Objective:To study the clinical and microbiological characteristics of invasive Salmonella infection in children. Methods:Clinical data of children with invasive Salmonella infection diagnosed in the Children′s Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine and Women and Children′s Hospital of Ningbo University from January 2018 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and the serotypes and drug resistance of the pathogens were detected. The chi-square test was used to compare the resistance rates of different Salmonella serogroups to antibiotics. Results:A total of 105 invasive Salmonella infection cases were included, with ages of 20.0 (12.3, 43.5) months, and 67 cases(63.8%)were male. Fifty-seven cases occurred in summer (from June to August). Eighty-seven cases were confirmed by blood culture, 10 cases by bone marrow or bone marrow cavity pus culture, six cases by cerebrospinal fluid and other specimen culture, with an additional two cases where Salmonella was cultured from two types of specimens including blood, bone marrow or cerebrospinal fluid. Thirty-six patients had underlying diseases, of which 58.3%(21/36) were leukemia. The resistance rates of the strains to ampicillin, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, piperacillin-tazobactam, imipenem, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole were 48.5%(51/105), 12.3%(13/105), 9.5%(10/105), 1.9%(2/105), 0(0/105), and 29.5%(31/105), respectively. Ninety-nine strains (94.3%) belonged to invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella (iNTS), four strains were Salmonella typhi, and 13 strains were Salmonella typhimurium. The resistance rate of group D strains to ceftriaxone was lower than that of group B ( χ2=5.38, P=0.020) and group E ( χ2=5.74, P=0.017). The resistance rate of group D strains to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was lower than that of group C ( χ2=5.67, P=0.017), group B ( χ2=13.02, P<0.001) and group E ( χ2=9.00, P=0.003), and the differences were all statistically significant. The symptoms of fever and diarrhea accounted for 94.3%(99/105) and 51.4%(54/105), respectively. The most common diagnosis was septicemia, accounting for 88.6%(93/105), pyogenic osteomyelitis with pyogenic arthritis accounted for 10.5%(11/105), and four patients (3.8%) developed purulent meningitis. All 105 patients received antibiotic treatment, 101 patients (96.2%) were cured or improved, and four cases (3.8%) died. Conclusions:iNTS infection is more common than typhoid fever in children. Different serotypes of strains have different resistance to antimicrobial drugs. Invasive strains such as bloodstream are more sensitive to the third-generation cephalosporin. The third-generation cephalosporin is still the first choice for the treatment of iNTS diseases.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) combined with radical surgery for elderly patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC).Methods:One hundred and fourty eight patients with LAGC after NACT and gastrectomy between 2012 and 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. They were divided into two groups: (1) <65 years old (111 cases) and (2) ≥65 years old (37 cases) and their clinicopathological and prognostic data were compared.Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups in the incidence of hematological complications such as anemia ( χ2=0.235, P=0.628), leukopenia ( χ2=0.613, P=0.434), neutropenia ( χ2=0.011, P=0.918) and thrombocytopenia ( χ2=0.253, P=0.615) and non-hematological complications such as nausea ( χ2=0.092, P=0.762), vomiting ( χ2=0.166, P=0.683), diarrhea ( χ2=0.015, P=0.902) and mucositis ( χ2=0.199, P=0.766) due to NACT. There were no statistical differences between the older patients and the younger in operation duration ( t=0.270, P=0.604), intraoperative bleeding ( t=1.140, P=0.250) and R 0 resection rate ( χ2=0.105, P=0.750). The incidence of postoperative complications was 25.2% and 37.8% in the younger patients and the olders ( χ2=2.172, P=0.141). Pleural effusion ( χ2=7.007, P=0.008) and pulmonary infection ( χ2=10.204, P=0.001) was significantly higher in the older patients than in the youngers. The 3-year progression-free survival rate ( t=0.494, P=0.482) and 3-year overall survival rate ( t=0.013, P=0.908) were comparable between the two groups. Conclusions:NACT combined with radical surgery is safe and effective in elderly patients with LAGC, except for higher perioperative pulmonary-related complications.
