Objective To explore and analyze the characteristics and transmission routes of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)strains in intensive care unit(ICU).Methods From January to October 2023,17 clinical infection isolates(clinical infection group),5 active screening isolates(active screening group),and 7 envi-ronmental isolates(environmental group)of CRKP in the liver surgery ICU of a hospital were selected and analyzed by whole-genome sequencing.The differences in resistance genes,virulence genes,and sequence typing(ST)were compared,and transmission routes were analyzed based on the phylogenetic tree.Results 29 strains of CRKP car-ried 4-18 resistance genes and 52-98 virulence genes,respectively.There were no statistically significant diffe-rences in genotype distribution of resistance genes,the number of virulence genes,and gene types among three groups of CRKP(all P＞0.05).ST showed that 29 CRKP strains mainly consisted of two categories:ST11 and ST15.Based on the phylogenetic tree constructed from the core genome,there were 7 highly homologous groups of CRKP,among which 4 groups had clear epidemiological associations.Conclusion CRKP in ICU carries more re-sistance and virulence genes,and some strains are highly homologous in ST and phylogenetic tree,which may lead to cross transmission.In the future,prevention and control measures should be strengthened to reduce the trans-mission of CRKP.

Objective To explore the anesthesia management experience in the interventional treatment of pediatric congenital heart diseases (CHD) percutaneously guided by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) on a mobile operating platform. Methods From March to July 2023, a total of 13 patients from remote areas underwent interventional treatment for CHD on the mobile operating platform of Fuwai Yunnan Cardiovascular Hospital. Patients who received non-tracheal intubation general anesthesia were retrospectively included. Results Eight children who had difficulty cooperating with the surgery (due to young age, emotional tension, crying) received monitored anesthesia care with local anesthesia supplemented by sedative and analgesic drugs while maintaining spontaneous breathing under the monitoring and management of an anesthesiologist (i.e., non-tracheal intubation general anesthesia). Among them, there were 5 males and 3 females, with an age of (6.95±3.29) years and a body weight of (19.50±6.04) kg. Through transthoracic echocardiography, they were diagnosed with atrial septal defect (6 patients), residual shunt after patent ductus arteriosus ligation (1 patient), and severe pulmonary valve stenosis (1 patient). The surgery proceeded smoothly, with satisfactory anesthesia and surgical effects, complete analgesia, and satisfactory postoperative recovery. There was 1 patient of body movement and 1 patient of respiratory depression during the operation, and both patients completed the surgery successfully after treatment. All children had no serious surgery- and anesthesia-related complications. The anesthesia time was 40.5 (34.5, 47.5) min, the surgery time was 39.0 (33.0, 45.5) min, and the recovery time was 43.0 (28.0, 52.5) min Conclusion Interventional surgery for CHD guided by TTE at a mobile platform is a minimally invasive approach without radiation damage. Non-tracheal intubation general anesthesia with spontaneous breathing can be safely and effectively implemented in children who cannot cooperate.

Viruses constitute a significant group of pathogens that have caused numerous fatalities and substantial economic losses in recent years, particularly with the emergence of coronaviruses. While the impact of SARS-CoV-2 appears to be diminishing in daily life, only a limited number of drugs have received approval or emergency use authorization for its treatment. Given the high mutation rate of viral genomes, host-directed agents (HDAs) have emerged as a preferred choice due to their broad applicability and lasting effectiveness. In contrast to direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), HDAs offer several advantages, including broad-spectrum antiviral activities, potential efficacy against future emerging viruses, and a lower likelihood of inducing drug resistance. In our review article, we have synthesized known host-directed antiviral targets that span diverse cellular pathways and mechanisms, shedding light on the intricate interplay between host cells and viruses. Additionally, we have provided a brief overview of the development of HDAs based on these targets. We aim for this comprehensive analysis to offer valuable perspectives and insights that can guide future antiviral research and drug development efforts.

Objective:To preliminarily assess the biocompatibility and durability of the TruDelta TM transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) system. Method:Six adult sheep were divided into 3 groups based on the duration of follow-up: 30 days ( n=1), 90 days ( n=3) and 180 days ( n=2). The TruDelta TM TMVR system was implanted through a transapical approach under transesophageal echocardiographic guidance. The operability of the TMVR system was evaluated using an instrument performance evaluation scale (consisting of 39 items), with scores ranging from 1 (worst) to 10 (best) assigned by the operator. Echocardiography was conducted preoperatively, immediately after surgery, and at 30, 90, and 180 days post-implantation. At the last follow-up time point, the intervention mitral valve membrane and major organs were dissected for observation. The artificial valves were taken for hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining and observed under a scanning electron microscope. Result:All six procedures were successfully completed using 29S size TruDelta TM TMVR device. At the final follow-up, echocardiogram demonstrated good valve function without obvious paravalvular leakage, with a transvalvular gradient of (7.8±3.2) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and a mitral valve orifice area of (1.8±0.2) cm 2. Autopsy findings revealed no structural valve failure and almost complete endothelialization (>75%) with 90 to 180 days. Both HE staining and scanning electron microscopy confirmed optimal endothelialization of the valve stent. Conclusion:The preclinical animal study indicates that the TruDelta TM device exhibits favorable biocompatibility and durability.

Seven novel linear polyketides,talaketides A-G(1-7),were isolated from the rice media cultures of the mangrove sed-iment-derived fungus Talaromyces sp.SCSIO 41027.Among these,talaketides A-E(1-5)represented unprecedented unsaturated lin-ear polyketides with an epoxy ring structure.The structures,including absolute configurations of these compounds,were elucidated through detailed analyses of nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)and high-resolution mass spectrometry(HR-MS)data,as well as elec-tronic custom distributors(ECD)calculations.In the cytotoxicity screening against prostate cancer cell lines,talaketide E(5)demon-strated a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on prostate cancer PC-3 cell lines,with an IC50 value of 14.44 μmol·L-1.Moreover,com-pound 5 significantly inhibited the cloning formation of PC-3 cell lines and arrested the cell cycle in S-phase,ultimately inducing ap-optosis.These findings indicate that compound 5 may serve as a promising lead compound for the development of a potential treat-ment for prostate cancer.

Objective To investigate the self-healing status of children with abnormal tongue root sounds at different age stages of 4 to 12 years old who have not received articulation training,and to provide correct guidance plans for patients.Methods Through retrospective analysis,114 cases of children diagnosed with functional dysar-thria and abnormal root of tongue in Kunming children's hospital from 2019 to 2020 who refused to do rehabilitation training but could receive long-term outpatient follow-up visit,were selected.The follow-up visit was conducted one year later to reevaluate the root of tongue of the children,and the relationship between the self-healing situation of the children's root of tongue and age and wrong form was statistically analyzed.Results Among the 114 children with abnormal root sound,35 cases(30.70％)healed by themselves.The self-healing rates of each age group were as follows:4～5 years old(45.24％),5～6 years old(27.08％),6～7 years old(14.29％),7～12 years old(10.00％).The self-healing rate of all age groups was significant(x2=8.254,P=0.041).There were 287 fre-quency of errors in 114 cases,among which the self-healing rate of consonant loss was the highest(41.46％),fol-lowed by consonant substitution(40.76％),and consonant distortion was the worst(16.67％).The overall differ-ence of the three error forms was statistically significant(x2=10.003,P=0.007).According to different root sounds,the self-healing rate of/h/sound was the highest(31/60.78％),followed by/k/sound(40,32.26％),and/g/sound was the worst(35,31.25％).There was significant difference among the three root sounds(x2=15.172,P＜0.001).There was no significant difference in the self-healing rate between male and female children(x2=1.311,P=0.252).Conclusion The rate of root sound healing in children with functional articulation disor-der was related to age,wrong form and wrong root sound,but not gender.

Objective: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of varicella outbreaks in primary and middle schools, and to establish a risk predictive model, so as to provide scientific guidance for the prevention of varicella outbreaks in schools. Methods: Based on a nested case-control study, primary and middle schools in 4 districts of Shanghai (Yangpu District and Jingan District) and Hangzhou (Xiaoshan District and Linping District) from January to December 2023 were selected to observe the status of varicella outbreaks. Associated factors of varicella outbreaks were investigated and used for establishing the predictive model, which was evaluated by the Hosmer-Lemeshow(H-L) goodness of fit test, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, Calibration curve, decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: A total of 98 varicella outbreaks were included, with 195 schools without varicella outbreaks during the same period as controls. Eight factors, including the availability of warm water in restroom, availability of hand soap in restroom, average class size, duration of student attendance at school per day, presence of a fulltime school doctor, hesitancy of the school principal towards varicella vaccination, and rates of first and second doses of varicella vaccination, were identified as potential factors for school varicella outbreaks, with statistically significant differences (χ2/Z=10.01, 20.49, 17.43, 9.74, 32.17, 6.60, 2.20, 3.39, P<0.05). The 8 variables above were employed to construct a risk predictive model, and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test yielded a χ2 value of 5.863 (P>0.05); the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.846 (95%CI=0.799-0.893); Calibration curve analysis indicated good consistency between predicted and actual values of the model. DCA demonstrated favorable predictive performance of the model over a wide range. Conclusions The predictive model for school varicella outbreaks demonstrates satisfactory accuracy and efficacy. It suggested to make good use of this prediction model and take relevant measures to reduce the risk of varicella transmission in schools.
