teams.Given the increasing disease burden of OSCC and rapid development of multidisciplinary collaborative models,an expert panel has formulated this integrated management consensus based on evidence-based medicine and extensive deliber-ation.Centered on the'Prevention-Screening-Diagnosis-Treatment-Rehabilitation'framework,the consensus provides comprehensive guidance for the entire disease course of OSCC patients,aiming to standardize clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the potential prognostic value of the HAMP(hepcidin)gene in gastric adenocarci-noma and its correlation with immune infiltration in gastric cancer.Methods:This study systematically analyzed the ex-pression characteristics of the HAMP gene using bioinformatics approaches based on mRNA data from 448 gastric ad-enocarcinoma tissues and non-tumor tissues in the TCGA database.Firstly,the cBioPortal platform was employed to analyze the genetic variation features of the HAMP gene,and the LinkedOmics database was used to evaluate the corre-lation between its methylation status and expression levels.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis with log-rank test was per-formed to assess the relationship between HAMP expression levels and patient prognosis.Furthermore,by integrating TIMER2.0 and TISIDB databases,we systematically evaluated the correlation between HAMP expression and immune-related genes as well as immune cell infiltration.Gene Set Enrichment Analysis(GSEA)was conducted to investigate HAMP-associated signaling pathway characteristics.Finally,STRING and Gepia databases were utilized to construct a protein-protein interaction network of HAMP and identify core interacting genes,comprehensively evaluating the role of HAMP in immune infiltration in gastric adenocarcinoma.Results:The expression level of HAMP was significantly higher in gastric adenocarcinoma tissues compared to normal tissues(P<0.01),and its elevated expression was strongly associ-ated with poor patient prognosis,manifested by significantly shorter overall survival(OS),progression-free survival(PFS),and post-progression survival(PPS)(all P<0.05).Genomic analysis revealed that HAMP mutations in gastric cancer were predominantly amplification-type,and its methylation level showed a positive correlation with mRNA expression(r=0.14,P<0.001).Immunological analysis demonstrated that high HAMP expression was significantly correlated with multiple key immune checkpoint molecules(PD-1:rho=0.274;PD-L1:rho=0.211;CTLA-4:rho=0.199,all P<0.001)and immune cell infiltration(dendritic cells:r=0.548;macrophages:r=0.414;neutrophils:r=0.374,all P<0.001).Pathway enrichment analy-sis indicated that the high HAMP expression group was significantly enriched in immune-related pathways including anti-gen presentation and NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity.Furthermore,protein-protein interaction network analysis identified core interacting genes such as TREM2 and TYROBP,suggesting that HAMP may participate in tumor immune regulation through specific molecular networks.Conclusion:HAMP is highly expressed in gastric cancer,and its high expression significantly reduces the survival time of gastric adenocarcinoma patients,demonstrating prognostic value.HAMP ex-pression is positively correlated with most immune-related genes in STAD and significantly associated with the abun-dance of multiple immune cell infiltration levels,serving as an independent prognostic factor related to immune infiltration.

Osteoporosis is a systemic metabolic disease characterized by decreased bone mass, leading to an increased risk of fractures. Although osteoporosis in children and adolescents is rare, its incidence in younger populations is showing an increasingly notable trend. The diagnostic criteria for osteoporosis in children and adolescents include a bone mineral density(BMD) Z-score of≤-2.0 accompanied by a significant fracture history, defined as two or more long bone fractures before the age of 10, three or more long bone fractures before the age of 19, or the presence of low-energy vertebral compression fractures even in the absence of low BMD. The genetic causes and underlying mechanisms of pediatric osteoporosis remain largely unknown, requiring further research to elucidate the molecular pathways involved. Such advances could help reduce the disease′s impact on growth and development and improve the quality of life in affected children and adolescents.

Objective:To develop a multi-parameter diagnostic model for pediatric McCune-Albright syndrome(MAS) using machine learning techniques based on laboratory data from MAS patients, with the goal of providing a rapid and reliable auxiliary diagnostic tool for clinical practice.Methods:In this retrospective study, 232 children diagnosed with MAS at the Department of Pediatrics, Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from March 2023 to November 2024 were enrolled as the positive group. After removing duplicate or missing data, 119 cases were finally selected for statistical analysis as the positive group. Meanwhile, 113 children with normal physical examinations during the same period were selected as the control group. The clinical manifestations of the classic " triad" in the positive group were documented. Fasting serum samples were obtained from both groups at 8: 00 AM for laboratory testing, including bone metabolism-related and hormone-related indicators, which served as candidate features. Baseline descriptive analysis was conducted on the hormone-related indicators. For the bone metabolism indicators, six machine learning models—support vector machine(SVM), XGBoost, decision tree, random forest, Logistic regression, and K-nearest neighbor(KNN)—were constructed using R software. XGBoost subgroup analysis was performed based on the triad symptoms. The contribution of individual features to model predictions was visualized using SHAP diagrams. Results:SHAP visualization indicated that age, serum phosphorus, osteocalcin, and β-C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen had the greatest average impact on model predictions. Among the six models, the SVM model achieved the highest diagnostic performance, with a sensitivity of 0.742 9, a specificity of 0.909 1, and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.917.Conclusion:This study demonstrates that machine learning models, based on data from the positive patients and normal controls, can effectively distinguish MAS patients from healthy controls. The diagnostic model developed offers clinicians a valuable tool for early detection of MAS in children, contributing to earlier diagnosis, timely intervention, and improved clinical management.

Objective:To explore patterns of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) use among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Jiangsu Province, China from 2019 to 2023.Methods:Using data from the IBD health data platform of the National Healthcare Big Data (Eastern) Center, a retrospective cohort study was conducted. We performed descriptive analyses on hospitalised patients diagnosed with IBD between 2019 and 2023, who received TCM treatment.Results:The study included 11 095 case records from 4 760 patients, with TCM diagnoses primarily indicating diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Ulcerative colitis (UC) accounted for 4 782 hospitalizations (3 103 patients), while Crohn's disease (CD) accounted for 6 313 hospitalizations (1 657 patients). Patient demographics showed a trend towards younger age and a higher proportion of males. Treatment utilisation was highest in southern Jiangsu compared with the central and northern regions. In terms of disease burden, all treatment costs showed a downward trend. In terms of external TCM therapies, UC patients tend to prefer plasters and enemas, while CD patients are more inclined to use acupuncture. Regarding herbal medicine, licorice, white atractylodes, and white peony root are commonly used single herbs for IBD patients.Conclusions:The number of IBD patients treated with TCM in Jiangsu Province has steadily increased from 2019 to 2023. It is important to identify effective TCM treatment methods to reduce the burden of patients.

Objective:To analyze the distribution of human immunodeficiency virus 1（HIV-1）genotypes and antiretroviral drug resistance patterns among individuals infected with HIV and patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome（AIDS）in Fuyang，with the aim of informing the optimization of antiretroviral therapy strategies.Methods:Blood samples were collected from HIV/AIDS patients who failed antiviral treatment in Fuyang from 2023 to 2024，as well as newly reported HIV-infected individuals who were first diagnosed and did not receive antiviral treatment. The HIV-1 pol gene was amplified and sequenced. Genotypic resistance was assessed using the Stanford University HIV Drug Resistance Database，and analyses were conducted on HIV-1 subtypes and drug resistance-associated mutations.Results:A total of 571 HIV/AIDS patients were included in this study，comprising 320 newly reported HIV-infected individuals and 251 HIV/AIDS patients who failed antiviral treatment. Both groups were predominantly male，middle-aged and elderly individuals over 45 years old，and heterosexual contact was the primary transmission route. The most prevalent HIV-1 subtypes differed between groups：CRF07_BC（36.88%，118/320）dominated among newly reported HIV-infected patients，whereas subtype B（43.03%，108/251）was predominant in HIV/AIDS patients who failed antiviral treatment. The drug resistance rate was significantly lower in newly reported HIV-infected patients（15.63%，50/320）compared to the HIV/AIDS patients who failed antiviral treatment（38.25%，96/251； χ2=37.825， P<0.001）. Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors（NNRTIs）exhibited the highest resistance rates in both cohorts. Compared to newly reported HIV-infected patients，HIV/AIDS patients who failed antiviral treatment showed a significantly higher prevalence of drug resistance mutations（ P<0.001），with greater diversity in mutation patterns. Key resistance-associated mutation site demonstrated statistically significant differences in mutation rates between the two groups（ P<0.05）. The results of the molecular transmission network showed that the proportion of elderly people over 60 years old and patients with CRF07_BC and B subtypes was higher among the networked cases in the two groups of newly reported and antiviral treatment failure. Conclusion:The study revealed a diverse distribution of HIV-1 subtypes among HIV/AIDS patients in Fuyang. NNRTIs exhibited the most prominent resistance challenges，accompanied by diversified resistance mutation profiles. These findings highlight the need for enhanced surveillance of resistance to curb the spread of resistant strains and improve clinical outcomes.
