Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-positive bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-positive bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System(BRICS)were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI). WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:A total of 3 163 strains of Gram-positive pathogens were collected from 51 member units,and the top five bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus( n=1 147,36.3%),coagulase-negative Staphylococci( n=928,29.3%), Enterococcus faecalis( n=369,11.7%), Enterococcus faecium( n=296,9.4%)and alpha-hemolyticus Streptococci( n=192,6.1%). The detection rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci(MRCNS)were 26.4%(303/1 147)and 66.7%(619/928),respectively. No glycopeptide and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci were detected. The sensitivity rates of Staphylococcus aureus to cefpirome,rifampin,compound sulfamethoxazole,linezolid,minocycline and tigecycline were all >95.0%. Enterococcus faecium was more prevalent than Enterococcus faecalis. The resistance rates of Enterococcus faecium to vancomycin and teicoplanin were both 0.5%(2/369),and no vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium was detected. The detection rate of MRSA in southern China was significantly lower than that in other regions( χ2=14.578, P=0.002),while the detection rate of MRCNS in northern China was significantly higher than that in other regions( χ2=15.195, P=0.002). The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in provincial hospitals were higher than those in municipal hospitals( χ2=13.519 and 12.136, P<0.001). The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in economically more advanced regions(per capita GDP≥92 059 Yuan in 2022)were higher than those in economically less advanced regions(per capita GDP<92 059 Yuan)( χ2=9.969 and 7.606, P=0.002和0.006). Conclusions:Among the Gram-positive pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China, Staphylococci is the most common while the MRSA incidence decreases continuously with time;the detection rate of Enterococcus faecium exceeds that of Enterococcus faecalis. The overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci is still at a low level. The composition ratio of Gram-positive pathogens and resistant profiles varies slightly across regions of China,with the prevalence of MRSA and MRCNS being more pronounced in provincial hospitals and areas with a per capita GDP≥92 059 yuan.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-negative bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of national bloodstream infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System(BRICS)were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI). WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period,9 035 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 51 hospitals,of which 7 895(87.4%)were Enterobacteriaceae and 1 140(12.6%)were non-fermenting bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli( n=4 510,49.9%), Klebsiella pneumoniae( n=2 340,25.9%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa( n=534,5.9%), Acinetobacter baumannii complex( n=405,4.5%)and Enterobacter cloacae( n=327,3.6%). The ESBLs-producing rates in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus spp. were 47.1%(2 095/4 452),21.0%(427/2 033)and 41.1%(58/141),respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli(CREC)and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)were 1.3%(58/4 510)and 13.1%(307/2 340);62.1%(36/58)and 9.8%(30/307)of CREC and CRKP were resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam combination,respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB)complex was 59.5%(241/405),while less than 5% of Acinetobacter baumannii complex was resistant to tigecycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(CRPA)was 18.4%(98/534). There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of main Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions,with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CRKP and CRPA( χ2=20.489 and 20.252, P<0.001). The prevalence of CREC,CRKP,CRPA,CRAB,ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were higher in provinicial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals( χ2=11.953,81.183,10.404,5.915,12.415 and 6.459, P<0.01 or <0.05),while the prevalence of CRPA was higher in economically developed regions(per capita GDP ≥ 92 059 Yuan)than that in economically less-developed regions(per capita GDP <92 059 Yuan)( χ2=6.240, P=0.012). Conclusions:The proportion of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections shows an increasing trend,and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top,while the trend of CRKP decreases continuously with time. Decreasing trends are noted in ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Low prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Escherichia coli and high prevalence in CRAB complex have been observed. The composition ratio and antibacterial spectrum of bloodstream infections in different regions of China are slightly different,and the proportion of main drug resistant bacteria in provincial hospitals is higher than those in municipal hospitals.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for strengthening the standardized management of off-label drug use in cancer hospitals. METHODS The evaluation system for off-label drug use was established to standardize the application, approval, and filing process for off-label drug use in our hospital. The changes in off-label drug application quantity, proportion, disease category and drug category in our hospital were compared before (October 1st, 2021-September 30th, 2022) and after (October 1st, 2022- September 30th, 2023) the establishment of the evaluation system; drug items supported by high-level evidence screened by pharmacy department were analyzed statistically. RESULTS The number of off-label drug use applications in our hospital had gradually increased, from 306 pieces in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 3 828 pieces in the third quarter of 2023. In the year before the construction of the evaluation system, there were a total of 4 482 applications for off-label drug use, and in the year after the construction of the evaluation system, there were 11 840 applications for off-label drug use. After the construction of the evaluation system, the proportion of unregistered off-label drug use significantly decreased, compared to the same period last year (P<0.05). Among them, there were no unregistered applications for off-label drug use for digestive system tumors, head and neck tumors, and radioactive drugs; lymphoma, breast tumors,urogenital system tumors, cytotoxic drugs and new anti-tumor drugs all had a decrease of over 70% in unregistered off-label drug applications. Twenty-seven off-label drug use items related to 19 drugs supported by high-level evidence were screened by the pharmacy department of our hospital, among which 25 items were drug use beyond indication. CONCLUSIONS The establishment of off-label drug use evaluation system in cancer hospital is helpful to the rational use and refined management of clinical anti-tumor drugs.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical bacterial isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2021.Methods:The clinical bacterial strains isolated from blood culture from member hospitals of Blood Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System (BRICS) were collected during January 2021 to December 2021. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). WHONET 5.6 was used to analyze data.Results:During the study period, 11 013 bacterial strains were collected from 51 hospitals, of which 2 782 (25.3%) were Gram-positive bacteria and 8 231 (74.7%) were Gram-negative bacteria. The top 10 bacterial species were Escherichia coli (37.6%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.9%), Staphylococcus aureus (9.8%), coagulase-negative Staphylococci (6.3%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.6%), Enterococcus faecium (3.6%), Acinetobacter baumannii (2.8%), Enterococcus faecalis (2.7%), Enterobacter cloacae (2.5%) and Klebsiella spp (2.1%). The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus aureus were 25.3% and 76.8%, respectively. No glycopeptide- and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci was detected; more than 95.0% of Staphylococcus aureus were sensitive to ceftobiprole. No vancomycin-resistant Enterococci strains were detected. The rates of extended spectrum B-lactamase (ESBL)-producing isolated in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis were 49.6%, 25.5% and 39.0%, respectively. The prevalence rates of carbapenem-resistance in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 2.2% and 15.8%, respectively; 7.9% of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae was resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam combination. Ceftobiprole demonstrated excellent activity against non-ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Aztreonam/avibactam was highly active against carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The prevalence rate of carbapenem-resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii was 60.0%, while polymyxin and tigecycline showed good activity against Acinetobacter baumannii (5.5% and 4.5%). The prevalence of carbapenem-resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 18.9%. Conclusions:The BRICS surveillance results in 2021 shows that the main pathogens of blood stream infection in China are gram-negative bacteria, in which Escherichia coli is the most common. The MRSA incidence shows a further decreasing trend in China and the overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci is low. The prevalence of Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is still on a high level, but the trend is downwards.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of preoperative colonoscopic marking by Nd-Fe-B magnet ring to assist laparoscopy.Methods:A total of 51 patients with colorectal tumor who underwent radical laparoscopy from January 2020 to October 2021 at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital were recruited. The patients were marked by Nd-Fe-B magnet ring under endoscopy one day before the operation, another magnet ring was sent into the abdominal cavity during the radical laparoscopy through cannula. The two magnet rings were attracted and clung to each other to orient the lesions. The basic information of patients, location of preoperative marks under endoscopy and laparoscopy conditions were recorded.Results:All 51 Nd-Fe-B magnet rings were successfully located to the position of colorectal tumor and fixed. According to the location of the lesions, there were 15 cases of transverse colon, 12 cases of descending colon, 19 cases of sigmoid colon, and 5 cases of upper rectal segment. According to the lesion type, there were 21 cases of colon cancer, 25 cases of polyp carcinomatosis, and 5 cases of laterally spreading tumors with partial carcinomatosis. There were 5 cases with positive margins after endoscopic mucosal resection and 1 case with positive margin after endoscopic submucosal dissection. All lesions were accurately located during the operation. The marking time was 4.1±1.2 min (3-6 min) before the operation and the localization time was 1.5±1.1 min (0.9-5.3 min) during the operation. All magnet rings were removed from the body by laparoscope. The mean distances between the tumor and the cutting edge of the proximal and distal intestinal segments were 5.5 cm and 6.3 cm, respectively. No complications such as colon mucosal injury, bleeding, intestinal perforation or local inflammatory reactions occurred.Conclusion:Nd-Fe-B magnet ring tracer technique for laparoscopic orientation is simple, fast, accurate and safe with no need for additional equipment or apparatus, which is worthy of clinical application.

The bacterial ATP-competitive GyrB/ParE subunits of type II topoisomerase are important anti-bacterial targets to treat super drug-resistant bacterial infections. Herein we discovered novel pyrrolamide-type GyrB/ParE inhibitors based on the structural modifications of the candidate AZD5099 that was withdrawn from the clinical trials due to safety liabilities such as mitochondrial toxicity. The hydroxyisopropyl pyridazine compound 28 had a significant inhibitory effect on Gyrase (GyrB, IC50 = 49 nmol/L) and a modest inhibitory effect on Topo IV (ParE, IC50 = 1.513 μmol/L) of Staphylococcus aureus. It also had significant antibacterial activities on susceptible and resistant Gram-positive bacteria with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of less than 0.03 μg/mL, which showed a time-dependent bactericidal effect and low frequencies of spontaneous resistance against S. aureus. Compound 28 had better protective effects than the positive control drugs such as DS-2969 ( 5) and AZD5099 ( 6) in mouse models of sepsis induced by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection. It also showed better bactericidal activities than clinically used vancomycin in the mouse thigh MRSA infection models. Moreover, compound 28 has much lower mitochondrial toxicity than AZD5099 ( 6) as well as excellent therapeutic indexes and pharmacokinetic properties. At present, compound 28 has been evaluated as a pre-clinical drug candidate for the treatment of drug-resistant Gram-positive bacterial infection. On the other hand, compound 28 also has good inhibitory activities against stubborn Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli (MIC = 1 μg/mL), which is comparable with the most potent pyrrolamide-type GyrB/ParE inhibitors reported recently. In addition, the structure-activity relationships of the compounds were also studied.

Objective:To discuss the treatment methods for old pelvic fractures and urethral injuries in young girls.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 10 girls, mean age of(8.5±4.3)years with old pelvic fractures and urethral injuries treated with different surgical methods in our hospital from April 2015 to April 2023. 7 cases were complicated with urethrovaginal fistula, 1 case was complicated with vesicovaginal fistula; 5 patients had distal urethral atresia or stenosis; 5 cases complicated with vaginal stenosis or partial atresia. One case underwent repair of urethrovaginal fistula via transpertoineal approach, two cases underwent urethral anastomosis (end to end anastomosis) via transpubic approach, one case underwent repair of urethrovaginal fistula and bladder neck urethral anastomosis via transpubic approach, four cases underwent urethroplasty repair of urethrovaginal fistula and bladder neck reconstruction surgery, one underwent urethroplasty and bladder neck reconstruction surgery via transpubic approach, one underwent augmented enterocystoplasty and continent urinary diversion by using the appendix. Observe the urination condition after operation (Urinary incontinence is defined as the use of more than 1 piece of urine pad per day, good urination is defined as the use of ≤ 1 piece of urine pad per day, and dysuria is defined as the complaint of laborious urination, and the maximum urine flow rate is less than 10 ml/s).Results:All surgeries were successfully completed without complications such as wound infection or tissue necrosis.The postoperative follow-up time was (52.0±26.2) months. 2 cases achieved good continence and no dysuria.Postoperative complications occurred in 7 cases, of which 2 cases had dysuria due to urethral stricture and improved after urethral dilatation; 5 cases of urethrovaginal fistula recurred, of which 3 cases had undergone rerepair surgery, and 2 of them achieved good urinary control without dysuria. One case with enterocystoplasty and contiunent urinary diversion recovered well after surgery.Conclusions:The management of old pelvic fractures and urethral injuries in girls is complicated, with a high rate of postoperative complications. It is necessary to choose appropriate treatment methods based on age, severity of the lesion, and urethral and vaginal conditions.

Objective:To investigate the role of ferroptosis in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) combine with normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) in repairing steatotic liver donor after cardiac death (DCD) in SD rats.Methods:BMMSCs were derived from SD rats to establish the DCD model of rats steatotic liver. A total of 24 rats were randomly divided into four groups: simple steatotic liver model group (Sham), static cold storage group (SCS), NMP, BMMSCs combine with NMP preservation group (BNMP), and the preservation time was 4 hours. The donor liver function was evaluated by liver structure, liver enzymes and lactic acid content of perfusion fluid, bile secretion and inflammatory cytokines; furthermore, in order to evaluate the occurrence of liver ferroptosis, the content of Fe 2+, malondialdehyde and glutathione (GSH) in liver tissue, as well as the mRNA or protein expression changes of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (Ptgs2), glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1) were detected. Results:After DCD steatotic donor liver was preserved for 4 hours, the liver injury, pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines expression in the BNMP and NMP groups were better than those in the SCS group. During the machine perfusion preservation period, alanine aminotransferase [(189.0±12.5)U/L vs. (227.7±16.2)U/L], aspartate aminotransferase [(207.3±18.6)U/L vs. (247.0±11.8)U/L] and lactic acid [(2.3±0.3)mmol/L vs. (2.9±0.2)mmol/L] in the BNMP group is lower than those in NMP group, moreover, the amount of hepatic bile secretion in the BNMP group [(1 245.7±46.8) μl vs. (1 014.3±67.9) μl] was more than that in NMP group, the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). The content of Fe 2+ and malondialdehyde in the liver tissue of BNMP group was significantly lower than those of SCS and NMP groups, on the contrary, the content of GSH was significantly higher than those of SCS and NMP groups. In addition, in the BNMP group, the mRNA level of Ptgs2 and protein level of COX-2 in the liver were significantly reduced, and expression of GPX4 and FTH1 were significantly higher than those of NMP and SCS groups, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusion:BMMSCs combine with normothermic machine perfusion can better repair SD rats DCD steatotic donor liver and its mechanism of action may be related to its regulation on liver ferroptosis.

Objective:To investigate the effect of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) combined with normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) on the intestinal barrier function in rats with acute rejection of liver transplantation.Methods:Specific pathogen free 2 male Brown Norway (BN) rats (4-5 weeks, 40-60 g) were used to isolat BMMSCs, and HO-1 was infected by adenovirus. Of 24 male Lewis rats (7-8 weeks old, 200-220g) were used as donors, 30 male BN rats (8-9 weeks old, 220-240 g) were used as recipients. Acute rejection models of orthotopic liver transplantation were established in rats using two cuff technique. BN recipient rats were randomly divided into five groups: sham group, abdomen of the mice was open and closed within 30 min; NMP livers were simply mechanically perfused for 4 h; the BMP group were perfused with BMMSCs through the portal vein; the HBP group were perfused with HO-1/BMMSCs through the portal vein; the FK506 livers were mechanically perfused for 4 h and administered intragastrically of tacrolimus daily following surgery, 6 per group, on days 14 after surgery, the relevant indicators were taken and the rejection activity index (RAI) changes were investigated. The changes of intestinal pathological were analyzed by HE staining and transmission electron microscope, the expression levels of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and occludin protein in intestinal tissue were detected by Western blotting, the concentrations of lipopolysaccharide, D-lactic acid and diamine oxidase (DAO) in serum were detected by ELISA.Results:The RAI of HBP group (2.80±0.84) and FK506 group (2.20±0.84) were significantly lower than that of NMP group (7.60±1.14) and BMP group (6.00±1.58), the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The intestinal villi in NMP group were significantly sparse, wrinkled and disorderly arranged while the degree of intestinal injury in BMP group, HBP group and FK506 group were more mitigated. Electron microscope observation showed that the microvilli of intestinal epithelial cells in HBP group were rich and orderly, and the tight junction structure between cells was complete. The protein expression levels of ZO-1 and Occludin in the intestinal tissues of HBP group [(0.87±0.06) (1.28±0.26)] were higher than those of NMP group [(0.41±0.12) (0.27±0.18)] and FK506 group [(0.52±0.15) (0.63±0.22)], the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The concentration of lipopolysaccharide, D-lactic acid and DAO in serum of HBP group was lower than those of NMP group and FK506 group, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusion:HO-1/BMMSCs combined with NMP protects the intestinal mucosal barrier function of BN rats with acute rejection after liver transplantation.

Objective:To discuss the diagnosis and treatment 0f WAGR syndrome.Methods:The clinical data of 10 cases of WAGR syndrome children admitted to our hospital from January 2008 to November 2019 were respectively analyzed including the clinical features, diagnosis, and surgical treatments. There were 6 males and 4 females, aged from 13 to 36 months, with an average of 23.6 months. 9 cases were diagnosed as iris absence due to ocular abnormalities in infancy, and 1 case was diagnosed as iris absence due to ocular abnormalities by physical examination because of renal mass. There were 2 boys with cryptorchidism, and 2 boys with hypospadias, 1 of which did not received operation because of mild hypospadias, and another undergoing surgery. There were no abnormality of genitourinary system in the remaining 5 cases. There were 7 cases of unilateral nephroblastoma, with 1 case at the left and 6 cases at the right, and there were 3 cases of bilateral nephroblastoma. Abdominal doppler ultrasound and enhanced abdominal CT were performed for all patients. Abdominal doppler ultrasound indicated solid mass in renal parenchyma or non-uniform echo zone. Abdominal enhanced CT indicated renal tumor with diameter of 1.8 cm-12.7 cm and locally non-uniform enhanced echo. Among the 7 cases of unilateral nephroblastoma, 4 underwent nephrectomy, 1 underwent tumor enucleation, and 2 underwent tumor enucleation for unilateral tumor complicated with nephrogenic rests. There were 3 cases of bilateral nephroblastoma, 2 cases undergoing unilateral tumor enucleation firstly and contralateral tumor enucleation following chemotherapy. One case underwent unilateral tumor nephrectomy followed by contralateral tumor enucleation. One case of unilateral nephrogenic rests did not undergo renal tumor surgery. Preoperative chemotherapy was performed in 7 patients, including 3 bilateral nephroblastoma, 1 unilateral nephroblastoma combined with contralateral nephroblastoma, and 3 unilateral tumors larger enough to pass the midline. The chemotherapy regimen was VCR+ ACTD in 5 cases, VCR+ ACTD+ CTX+ DOX/CDDP+ VP16 and VCR+ CTX+ DOX in another 2 cases respectively.Results:All 10 cases were diagnosed as nephroblastoma. There were 3 patients without preoperative chemotherapy which belongs to COG stageⅠ(1 case) and STAGEⅢ(2 cases); Preoperative chemotherapy was performed in 2 patients with SIOP stage Ⅱ, 2 patients with SIOP stage Ⅲ, and 3 patients with SIOP stageⅤ. Nine children received regular chemotherapy after surgery, among which 1 child in stage Ⅰ received DD4A chemotherapy regimens, 2 children in stage Ⅱ received DD4A and EE4A regimen respectively, and 3 of the 4 children in stage Ⅲ received regular chemotherapy after surgery, including EE4A(1 case)and DD4A(2 cases). EE4A(1 case)and DD4A(2 cases) chemotherapy were performed in 3 patients with stage Ⅴ according to their unilateral tumor stage. Ten cases were followed up, with 9 of the 10 cases having no tumor recurrence or metastasis, and death in 1 case. At present, abdominal doppler ultrasound of 1 child with nephrogenic rests showed no obvious progress. The renal function of 9 children was not significantly abnormal during the regular follow-up. The results of intelligence screening showed that 6 of the 10 patients were significantly behind their peers, and 4 had no obvious abnormality compared with their peers. Gene tests were performed 3 times after surgery, and the results showed the deletion of 11p13 and adjacent distal genes.Conclusions:WAGR syndrome is rare in clinical practice, and renal ultrasound should be monitored after diagnosis to detect renal tumors in early stage. For bilateral cases, renal function should be preserved as long as possible in order to reduce the probability of renal failure. Long-term follow-up of nephroblastoma with this syndrome is particularly important.
