Objective To explore the characteristics of oropharyngeal metabolites of postoperative pneumonia(POP)and non-POP patients with gastric cancer by non-targeted metabolomics,and to provide reference for revea-ling the pathogenesis as well as clinical prevention and control.Methods Oropharyngeal swabs were collected from patients who underwent surgical treatment for gastric cancer in the department of gastrointestinal surgery of a tertia-ry hospital in Fujian Province from January 2022 to December 2023,nested case-control study was adopted,with 30 cases in POP group and non-POP group,respectively,ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UHPLC-MS/MS)technique was adopted for detection,and multivariate statistical analysis was per-formed.Results The metabolites of POP group and non-POP group preoperatively,POP group and non-POP group postoperatively,POP group preoperatively and postoperatively,as well as non-POP group preoperatively and post-operatively did not show a clear trend of separation on the score graph of principal component analysis(PCA),par-tial least squares discriminant analysis(PLS-DA),and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA),but the screening of the differential metabolites revealed that the relative abundances of ascorbic acid and lipoic acid in the POP group preoperatively were lower than non-POP group preoperatively.The relative abundance of 5'-adenylic acid in the POP group preoperatively was lower than postoperatively,while the relative abundances of suc-cinic acid and phenylacetaldehyde were higher.There were differences in metabolic pathways such as phenylalanine.Conclusion Alteration of metabolite level due to abnormalities in specific metabolic pathways presents in the deve-lopment of gastric cancer POP and may be related to the development of POP.

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.

Objective:To explore the effect of complications simulated experience in school-age children with type 1 diabetes mellitus.Methods:From March to December 2021, 80 school-age children with type 1 diabetes mellitus who were followed up in the Endocrinology Department of Quanzhou Children's Hospital were selected by convenient sampling. Children were divided into a control group and an observation group using random number method, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received routine treatment and traditional health education, while the observation group implemented complications simulated experience intervention on the basis of the control group. Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire and Diabetes Knowledge Test were used to evaluate the self-management ability and diabetes knowledge of the two groups of children before and after intervention.Results:The observation group included 37 children, while the control group included 38 children. After intervention, the scores of Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire and Diabetes Knowledge Test of children in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Complications simulated experience can improve the self-management ability and diabetes knowledge of school-age children with type 1 diabetes mellitus, which is worthy of clinical promotion and practice.

OBJECTIVES: Safe and effective anticoagulation is essential for hemodialysis patients who are at high risk of bleeding. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of two-stage regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) combined with sequential anticoagulation and standard calcium-containing dialysate in intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) treatment. METHODS: Patients at high risk of bleeding who underwent IHD from September 2019 to May 2021 were prospectively enrolled in 13 blood purification centers of nephrology departments, and were randomly divided into RCA group and saline flushing group. In the RCA group, 0.04 g/mL sodium citrate was infused from the start of the dialysis line during blood draining and at the venous expansion chamber. The sodium citrate was stopped after 3 h of dialysis, which was changed to sequential dialysis without anticoagulant. The hazard ratios for coagulation were according to baseline. RESULTS: A total of 159 patients and 208 sessions were enrolled, including RCA group (80 patients, 110 sessions) and saline flushing group (79 patients, 98 sessions). The incidence of severe coagulation events of extracorporeal circulation in the RCA group was significantly lower than that in the saline flushing group (3.64% vs. 20.41%, P<0.001). The survival time of the filter pipeline in the RCA group was significantly longer than that in the saline flushing group ((238.34±9.33) min vs. (221.73±34.10) min, P<0.001). The urea clearance index (Kt/V) in the RCA group was similar to that in the saline flushing group with no statistically significant difference (1.12±0.34 vs. 1.08±0.34, P=0.41). CONCLUSIONS Compared with saline flushing, the two-stage RCA combined with a sequential anticoagulation strategy significantly reduced extracorporeal circulation clotting events and prolonged the dialysis time without serious adverse events.

Objective:To systematically review the effect of information technology-based transitional care on the treatment effect of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) , so as to provide a reliable scientific basis for their out-of-hospital transitional care.Methods:Randomized controlled trial (RCT) of information technology continued nursing intervention for children and adolescents with T1DM in PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI and other databases were searched by computer. The retrieval time was from the establishment of databases to July 31, 2021. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, literature was screened and data was extracted. Cochrane was used to evaluate the risk of bias for literature quality. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software, and subgroup analysis was conducted on intervention methods, duration and intervention objects of different ages.Results:Finally, a total of 12 literatures were included, and the quality of literatures was medium. A total of 1 353 cases were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that there were significant differences in the glycated hemoglobin value and the incidence of acute complications between the information technology transitional care group and the traditional nursing group ( P<0.05) . Subgroup analysis showed that different intervention methods (App, Internet platform) and duration of intervention had significant differences in the effect of out-of-hospital treatment for children and adolescents with T1DM ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The use of information technology-based transitional care can improve out-of-hospital glycosylated hemoglobin value and reduce the incidence of acute complications in children and adolescents with T1DM. Different intervention methods (App, Internet platform) and different intervention time can improve the out-of-hospital treatment effect of children and adolescents with T1DM. It is suggested to promote information technology continuation care in out-of-hospital treatment of children and adolescents with T1DM.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)in very preterm infants(VPI), and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of BPD in VPI.Methods:A prospective multicenter study was designed to collect the clinical data of VPI in department of neonatology of 28 hospitals in 7 regions from September 2019 to December 2020.According to the continuous oxygen dependence at 28 days after birth, VPI were divided into non BPD group and BPD group, and the risk factors of BPD in VPI were analyzed.Results:A total of 2 514 cases of VPI including 1 364 cases without BPD and 1 150 cases with BPD were enrolled.The incidence of BPD was 45.7%.The smaller the gestational age and weight, the higher the incidence of BPD( P<0.001). Compared with non BPD group, the average birth age, weight and cesarean section rate in BPD group were lower, and the incidence of male infants, small for gestational age and 5-minute apgar score≤7 were higher( P<0.01). In BPD group, the incidences of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS), hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus, retinopathy of prematurity, feeding intolerance, extrauterine growth restriction, grade Ⅲ~Ⅳ intracranial hemorrhage, anemia, early-onset and late-onset sepsis, nosocomial infection, parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis were higher( P<0.05), the use of pulmonary surfactant(PS), postnatal hormone exposure, anemia and blood transfusion were also higher, and the time of invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation, oxygen use and total hospital stay were longer( P<0.001). The time of starting enteral nutrition, cumulative fasting days, days of reaching total enteral nutrition, days of continuous parenteral nutrition, days of reaching 110 kcal/(kg·d) total calorie, days of reaching 110 kcal/(kg·d) oral calorie were longer and the breastfeeding rate was lower in BPD group than those in non BPD group( P<0.001). The cumulative doses of amino acid and fat emulsion during the first week of hospitalization were higher in BPD group( P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that NRDS, invasive mechanical ventilation, age of reaching total enteral nutrition, anemia and blood transfusion were the independent risk factors for BPD in VPI, and older gestational age was the protective factor for BPD. Conclusion:Strengthening perinatal management, avoiding premature delivery and severe NRDS, shortening the time of invasive mechanical ventilation, paying attention to enteral nutrition management, reaching whole intestinal feeding as soon as possible, and strictly mastering the indications of blood transfusion are very important to reduce the incidence of BPD in VPI.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of breathing training method and time on postoperative pneumonia in patients with lung cancer, so as to provide a reference for postoperative pneumonia prevention and control.Methods:A systematic retrieval of PubMed, Web of Science, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, CNKI and other databases was conducted to collect RCTS of lung cancer patients undergoing respiratory training combined with respiratory trainers on the basis of routine nursing during perioperative period. The retrieval period was from the establishment of database to April 2021. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, literature was screened and extracted, and literature quality was evaluated. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software.Results:Finally, a total of 9 RCT articles were included, including 1 239 cases of lung cancer surgery patients. Among them, there were 624 cases in the control group and 615 cases in the intervention group. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with conventional nursing, combined breathing training with breathing trainer could reduce the incidence of postoperative pneumonia [ RR=0.38, 95% CI (0.26, 0.57) , P<0.000 01]. Combined breathing trainer intervention for 1 week [ RR=0.27, 95% CI (0.14, 0.52) , P<0.000 1], intervention frequency for more than 4 times /d[ RR=0.36, 95% CI (0.23, 0.57) , P<0.000 1], duration of single breathing training for more than or equal to 15 min[ RR=0.34, 95% CI (0.20, 0.58) , P<0.000 1) reduced the incidence of pneumonia in patients. Conclusions:In the perioperative period, respiratory training combined with respiratory trainer on the basis of routine nursing, training frequency for more than 4 times /d, duration of single breathing training for more than or equal to 15 min can improve lung function of patients undergoing lung cancer surgery and reduce the incidence of postoperative pneumonia, which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and safety of long-term home mechanical ventilation(HMV) in children with chronic respiratory failure.Methods:Clinical data of 11 children with chronic respiratory failure, who underwent HMV with the care of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from January 2013 to December 2019, were retrospectively reviewed. The clinical manifestation, growth and development, quality of life, adverse events and prognosis of HMV children were analyzed.Results:There were 8 boys and 3 girls with the onset age of 26 days to 13 years old; and the age at starting HMV was 3 months to 13 years old. Eight children were diagnosed as neuromuscular diseases, and 3 children were diagnosed as respiratory diseases. The duration of institutional mechanical ventilation was 2 weeks to 8 months. Six patients underwent invasive HMV via a tracheostomy, and 5 received non-invasive ventilation via nasal and face masks. Bi-level positive airway pressure ventilation mode was applied in all the patients. The duration of HMV was 3 months to 27 months. During follow-up, no HMV related adverse events were observed. Both the quality of life and nutritional status were improved in all cases. One patient lost follow-up 9 months later and 1 patient died of severe adenovirus pneumonia during hospitalization for examination, the remaining 9 cases survived. Liberation from HMV was obtained in 4 patients. The frequency of readmission was 1 to 2 times.Conclusion:It is suggested that long-term HMV is safe and feasible for children with chronic respiratory failure.
