Objective:To investigate the accuracy of risk perception for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) among community residents in Jining and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:Using a multistage cluster random sampling method, community residents from eight communities in Jining were selected between September 2022 and December 2023. Data were collected using a general demographic questionnaire, objective ASCVD risk assessment, the Chinese version of the Attitudes and Beliefs about Cardiovascular Disease Risk Questionnaire-Chinese Version (ABCD-C), the 2018 National Health Literacy Monitoring Survey, and a Self-reported Health Status Questionnaire.Results:Among 955 residents, 325 accurately estimated their ASCVD risk, 173 underestimated it, and 457 overestimated it. Education level and health literacy were influencing factors for overestimating ASCVD risk ( P<0.05), while education level, health literacy, family history of ASCVD, and self-reported health status were influencing factors for underestimating ASCVD risk ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:A significant proportion of Jining community residents underestimated their ASCVD risk. Nurses conducting ASCVD primary prevention education should provide tailored health education based on the local characteristics and cultural background of Jining. Special attention should be given to residents with lower education levels and health literacy, as well as those without a family history of ASCVD or with self-perceived good health, to prevent underestimation of their ASCVD risk.

Objective:To investigate the pathogen distribution, temporal trends in the rates of antimicrobial resistance, and susceptibility of bloodstream isolates and comparatively explore the epidemiological characteristics of bloodstream infections in hematology departments across 56 healthcare facilities in Guangdong Province from 2020 to 2024.Methods:A multicenter analysis was conducted to evaluate the constituent ratio of different pathogens isolated from clinical isolate data from bloodstream specimens in hematology, respiratory, and intensive care unit (ICU) departments across 56 healthcare facilities in Guangdong Province (2020-2024), and antimicrobial resistance trends in pathogens with high-detection rate over 5 years were assessed. Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative organisms (CRO) were randomly sampled for carbapenemase gene detection and in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility tests with novel antimicrobial agents.Results:From 2020 to 2024, a total of 8 968, 6 440, and 25 511 bloodstream isolates were identified in the hematology, respiratory, and ICU departments, respectively, across 56 participating facilities in Guangdong Province, with significant differences in the pathogen constituent ratio among departments ( P<0.001). Notably, the hematology department demonstrated a predominance of Escherichia coli (24.1%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (17.5%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (11.7%), coagulase-negative Staphylococci (15.2%), and Staphylococcus aureus (5.1%). In the resistance analysis, the rates of meropenem resistance of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia increased from 6.7% and 5.8% (2020) to 14.0% and 15.8% (2024), respectively. Conversely, Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibited a declining trend in the rate of meropenem resistance (6.2% to 1.9%) and imipenem (10.2% to 6.1%) during the same period. Acinetobacter baumannii demonstrated a biphasic resistance pattern to common antimicrobial agents, characterized by an initial decline, followed by a rebound. In this study, the susceptibility rates to conventional antimicrobial agents were significantly higher in Staphylococcus aureus versus coagulase-negative Staphylococci, with no glycopeptide- or linezolid-resistant strains detected. Notably, the prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium increased from 0 in 2020 to 23.1% in 2024. CRO carbapenemase phenotypes through active surveillance revealed that 80% Escherichia coli isolates were carrying blaNDM, 90% Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates were carrying blaKPC, 10% Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were carrying blaVIM, and 100% Acinetobacter baumannii were carrying blaOXA-23. The results of the antimicrobial susceptibility test in CRO revealed that carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (CRECO) demonstrated a 0 resistance rate to tigecycline, polymyxin B, and aztreonam/avibactam, whereas carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae exhibited a 0 resistance rate to aztreonam/avibactam, ceftazidime/avibactam, and imipenem/relebactam. Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibited a 95.0% susceptibility rate to amikacin and polymyxin B, with a 45.0% resistance rate to ceftazidime/avibactam. In contrast, carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii demonstrated complete susceptibility (100.0%) to sulbactam/durlobactam (MIC90=2 μg/ml), whereas eravacycline showed MIC50 and MIC90 values of 1 and 2 μg/ml, respectively. Conclusion:The pathogen constituent ratio of bloodstream isolates differed significantly among hematology, respiratory, and ICU departments. Notably, although CRO exhibited an escalating prevalence, it sustained high susceptibility to novel antimicrobial agents.

General practice standardized residency training is a crucial part of postgraduate education for cultivating general practitioner. The factors influencing the quality of general practice residency training cover various aspects such as the residents themselves, teaching staff, management and decision-making levels, as well as teaching resources. Guided by the goal of "fostering virtue through education", and integrated the spirit of Norman Bethune and modern innovation theories and the educational philosophy, the China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University has carried out comprehensive reforms in this field. It has constructed a PDCA cycle management system based on the concept of total quality management to improve the quality of education from multiple links such as quality planning and process monitoring. In terms of faculty development, based on the dissipative structure theory, a mechanism of "selection, evaluation, incentive, and elimination" has been established. Teacher communities have been formed and a training college has been established to strengthen the teaching team. In terms of platform construction, the linkage between "teaching base-community" and "on campus-off campus" has been strengthened and resources have been integrated. The reform has achieved remarkable results, and our practice may provide a reference for general practice medical education.

Objective:To identify the incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the northern Chinese population of Jinan, Shangdong Province, along with its temporal trends from 2005 to 2022.Methods:By utilizing the data from the Jinan basic medical insurance system, a population-based IBD cohort was constructed. This facilitated the computation of both the incidence and prevalence rates of IBD, alongside their temporal trends throughout the 2005 to 2022 timeframe. The 95% confidence intervals were estimated using poisson regression.Results:The overall incidence rate of IBD showed a yearly increasing trend, with age-standardized incidence rates rising from 0.03/100 000 in 2005 to 5.39/100 000 in 2022. The age-standardized incidence rate of ulcerative colitis (UC) increased from 0.03/100 000 in 2005 to 4.97/100 000 in 2022. The age-standardized incidence rate of Crohn's disease (CD) rose from 0.05/100 000 in 2011 to 0.44/100 000 in 2022. The crude prevalence of IBD increased from 0.60/100 000 in 2005 to 32.39/100 000 in 2022. Specifically, the crude prevalence of UC increased from 0.60/100 000 in 2005 to 31.44/100 000 in 2022, while the crude prevalence of CD increased from 0.05/100 000 in 2011 to 1.19/100 000 in 2022.Conclusions:Analysis of recent medical insurance data reveals a continuous uptrend in both the incidence and prevalence of IBD in Jinan, a northern city in China. This underscores the urgent need for enhanced medical resources and healthcare guaruntee to ensure the well-being of individuals afflicted with IBD.

To assess the cross-contamination risk and genetic evolution ofStaphylococcus aureus(S.aureus)at various stages in a swine slaughterhouse,and to provide a reference for risk evalua-tion and control measures of S.aureus contamination during swine slaughtering,we conducted whole-genome sequencing on 31 isolates of S.aureus collected and preserved from the slaughter-house.Bioinformatics analyses were performed to investigate the genomic characteristics and genet-ic relationships of these isolates.Results revealed cross-contamination across different slaughter-house stages,predominantly with ST398-t1451 strains.Additionally,highly virulent ST9-t899 strains and ST398-t11 strains with numerous resistance genes were detected at various stages.The strains predominantly carried virulence genes such as hlgA,hlgB,and hlgC,with varying num-bers of resistance genes.Notably,two strains carried the optrA gene and three strains carried the cfr gene;the presence of the optrA gene is relatively rare among S.aureus.These genes confer re-sistance to novel synthetic antibiotics such as oxazolidinones and florfenicol and have the potential for horizontal gene transfer,increasing the risk of dissemination both within and beyond the slaughterhouse.Importantly,the study also detected a LA-MRSA-ST9 strain in water samples from the slaughterhouse,which could potentially infect humans.This strain exhibits zoonotic char-acteristics,highlighting the need for stricter protective measures for slaughterhouse workers to mitigate occupational exposure and infection risks.

Objective:To analyze the effects of Yiqi Tongluo Decoction combined with acupuncture on hemorheology and neurological function in patients with ischemic stroke due to qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. Methods:This study was designed as a prospective study. It included 120 patients with ischemic stroke due to qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome, all of whom received treatment at Sun Simiao Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine between April 2021 and May 2023. The patients were randomly assigned to either an observation group ( n = 60) or a control group ( n = 60) using a random number table method. Both groups received standard conventional treatment. The control group received acupuncture, while the observation group was treated with both acupuncture and Yiqi Tongluo Decoction. Neurological function deficits were evaluated for both groups before and after treatment, and hemorheological indices, antioxidant enzyme levels, and markers of brain injury were measured to evaluate treatment efficacy. Results:After treatment, the scores on the China Stroke Scale and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale in the observation group were (11.37 ± 1.25) points and (6.18 ± 0.73) points, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [ (15.31 ± 1.59) points, (8.31 ± 0.92) points, t = 15.09,14.05, both P < 0.001]. After treatment, the plasma and whole blood viscosity levels in the observation group were (1.41 ± 0.15) mPa·s and (9.05 ± 1.01) mPa·s, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(1.75 ± 0.18) mPa·s, (10.28 ± 1.14) mPa·s, t = 11.24,6.26, both P < 0.001]. The levels of serum catalase and glutathione peroxidase in the observation group were (160.85 ± 17.11) U/L and (40.31 ± 4.08) U/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(139.64 ± 14.52) U/L, (34.85 ± 3.61) U/L, t = -7.32,-7.76, both P < 0.001]. The serum levels of high mobility group protein-1 and neuron-specific enolase in the observation group were (4.25 ± 0.43) μg/L and (18.57±1.92) μg/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(5.84±0.61) μg/L, (22.63±2.31) μg/L, t = 10.47, 16.50, both P < 0.001]. The overall response rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( χ2 = 6.51, P < 0.05). Conclusions:Yiqi Tongluo Decoction combined with acupuncture has demonstrated significant benefits in treating patients with ischemic stroke due to qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. This approach can enhance hemorheology, increase antioxidant enzyme levels, minimize brain tissue damage, and improve neurological function in patients.

Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) remains a major challenge in psychiatric clinical practice. However, there is still substantial controversy in the academic community regarding how to define and assess it, and treat and manage these patients effectively. This paper reviews the evolution of the concept of "treatment resistance"in depression with a particular focus on comparing the conventional concept of TRD with the recently proposed concept of "Difficult-to-Treat Depression (DTD)". It explores the underlying rationale and logic behind this conceptual shift, and discusses the practical challenges associated with implementing the "DTD" framework in clinical practice. Finally, the paper provides targeted recommendations to address these challenges, aiming to serve as a reference for psychiatric clinicians and researchers in China.

Anticipatory anxiety is a negative emotion that arises when individuals encounter potential threats or uncertainties in the future. It is the core symptom of a variety of anxiety disorders, and is closely associated with the occurrence, severity, treatment outcome, and prognosis of anxiety disorders, which has garnered a growing amount of focus in clinical practice. Nevertheless, scientific research on anticipatory anxiety continues to face obstacles such as unclear pathological mechanisms, the absence of simple and consistent self-assessment tools, and effective interventions. To improve understanding of the role of anticipatory anxiety in the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders, this study reviews pertinent domestic and international literature, and briefly introduces the concept, assessment and measurement, activation paradigm, pathological mechanisms, and interventions of anticipatory anxiety.
