Objective This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacterial strains isolated from pediatric intensive care units(PICU)in China for better antimicrobial therapy.Methods Clinical isolates were collected from 17 institutions,including tertiary care children's hospitals and pediatric department of tertiary general hospitals in China from January 1,2020 to December 31,2022.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out according to a unified protocol using Kirby-Bauer method or automated systems.Results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2020.Results A total of 10 688 isolates were collected,including gram-positive organisms(39.2％)and gram-negative organisms(60.8％).The top three organisms were S.aureus(13.6％,1 453/10 688),A.baumannii(10.0％,1 067/10 688),and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(9.9％,1 058/10 688).Multi-drug resistant organisms(MDROs)were very common in children.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA),carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE),carbapenem-resistant E.coli,carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae(CRKP),carbapenem-resistant A.baumannii(CRAB),and carbapenem-resistant P.aeruginosa(CRPA)was 41.1％,19.4％,8.8％,30.9％,67.4％,and 28.8％,respectively.Overall,more than 50％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to cephalosporins,while nearly 25％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to carbapenems.MDROs were highly resistant to commonly used antibiotics.More than 80％of CRE and CRAB strains were resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics.CRE and CRAB showed low resistance rates to tigecycline and polymyxin.CRPA showed lower resistance rates to piperacillin,beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations than the resistance rates to third and fourth generation cephalosporins.All of the Staphylococcus and Enterococcus isolates were susceptible to vancomycin and tigecycline.None of PRSP strains isolated from meningitis and nonmeningitis samples were resistant to rifampicin,vancomycin,or linezolid.The prevalence of β-lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant(BLNAR)strains was 43.3％in Haemophilus influenzae.Conclusions MDROs were prevalent in PICU.It is necessary to establish an effective multidisciplinary team(MDT)to control the antimicrobial resistance.

Accessory cavitated uterine malformation(ACUM)is a rare unique congenital Müllerian duct malformation.Its main clinical manifestations are abdominal pain shortly after menarche and progressive aggravation,also may present as chronic periodic lower abdominal pain or abnormal uterine bleeding.Because it occurs rarely,it is easy to cause misdiagnosis or delay diagnosis.This paper reports the clinical manifestations,diagnosis and treatment of a young patient with ACUM,and reviews the literature to deepen the understanding of this rare genital tract malformation.

Objective To investigate the correlation between skeletal muscle mass index(ASMI)and islet β cell reserve function in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 100 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM were included in this study.All the patients were admitted to the Department of Endocrinology in the First People's Hospital of Yinchuan between June 2022 and November 2023.They were divided into two groups according to their skeletal muscle mass index(ASMI):patients with T2DM accompanied by sarcopenia(Sar,n=50)group,and patients with simple T2DM(T2DM,n=50)group.Additionally,a control(NC)group consisting of 50 healthy participants was selected.Fasting C-peptide levels,liver and kidney function,blood lipid profiles,and other indicators were assessed in all the individuals.The correlation between ASMI and other indicators was analyzed,and the influencing factors for ASMI and T2DM combined with sarcopenia were analyzed respectively.Results The levels of HbA1c,FPG,and TG were higher,while FC-P and Scr levels were lower in the T2DM group and Sar group compared with the NC group(P<0.05).FPG was higher,while ASMI,FC-P,BMI were lower in the Sar group than in the T2DM group(P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis revealed a negative correlation between ASMI and FPG and HbA1c(P<0.05),whereas a positive correlation was observed with BMI,ALT,Scr,SUA and FC-P(P<0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that BMI,HbA1c and FC-P were influencing factors for ASMI(P<0.05).Furthermore,logistic regression analysis demonstrated that BMI,HbA1c,FC-P were influencing factors for T2DM with sarcopenia(P<0.05).Conclusions The level of ASMI may be related to the reserve function of islet β cells.

Objective:To explore the effect of cardiac rehabilitation exercise based on Williams life skills training(WLST)on cardio-psychological health and physical activity index in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods:A total of 326 AMI patients undergoing PCI in our hospital from August 2019 to July 2021 were selected.They were divided into control group(n=163)and ex-periment group(n=163)using random number table method.The control group received conventional cardiac reha-bilitation,while the experiment group received cardiac rehabilitation based on WLST.Both groups were intervened for six months.Left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)level,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDd),6min walking distance(6MWD),scores of self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)and self-rating depression scale(SDS)and physical activity index were compared between two groups before and after intervention.Results:Compared with the control group,after 6-month intervention,there were significant rise in LVEF[(43.94±6.64)％vs.(48.77±7.29)％],6MWD[(373.66±49.64)m vs.(455.91±48.18)m]and pro-portion of people taking moderate intensity physical activity(32.5％vs.45.4％)(P＜0.05 or＜0.01),and signifi-cant reductions in BNP level[(42.64±9.08)pg/ml vs.(38.53±8.55)pg/ml],scores of SAS[(47.45±4.48)points vs.(42.40±4.79)points]and SDS[(48.47±4.93)points vs.(43.90±4.71)points],and proportion of people taking low intensity physical activity(55.2％vs.36.8％)in experiment group(P＜0.001 all).Conclusion:Cardiac rehabilitation exercise based on Williams life skills training can significantly improve cardiac function and physical activity level,relieve depression and anxiety in patients with acute myocardial infarction after PCI.

During coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, the treatment of severe trauma has been impacted. The Consensus on emergency surgery and infection prevention and control for severe trauma patients with 2019 novel corona virus pneumonia was published online on February 12, 2020, providing a strong guidance for the emergency treatment of severe trauma and the self-protection of medical staffs in the early stage of the epidemic. With the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council renaming "novel coronavirus pneumonia" to "novel coronavirus infection" and the infection being managed with measures against class B infectious diseases since January 8, 2023, the consensus published in 2020 is no longer applicable to the emergency treatment of severe trauma in the new stage of epidemic prevention and control. In this context, led by the Chinese Traumatology Association, Chinese Trauma Surgeon Association, Trauma Medicine Branch of Chinese International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology, the Chinese expert consensus on emergency surgery for severe trauma and infection prevention during coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic ( version 2023) is formulated to ensure the effectiveness and safety in the treatment of severe trauma in the new stage. Based on the policy of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council and by using evidence-based medical evidence as well as Delphi expert consultation and voting, 16 recommendations are put forward from the four aspects of the related definitions, infection prevention, preoperative assessment and preparation, emergency operation and postoperative management, hoping to provide a reference for severe trauma care in the new stage of the epidemic prevention and control.
