Background Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important pathogen for both human bloodstream infections and mastitis in cows. However, little attention has been paid to the cross-host transmission of MRSA from cows to high-risk groups in China. Objective To determine the MRSA colonization rates among dairy cows and dairy farm workers in Xinjiang, identify the antibiotic resistance profiles and molecular characteristics of the isolates, and provide scientific evidence for the formulation of targeted infection control strategies. Method A cross-sectional survey combined with laboratory pathogen analysis was conducted. From June to August 2024, large-scale dairy farms in Xinjiang region were selected as study sites. Nasal swabs (n=96) and skin swabs (n=39) were collected from workers, and bovine nasal swab samples (n=109) were collected simultaneously. All samples were subjected to MRSA isolation, cultivation, and identification, followed by antibiotic susceptibility testing to characterize resistance phenotypes. Staphylococcus aureus protein A (Spa) typing was performed to determine strain genotypes and elucidate MRSA colonization rates and molecular epidemiological patterns. Results A total of 35 MRSA strains was successfully isolated from 244 samples. The MRSA colonization rates among dairy farm workers and dairy cows were 20.83% (20/96) and 12.84% (14/109), respectively, with an overall isolation rate of 14.34% (35/244). Among the workers, the nasal colonization rate was 16.67% (16/96), and the skin colonization rate was 12.82% (5/39). One worker exhibited MRSA colonization at multiple body sites. All MRSA strains were resistant to cefoxitin (100%, 35/35). The resistance rates to erythromycin and clindamycin were 42.86% (15/35) and 34.29% (12/35), respectively. Thirteen strains showed a multidrug-resistant phenotype, whereas all strains were susceptible to vancomycin. The MRSA isolates exhibited high genetic diversity, with 13 Spa types identified, among which t441 was the most prevalent (8 strains). Both t441 and t034 types were detected in samples from both the dairy cows and their handlers. These two Spa types also carried and stably inherited specific resistance combinations, including erythromycin–clindamycin–cefoxitin and ciprofloxacin–erythromycin–clindamycin–gentamicin–cefoxitin–tetracycline, and a statistically significant association was also observed between the two resistance profiles and the bacterial types (P < 0.001). In addition, one novel Spa type strain was identified. Conclusion MRSA colonization rates among dairy cows and dairy farm workers in Xinjiang are relatively high, with evidence of multi-site colonization. The isolates exhibit high levels of multidrug resistance and genetic diversity, indicating a potential risk of cross-host transmission.

With the extended survival period of breast cancer patients and the increasing health demands, the concomitant diseases of breast cancer have gradually attracted the attention of both doctors and patients, and it is imperative to conduct comprehensive management of these diseases, in which the general practitioners, as the more comprehensive and complex medical talents, have not yet played their due roles. In this article, we report two cases of comprehensive management of concomitant diseases of breast cancer through collaboration of general practitioners and specialists (integrated general and specialist care). The role and function of general practitioners in this process were deeply analyzed, and the establishment of a consultation-liaison general practice model to further promote the role of integrated general and specialist care in integrated oncology care was advocated.

With the improvement of diagnosis and treatment level, most breast cancer patients survive in a chronic state for a long time, and the issue of concomitant diseases of breast cancer (CDBC) has become increasingly prominent. All-round and full-cycle management of these comorbidities can help improve patients’ quality of life and prognosis. General practice, with its long-term, comprehensive and responsible health care that is person-centered, family-based, community-wide and oriented to the maintenance and promotion of overall health, presents new opportunities for the health management of CDBC. This article will explore the application of consultation-liaison general practice through the integrated general and specialist care in the comprehensive management of CDBC, aiming to raise people’s awareness of it and promote the development of consultation-liaison general practice and the management model of the "Internet plus general practitioner team" , which will surely contribute to the all-round management of concomitant diseases in breast cancer patients.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic efficacy of fat fraction(FF)and T2* values of infrapatellar fat pad(IPFP)based on MR mDixon-Quant technique for knee osteoarthritis(KOA),and to analyze their related influencing factors.Methods A total of 178 knee joints from 114 volunteers were included and underwent knee joints X-ray examination and MR mDixon-Quant sequence scanning.The correlation between FF and T2* values of IPFP with gender,age,body mass index(BMI),and K-L grade was analyzed by Spearman's test and multiple linear regression.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were plotted to assess the diag-nostic efficacy of FF and T2* values for KOA.Results FF value of IPFP was negatively correlated with age,BMI,and K-L grade(r=-0.470,-0.276,-0.679,P＜0.001),and T2* value was also negatively correlated with age,BMI,and K-L grade(r=-0.291,-0.173,-0.505,P＜0.001).Multiple linear regression analysis results showed that only K-L grade had a statistically significant correlation with FF and T2* values(P＜0.001).ROC curve analysis indicated that the area under the curve(AUC)for diagnosing KOA using the FF and T2* values of IPFP were 0.859 and 0.767,respectively,with sensitivity of 0.878 and 0.841,and specificity of 0.719 and 0.573,respectively.The combined diagnosis had an AUC of 0.855,a sensitivity of 0.625,and a specificity of 0.963,improving the diagnostic specificity for KOA.Conclusion FF and T2* values of IPFP can serve as objective imaging indicators for KOA assessment,and their reduction is correlated with the progress of age,BMI,and K-L grade,of which the K-L grade is an independent influencing factor.The combination of FF and T2 can improve the diagnostic specificity of KOA,and provide a quantitative basis for early KOA detection and severity stratification.

Objective:To investigate the selection of treatment methods for renal tumors in pilots as well as the clinical significance of robot-assisted surgery by summarizing the process of robot-assisted surgery in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma in a pilot.Methods:The diagnosis, robot-assisted surgery and aeromedical assessment of a pilot with renal cell carcinoma were reported, and the related literature was reviewed.Results:The patient was a 44-year-old male transporter pilot, who was diagnosed with a left renal mass in the middle-lower pole of the kidney during a routine abdominal CT scan. After detailed preoperative evaluation that ruled out the possibility of distant metastasis and other surgical contraindications, the patient underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in August 2022. The postoperative recovery went well, and renal function remained within normal limits at follow-ups. In March 2023, the pilot was concluded as qualified for flight after aeromedical assessment.Conclusions:Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy can significantly reduce surgical trauma, lower the risk of complications, and maximally preserve renal function. It is a good approach to renal tumors in pilots who can recover quickly.

With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.
