Objective To understand the current situation and dynamic changing trends of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in a tertiary first-class hospital in the northwest of Hunan Province from 2015 to 2024,and provide scientific basis for optimizing infection control strategies.Methods A single-day cross-sectional survey method was employed to investigate the HAI prevalence rates of hospitalized patients on the given survey day each year from 2015 to 2024.The standardized survey protocol on prevalence rate issued by the National Medical Institution Infec-tion Surveillance Network was strictly adhered,lanqingting real-time HAI monitoring management platform was adopted to retrieve cases from the hospital information system,and R4.2.2 was applied for statistical analysis.Results From 2015 to 2024,the prevalence rate of HAI decreased from 3.03％in 2015 to 1.76％in 2024(Z=-3.37,P＜0.001),and the HAI case prevalence rate decreased from 3.55％in 2015 to 2.20％in 2024(Z=-2.81,P=0.005).Department of critical care medicine continuously had the highest HAI case prevalence rate,which presented a downward trend over time(Z=-2.84,P=0.004).The main site of HAI was lower respiratory tract,accounting for 39.36％to 48.15％,bloodstream infection increased from 3.57％in 2015-2016 to 10.60％in 2023-2024(Z=2.41,P=0.016).A total of 302 strains of HAI pathogens were detected,including 212 strains(70.20％)of Gram-negative bacteria,mainly Pseudomonas aeruginosa(n=55,18.21％),Escherichia coli(n=45,14.90％),Acinetobacter baumannii(n=33,10.93％),and Klebsiella pneumoniae(n=31i,10.26％).65 strains(21.52％)of Gram-positive bacteria were identified,with Enterococcus faecium(n=19,6.29％)and Staphylococcus aureus(n=18,5.96％)accounting for the highest proportions.25 fungal strains(8.28％)were detected,mainly Candi-da albicans(n=11,3.64％).The use rate of antimicrobial agents showed a downward trend over the past decade(Z=-4.01,P＜0.001).Therapeutic antimicrobial use accounting for 82.42％,and its proportion increased over time(Z=6.02,P＜0.001).Prophylactic antimicrobial use accounted for 16.42％,showing a decreasing trend(Z=-2.75,P＜0.001).The pathogen detection rate presented an upward trend over the past decade(Z=13.01,P＜0.001).Conclusion The prevalence rate and case prevalence rate of HAI present a downward trend in this hospi-tal.In the future,it is necessary to establish a monitoring data-based dynamic analysis mechanism,achieve timely feedback and intervention in data monitoring,pay attention to high-risk links in department of critical care medicine,implement precise prevention and control mearsures,perform targeted prevention and control for lower respiratory tract,urinary tract,and bloodstream infection,optimize diagnosis and treatment processes,use antimicrobial agents rationally,and pay attention to the prevalence trend of Gram-negative bacteria.

This case involves a 53-year-old female patient who underwent mechanical mitral valve replacement and has been on long-term warfarin anticoagulant therapy,subsequently developed diffuse ecchymoses of the limbs and progressive both lower extremities swelling after she self-adjusted her warfarin dosage from 3 mg to 6 mg daily over 5 consecutive days.After admission,the patient's international normalized ratio was 12.71,and creatine kinase level was 1,989.47 U·L-1,which led to the diagnosis of coagulopathy and rhabdomyolysis due to warfarin overdose.Following discontinuation of warfarin and initiation of fluid resuscitation therapy,the patient's creatine kinase levels returned to normal after 6 d.Thiscase underscores the necessity of refining long-term warfarin management strategies and enhancing patient education to improve medication adherence and ensure both the efficacy and safety of anticoagulation therapy.

Objective:To investigate the application effects of learning pyramid theory combined with constructivism in the standardized training of nurses in the department of gastroenterology.Methods:We randomly divided 104 gastroenterology nurses who received standardized training from October 2021 to October 2023 into observation group and control group, with 52 nurses in each group. The control group received conventional teaching, while the observation group received a combination of learning pyramid theory and constructivist teaching. The two groups were compared in terms of theoretical and practical scores, core competencies, self-learning abilities, and professional values scores before and after training. SPSS 23.0 was used to perform the t-test. Results:After training, the two groups showed improvements in all the tests; and the scores were all significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group: theoretical knowledge [(88.61±15.62) vs. (81.76±14.27)], skill practice [(82.91±15.17) vs. (76.40±13.82)], Competency Inventory for Registered Nurses scale score [(157.83±21.73) vs. (125.40±15.77)], self-learning ability score [(123.38±21.62) vs. (97.43±15.23)], and Nurse Professional Values scale score [(89.15±14.63) vs. (78.52±12.84)].Conclusions:The teaching model of learning pyramid theory and constructivism theory can enhance standardized training effectiveness for gastroenterology nurses.

Jasmonic acid (JA), a plant endogenously synthesized lipid hormone, plays an important role in response to stress. This manuscript summarized the biosynthesis and metabolism of JA and its related regulatory mechanisms, as well as the signal transduction of JA. The mechanism and regulatory network of JA in plant response to biotic and abiotic stresses were systematically reviewed, with the latest advances highlighted. In addition, this review summarized the signal crosstalk between JA and other hormones in regulating plant resistance to various stresses. Finally, the problems to be solved in the study of plant stress resistance mediated by JA were discussed, and the application of new molecular biological technologies in regulating JA signaling to enhance crop resistance was prospected, with the aim to facilitate future research and application of plant stress resistance.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a severe disease with an increasing incidence rate in clinical practice. Although most patients have mild pancreatitis, the fatality rate of severe pancreatitis remains at a relatively high level, and therefore, early-stage, simple, and accurate clinical scoring systems are urgently needed to determine the severity of AP, so as to facilitate effective disease management and symptomatic treatment and reduce the fatality rate of patients. At present, a large number of studies have demonstrated that the scoring systems such as Ranson score, APACHE Ⅱ score, BISAP score, CTSI score, and some serological markers have been used to evaluate the severity and prognosis of AP, but all of them have certain limitations. This article reviews the research advances in the existing scoring systems, single serological markers, and related modified scoring systems in recent years. Through a literature review, it is concluded that there is no a single scoring system or a single indicator that can cover the whole process of AP diagnosis and treatment and accurately judge the severity of AP, and therefore, it is necessary to develop a new scoring system or combine various indicators for comprehensive evaluation.

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a common adverse pregnancy outcome in women of childbearing age and its etiology is complex and still not clear. The maternal-fetal interface microenvironment plays a key role in maintaining pregnancy. There are trophoblast cells, decidual stromal cells and immune cells in the maternal-fetal interface microenvironment. The abnormal number or function of these cells may induce changes in the microenvironment of maternal-fetal interface, such as spiral artery remodeling disorder and abnormal decidualization, which may lead to RSA. This review discusses the role and mechanism of these three main cells in RSA.
