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.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Background and purpose:Thyroid cancer is the most common malignant endocrine tumor,particularly prevalent among the Asian population.The overall survival for thyroid cancer patients is relatively high,but there are significant survival differences among patients.Based on long-term hospital-based cancer registry database,this study analyzed the 10-year observed overall survival(OS)rate of thyroid cancer cases and the distribution of causes of death,providing real-world evidences to further survival management of thyroid cancer in China.Methods:A total of 55343 thyroid cancer patients who underwent treatment at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer center from 2005 to 2021 were included in this study.Clinical information and the follow-up endpoint data were collected through medical records review,telephone visits and death registry data linkage.The last follow-up date was October 31,2024.Kaplan-Meier method was applied in evaluating the OS rate,and survival data were described by different subgroups as age group,gender,treatment period,tumor staging and pathological characteristics.The standardized mortality ratio(SMR)and absolute excess risk(AER)were calculated using general Shanghai population as the reference,and the mortality risk was described by gender,age at diagnosis and histological subtype.Results:With a median follow-up time of 63.01 months,the overall 1-,3-,5-and 10-year OS rates of thyroid cancer patients were 99.67%(95%CI:99.62%-99.72%),99.11%(95%CI:99.03%-99.19%),98.48%(95%CI:98.36%-98.60%)and 95.81%(95%CI:95.50%-96.11%),respectively.The 10-year OS rates of stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ were 97.99%(95%CI:97.70%-98.28%),89.80%(95%CI:87.24%-92.37%),77.84%(95%CI:70.76%-84.92%)and 62.95%(95%CI:55.37%-70.54%),respectively.The differences in OS among patients with different age,gender and histological classification were significant.1256(2.27%)deaths occurred,of which 18.63%,50.88%and 7.32%were attributable to thyroid cancer,other cancers and cardiovascular disease(CVD),respectively.Compared with the general population,patients with different subtypes of thyroid cancer had higher all-cause mortality rates,progressively increasing with papillary,follicular,medullary and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma/poorly differentiated carcinoma.Compared with general population,the death risk was 2.24 times higher in papillary thyroid cancer patients(95%CI:2.06-2.44),9.94 times higher in follicular thyroid cancer patients(95%CI:6.79-14.09),12.16 times higher in medullary thyroid cancer patients(95%CI:8.05-17.69),and the highest risk was observed in patients with anaplastic thyroid carcinoma/poorly differentiated carcinoma[SMR=79.67(95%CI:58.38-106.31),AER=766.01/1 000 person-years].Conclusion:The 10-year long survival data and cause of death for thyroid cancer patients with different histological types were reported in China based on a large single institution hospital-based cancer registry database.Staging and histological characteristics were the most important factors directly affected the survival.Early diagnosis and individualized treatment are crucial for improving prognosis.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of 2 endoscopic spine surgeries on the biomechanical properties of normal and osteoporotic spines. Methods: Based on computed tomography images of a healthy adult volunteer, 6 finite element models were created. After validating the normal intact model, a concentrated force of 400 N and a moment of 7.5 Nm were exerted on the upper surface of L3 to simulate 6 physiological activities of the spine. Five types of indices were used to assess the biomechanical properties of the 6 models, range of motion (ROM), maximum displacement value, intervertebral disc stress, maximum stress value, and articular protrusion stress, and by combining them with finite element stress cloud. Results: In normal and osteoporotic spines, there was no meaningful change in ROM or disc stress in the 2 surgical models for the 6 motion states. Model N1 (osteoporotic percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy model) showed a decrease in maximum displacement value of 20.28% in right lateral bending. Model M2 (unilateral biportal endoscopic model) increased maximum displacement values of 16.88% and 17.82% during left and right lateral bending, respectively. The maximum stress value of L4–5 increased by 11.72% for model M2 during left rotation. In addition, using the same surgical approach, ROM, maximum displacement values, disc stress, and maximum stress values were more significant in the osteoporotic model than in the normal model. Conclusion In both normal and osteoporotic spines, both surgical approaches were less disruptive to the physiologic structure of the spine. Furthermore, using the same endoscopic spine surgery, normal spine biomechanical properties are superior to osteoporotic spines.
