Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of urinary microbiota transplantation(UMT)in treating interstitial cystitis(IC).Methods:A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of three patients with IC treated with UMT at the Central Hospital of Jiangnan University from May 2022 to August 2024. Three women(45,62,79 years)presented with urinary frequency(10 - 90 min intervals),urgency,dysuria,lower abdominal pain,and non-organic sleep disorder,with nocturia(2 - 15 episodes)causing sleep difficulty. Disease durations were 3,6,and 21 years. Prior antibiotic therapy failed. Preoperative urinalysis/culture(x2)ruled out bacterial cystitis,and diagnosed as interstitial cystitis(IC),with one of transient positive urine culture. Preoperative scores for case 1 were self-rating depression scale(SDS)of 49,self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)of 31,interstitial cystitis symptom index(ICSI)of 5,interstitial cystitis problem index(ICPI)of 2,brief urological problem scale of 50,genitourinary pain assessment scale of 10,and pain catastrophizing scale(PCS)of 0. For case 2,the scores were 60 of SDS,66 of SAS,9 of ICSI,11 of ICPI,50 of brief urological problem scale,28 of genitourinary pain assessment scale,and 34 of PCS. For case 3,the scores were 44 of SDS,48 of SAS,11 of ICSI,5 of ICPI,33 of brief urological problem scale,27 of genitourinary pain assessment scale,and 21 of PCS. Preoperative bladder hydro-distention showed mucosal hemorrhage including central block hemorrhage(Case 1),numerous spots(Case 2),and distinct sheets(Case 3). Preoperative urine 16S rRNA sequencing revealed low diversity,increased Gardnerella/ Bacteroides(opportunistic),and decreased Bacillus/ Streptococcus(beneficial). Two healthy young female donors had normal comprehensive tests covering blood/urine/stool,coagulation,CRP,immunity,liver/kidney function,lipids,infectious diseases,hormones,tumor markers,urine culture,TOUCH,and expanded quantitative urine culture. Donor urine 16S rRNA showed low pathogenic( Gardnerella/ Bacteroides)abundance. Donor midstream morning urine was catheter-collected,centrifuged,and the bacterial pellet resuspended in saline. Recipients underwent bladder irrigation pre-UMT. On UMT day,donor bacterial suspension was instilled via catheter with adverse event monitoring. Follow-up included clinic visits at 1 month and 1 year for symptom assessment,scale scoring,cystoscopy evaluating mucosal inflammation,hydrodistension checks,and telephone tracking of urinary symptoms every 2 - 3 months. Prognosis was assessed by symptom relief,scale score reduction,and mucosal recovery. Results:No adverse reactions occurred within 24 hours post-UMT in all 3 cases. Two patients showed same-day urinary urgency reduction;three reported relief from urinary frequency/urgency on postoperative day 7,with 2 - 3 hour daytime intervals and 0 - 5 nocturnal voids. Two patients experienced lower abdominal pain alleviation. Postoperative Week 1 urinalysis and urine cultures revealed no abnormalities. The 16S rRNA test showed a decrease in the abundance of harmful bacteria(e.g., Cupriavidus,Ureaplasm,Mycobacterium,Pseudomonas)and an increase in the abundance of beneficial bacteria( Dietzia,Halomonas,and Streptococcus),and the overall urobacterial structure was significantly improved and similar to that of the donor. Case 1 was followed up for 20 months,and the lab tests were normal,with SDS scales of 38,SAS of 20,ICSI of 3,ICPI of 2,brief urological problem scale of 44,genitourinary pain assessment scale of 10,PCS of 0,at 9 months post-op follow-up,indicating physical and mental improvement. The bladder hydro-distention revealed intact mucosa with only mild inflammation,which improved versus preoperative situation. Case 2 was followed up for 15 months,and the lab tests were normal,with SDS scales of 44,SAS of 34,ICSI of 4,ICPI of 2,brief scale of urinary problems of 0,genitourinary pain assessment scale of 9,PCS of 7,at 2 months post-op follow-up,showing improved anxiety/depression and quality of life. The hydro-distention showed decreased scattered hemorrhagic dots and mucosal inflammation. Case 3 was followed up for 13 months,with an increased leukocytes of urine and the other being normal for lab tests,and SDS scales of 35,SAS of 46,ICSI of 13,ICPI of 13,brief scale of urinary problems of 10,genitourinary pain assessment scale of 33,PCS of 11,at 13 months post-op follow-up,indicating physical and mental improvement. The hydro-distention revealed mucosal congestion,marked submucosal vasodilation,and inflammation decreased compared with preoperative situation. Conclusions:UMT alleviates urinary frequency,urgency,and pain in IC patients with sustained effects,significantly improves urine microecology,and shows no adverse events,positioning it as a viable intervention for IC.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of super-thin free anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap at the junction plane of superficial and deep fat of superficial fascia to repair the soft tissue defects of the foot.Methods:The clinical data of patients with foot soft tissue defects admitted to Northern Jiangsu People’s Hospital Affiliated to Yangzhou University from June 2017 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. During the operation, the super-thin free ALT flap on the affected side was harvested at the junction of superficial and deep fat of superficial fascia to repair the foot wound. The donor site wound was sutured directly or repaired with full-thickness skin graft. The flap survival and complications were observed after the operation, and the operation effect was evaluated from the following five aspects. (1) The Maryland foot function score was used to evaluate the recovery of foot function. The full score was 100 points, of which 90-100 points were excellent, 75-89 points were good, 50-74 points were fair, and < 50 points were poor. (2) The Vancouver scar scale (VSS) was used to evaluate the scar condition of the foot. The total score was 0-15 points. The higher the score, the more serious the scar. (3) The cold intolerance symptom severity (CISS) scale was used to evaluate the cold tolerance of the affected foot. The total score was 4-100 points. The higher the score, the more serious the symptoms. (4) Measuring static two-point discrimination to evaluate foot sensation, the smaller the measured value, the better the sensory recovery. (5) The satisfaction of patients with foot appearance was investigated, which was divided into five grades: very satisfied, satisfied, general, dissatisfied and very dissatisfied. Descriptive analysis of the data was performed using SPSS 26.0 software.Results:A total of 13 patients with foot soft tissue defects were enrolled, including 8 males and 5 females. The mean age was 54.7 years (range, 39-70 years). There were 10 cases of left foot and 3 cases of right foot. The wound area after thorough debridement ranged from 5.5 cm ×5.0 cm to 22.0 cm ×18.0 cm. The operation time was (145.1 ± 30.6) min. The area of the flap was 6.0 cm×5.5 cm to 23.5 cm×19.0 cm, and the thickness was (5.2 ± 1.1) mm (range, 3.0- 6.5 mm). The wound at the donor site was sutured directly in 9 cases, and coverd with the abdominal full-thickness skin graft in 4 cases. After the operation, 1 patient had partial epidermal necrosis at the distal end of the flap, 1 patient had venous crisis.The flaps survived after symptomatic treatment. The remaining 11 flaps survived smoothly. The patients were followed up for 12 to 20 months, with an average of 16 months. The foot flaps were soft and free of damage, and no secondary fat reduction or plastic surgery was required. There were no complications such as wound dehiscence, skin graft necrosis, muscle hernia, and quadriceps weakness in 13 cases of donor site except for hypoesthesia caused by scar hyperplasia in 4 cases with skin graft. At the last follow-up, the Maryland foot function score was (87.4±7.3) points, of which 7 cases were excellent, 4 cases were good, and 2 cases were fair. The excellent and good rate was 11/13. The foot scar was not obvious, the VSS score was (3.2±1.2) points. The foot was more tolerant to cold and the sensory recovery was better, the CISS score was (37.5±7.1) points and the static two-point discrimination was (13.9±1.0) mm. One month after the operation, the results of patients’ satisfaction with foot appearance were as follows: 11 cases were very satisfied and 2 cases were satisfied.Conclusion:The super-thin free ALT flap is obtained at the junction plane of superficial and deep fat of superficial fascia to repair the soft tissue defect of the foot, which can optimize the operation time. The appearance and function of the foot recover well after the operation, avoiding the secondary shaping operation, reducing the damage to the donor site, and the patients are satisfied.

Hand hemangioma combined with aneurysm is rare and its specific clinical diagnosis and treatment method are not yet clear. In February 2021, a 49-year-old female patient with a right small finger hemangioma and aneurysm was diagnosed and treated in the Department of Hand and Foot, Northern Jiangsu People’s Hospital. The patient was admitted to the hospital due to a tumor in the right little finger for 1 year. A low-echo mass with blood flow in the subcutaneous layer of the right little finger was detected on Doppler ultrasound and considered a hemangioma. Other laboratory tests and physical examinations showed no obvious abnormalities. The preoperative diagnosis was a right little finger mass (hemangioma). After completing the preoperative examination, we performed a resection of the hemangioma of the right little finger. Postoperative pathology showed that the mass located on the volar side of the right little finger was consistent with an aneurysm, and the one on the dorsal side of the right little finger was consistent with a venous aneurysm. After 2 years of follow-up, there was no recurrence of the lesion.

Objective:To introduce the therapeutic effect of forearm radial artery perforator propeller flap for repair of hand and wrist soft tissue defects.Methods:The clinical data of patients with soft tissue defects of hand and wrist who received the treatment with forearm radial artery perforator propeller flap in Northern Jiangsu People’s Hospital from January 2018 to September 2020 were collected. The radial artery of the forearm was projected on the skin surface as the axis, and the nearest perforator was selected as the rotation point according to the location of the soft tissue defect. The radial artery perforator propeller flap was designed based on the location, area and shape of soft tissue defect. The length of the large paddle of the flap is equal to the distance between the proximal side of the wound edge and the rotation point plus the length of the wound, and the length of the small paddle of the flap is equal to the distance between the proximal side of the wound edge and the rotation point. The donor site was closed directly or with full-thickness skin graft from the ipsilateral upper arm. The survival, appearance of the flap and skin graft, hand and wrist function and patients satisfactory rate were observed and recorded.Results:A total of 6 patients were included, including 4 males and 2 females; the mean age was 40.5 years (range, 25-65 years ). There were 1 case on the palm side of the hand, 1 case on the dorsal side of the hand, 3 cases on the volar side of the wrist, and 1 case on the dorsal side of the wrist. The area of soft tissue defect after debridement was 2 cm × 3 cm-7 cm × 10 cm. The forearm radial artery perforator propeller flap ranged from 3 cm × 4 cm to 8 cm × 11 cm. The donor site was closed directly in 3 cases, and with full-thickness skin graft in 3 cases. The flaps in all 6 patients survived completely with primary healing. The skin grafts for the donor site in 3 cases survived completely. The patients were followed up for 3 months to 1 year, with an average of 5 months. The function of the hand and wrist recovered well. The texture of the flap was similar to that of the surrounding tissue with good appearance, no swelling or slight swelling, no obvious color difference. The donor site healed well without scar hyperplasia. The patients were satisfied with the surgical results.Conclusion:Propeller flap pedicled with forearm radial artery perforator is a simple and effective method to repair soft tissue defects of wrist and hand with reliable recovery of appearance and function. The patients’ satisfactory rate is also high.

Objective:To investigate the bacterial composition and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical isolates from bloodstream infections in China.Methods:The clinical bacterial strains isolated from blood culture were collected during January 2020 to December 2020 in member hospitals of Blood Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System (BRICS). Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI, USA). WHONET 5.6 was used to analyze data.Results:During the study period, 10 043 bacterial strains were collected from 54 hospitals, of which 2 664 (26.5%) were Gram-positive bacteria and 7 379 (73.5%) were Gram-negative bacteria. The top 10 bacterial species were Escherichia coli (38.6%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.4%), Staphylococcus aureus (9.9%), coagulase-negative Staphylococci (7.5%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.9%), Enterococcus faecium (3.3%), Enterobacter cloacae (2.8%), Enterococcus faecalis (2.6%), Acinetobacter baumannii (2.4%) and Klebsiella spp (1.8%). The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus aureus were 27.6% and 74.4%, respectively. No glycopeptide- and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci were detected. More than 95% of Staphylococcus aureus were sensitive to rifampicin and SMZco. No vancomycin-resistant Enterococci strains were detected. Extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis were 48.4%, 23.6% and 36.1%, respectively. The prevalence rates of carbapenem-resistance in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 2.3% and 16.1%, respectively; 9.6% of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains were resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam combination. The prevalence rate of carbapenem-resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii was 60.0%, while polymyxin and tigecycline showed good activity against Acinetobacter baumannii. The prevalence rate of carbapenem-resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 23.2%. Conclusions:The surveillance results in 2020 showed that the main pathogens of bloodstream infection in China were gram-negative bacteria, while Escherichia coli was the most common pathogen, and ESBL-producing strains declined while carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae kept on high level. The proportion and the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa were on the rise slowly. On the other side, the MRSA incidence got lower in China, while the overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci was low.
