AIM:To analyze the effect of conbercept treatment on different types of macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion(RVO-ME)using optical coherence tomography(OCT)images.METHODS: This retrospective study included patients who first received conbercept injections for RVO-ME at Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College from December 1, 2017, to March 31, 2022. Data on disease duration, age, hypertension, OCT images, central macular thickness(CMT), and best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA)were collected before and at 4-6 wk after treatment. Patients were divided into 4 groups according to different types of macular edema: cystoid macular edema(CME), sponge-like diffuse retinal thickening(SDRT), serous retinal detachment(SRD), and mixed type(FULL). Changes in CMT and visual acuity before and after treatment were compared among the groups to analyze differences in the effect of conbercept treatment on different ME types, and the effect of baseline CMT and visual acuity on post-treatment visual acuity.RESULTS: Totally 139 patients(139 eyes)were classified as having macular edema, including 62 males(44.6%)and 77 females(55.4%), with a mean age of 58.9±10.9 years, and they were divided into 4 groups based on different types of macular edema, including 54 cases(54 eyes)(mean age 59.6±11.1 years)in the CME group, 23 cases(23 eyes; mean age 56.6±10.2 years)in the SDRT group, 22 cases(22 eyes; mean age 57.8±12.0 years)in the SDR group, and 40 cases(40 eyes; mean age 60.0±10.7 years)in the FULL group. There were no significant differences in the duration of disease or age between groups(P>0.05). There was a significant difference in preoperative CMT between groups(P=0.01, one-way ANOVA), with the CMT in the FULL group being significantly greater than that in the SDRT group(P=0.03). There were no significant differences in pre-treatment visual acuity between the four groups(P=0.26). After conbercept treatment, the macular central recess thickness was reduced and visual acuity was improved in all four groups, among which the CMT in the CME and FULL groups was reduced significantly compared with the other two groups(P<0.05), and the visual acuity in the CME and SRD groups was improved significantly compared with the other two groups(P<0.05). Postoperative visual acuity was negatively correlated with preoperative CMT(P=0.044)and positively correlated with preoperative visual acuity(P<0.01).CONCLUSION:The efficacy of intravitreal conbercept in the treatment of RVO and macular edema may be related to the type of edema observed on OCT images, in which the efficacy is best in patients with CME but poor in patients with SDRT.

Objective: To explore the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on health risk behaviors (HRBs) among college students and the mediating role of psychological symptoms, so as to provide a basis for developing intervention strategies. Methods: From March to April 2023, a convenience cluster sample of 1 801 students from 12 universities in Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin, Wuzhou of Guangxi completed an online survey. A self designed questionnaire, Adverse Childhood Experiences-International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ) and Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) were used for evaluation tools. Binary Logistic regression, structural equation modeling (SEM) and Bootstrap methods were used to analyze the associations and mediating effects. Results: Overall, 71.2% of college students experienced at least one type of ACE, with emotional neglect (40.3%) and emotional abuse ( 25.2 %) having the highest detection rates. The top three HRBs were unhealthy diet (77.8%), physical inactivity (54.1%), and smoking/alcohol use (18.5%). Logistic regression showed that poor family functioning, abuse, and extra familial violence were each associated with an increased risk of smoking/alcohol use ( OR =1.14, 1.11, 1.18) and deliberate self harm ( OR =1.26, 1.19,1.30) (all P <0.05). Experience of abuse increased the risk of high risk sexual behavior and family dysfunction increaded the risk of physical inactivity, respectively ( OR = 1.07 , 1.04, both P <0.05). Mediation analysis revealed that anxiety ( β =0.20) and depression ( β = 0.09 ) partially mediated the pathway from poor family functioning to deliberate self harm; paranoia ( β =0.02) partially mediated the pathway from abuse to high risk sexual behavior; and obsessive-compulsive symptoms ( β =0.26) and depression ( β =0.10) partially mediated the pathway from extra familial violence to deliberate self harm (all P <0.05). Conclusion Psychological symptoms play a mediating role in the association between ACEs and HRBs, and mental health interventions may reduce the risk of HRBs among college students.

Objective:To analyze the factors affecting quality of life in patients with early esophageal cancer after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) .Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 162 early esophageal cancer patients with ESD in Cangzhou Central Hospital from August 2021 to July 2023 who had an on-time follow-up six months as study subjects. General Information Questionnaire and Quality of Life Instruments for Cancer Patients-Esophageal Cancer (QLICP-ES) were used to investigate the patients. Factors affecting the quality of life of patients after ESD for early esophageal cancer were analyzed using univariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.Results:Univariate analysis showed statistically significant differences in QLICP-ES scores among patients with different gender, age, marital status, annual income, medical payment method, concomitant diseases, degree of infiltration, vascular invasion, surgical complications, and positive margins ( P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, marital status, concomitant diseases, vascular invasion, surgical complications, and positive margins were the factors influencing the QLICP-ES scores of patients with ESD for early esophageal cancer, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Quality of life at six months after ESD in patients with early esophageal cancer is at an intermediate to high level. Patients of advanced age, unmarried/divorced/widowed, concomitant diseases, vascular invasion, surgical complications and positive margins have low QLICP-ES scores after ESD for early esophageal cancer. It is recommended that clinical attention be focused on these factors and that targeted nursing measures be taken when necessary.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common respiratory pathogen in infants and young children, which can lead to severe pneumonia and even death. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for reducing complications and sequelae and improving prognosis. This study presents the complete diagonsis and treatment process of a typical severe RSV pneumonia patient. For high-risk children, the condition can progress rapidly after RSV infection, and may present with respiratory failure and multiple extrapulmonary complications, such as heart failure, liver and kidney function impairment, coagulation dysfunction. After active symptomatic and supportive treatment, the prognosis is generally good. RSV infection will not lead to long-lasting immunity, but as the child grows older and their immune function gradually improves, the condition of a secondary infection is generally relatively mild. Currently, there are no specific antiviral drugs or safe and effective vaccines for RSV. Long-acting monoclonal antibodies are one of the effective means to prevent RSV infection in infants and young children and have been approved for use in China.

Objective To explore the influence of general medicine combined with family motivation management on the prognosis of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease patients.Methods A total of 120 cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases patients who received medical care at the First People's Hospital ofFuyang District from October 2023 to October 2024 were selected as subjects.They were divided into control group(n=60)and study group(n=60)by using a random number table method.Control group received standard nursing interventions,while study group underwent combined general medicine and family motivation management.Psychological status was assessed using the self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)and self-rating depression scale(SDS),with quality of life and self-management ability evaluated using the World Health Organization quality of life brief scale(WHOQOL-BREF)and exercise of self-care agency scale(ESCA).The triglycerides(TG),total cholesterol(TC),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)and low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),readmission rate and average length of stay before and after intervention were compared between two groups.Results After intervention,both groups showed decreased SAS and SDS scores,while WHOQOL-BREF scores and ESCA levels increased.Score of study group were statistically significant better than that of control group(P＜0.05).After intervention,HDL-C levels rose in both groups,whereas LDL-C,TG,and TC levels decreased.The improvement of each index in study group was better than that in control group(P＜0.05).The rehospitalization rate and average length of stay in study group were significantly lower than those in control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combination of general medicine and family motivation management can effectively optimize the prognosis of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease patients.

Objective:To report the nationwide surveillance results of pathogenic profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Gram-positive bloodstream infections in China in 2023.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-posttive bacteria from blood cultures were collected in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）during January to December 2023. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the dilution method recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. Statistical analyses were conducted using WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software.Results:A total of 4 385 Gram-positive bacterial isolates were obtained from 60 participating center. The top five pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus（ n=1 544，35.2%），coagulase-negative Staphylococci（ n=1 441，32.9%）， Enterococcus faecium（ n=574，13.1%）， Enterococcus faecalis（ n=385，8.8%），and α-hemolytic Streptococci（ n=187，4.3%）. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus（MRSA）and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci（MRCNS）was 26.2%（405/1 544）and 69.8%（1 006/1 441），respectively. Notably，all Staphylococci remained susceptible to glycopeptide or daptomycin. Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated excellent susceptibility（>97.0%）to cephalobiol，rifampicin，trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole，linezolid，minocycline，tigecycline，and eravacycline. No Enterococcus exhibiting resistance to linezolid were detected. Glycopeptide resistance was uncommon but more frequent in Enterococcus faecium（resistance to vancomycin and teicoplanin：both 1.7%）compared to Enterococcus faecalis（both 0.3%）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS exhibited significant regional variations across the country（ χ2=17.674 and 148.650，respectively，both P<0.001）. No vancomycin-resistant Enterococci were detected in central China. Institutional comparison demonstrated higher prevalence of MRSA（ χ2=14.111， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.828， P=0.028）in provincial hospitals than that in municipal hospitals. Socioeconomic analysis identified elevated detection rates of both MRSA（ χ2=18.986， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.477， P=0.034）in less developed regions（per capita GDP

Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period，11 492 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 60 hospitals，of which 10 098（87.9%）were Enterobacterales and 1 394（12.1%）were non-fermentative bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli（50.0%）， Klebsiella pneumoniae（26.1%）， Pseudomonas aeruginosa（5.1%）， Acinetobacter baumannii complex（5.0%）and Enterobacter cloacae complex（4.1%）. The ESBL-producing rates in Escherichia coli， Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirablilis were 46.8%（2 685/5 741），18.3%（549/2 999）and 44.0%（77/175），respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli（CREC）and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae（CRKP）were 1.3%（76/5 741）and 15.0%（450/2 999）；32.9%（25/76）and 78.0%（351/450）of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to ceftazidime/avibactam combination，respectively. 94.7%（72/76）and 90.2%（406/450）of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to aztreonam/avibactam combination. Furthermore，57.9%（44/76）and 79.1%（356/450）were sensitive to imipenem/relebactam combination. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii（CRAB）complex was 64.6%（370/573），while more than 80.0% of CRAB complex was sensitive to tigecycline，eravacycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa（CRPA）was 17.0%（99/581）. There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of important Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions in China，with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CREC，CRKP，CRPA and CRAB complex（ χ2=10.6，28.6，10.8 and 19.3， P<0.05）. The prevalence of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli， CREC，CRAB complex and CRKP were higher in provincial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=12.5，9.8，12.7 and 57.8，all P<0.01）. Conclusions:Gram-negative bacteria are the main pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China，and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top，while the trend of Klebsiella pneumoniae increases continuously with time. CRKP infection shows a slow upward trend，CREC infecton maintains a low prevalence level，and CRAB complex infection continues to exhibit a high prevalence rate. The composition and resistance patterns of pathogens causing bloodstream infections vary to some extent across different regions and levels of hospitals in China.

AIM:To study the effect of Sanhuang Gel on the expression of TLRs/NLRP3 signal path-way in auricle acne model rats,and to explore its mechanism in treating acne inflammatory injury.METHODS:A rat model of auricular acne was in-duced by applying 100％oleic acid to the opening of the right ear catheter and injecting Propionibac-terium acnes.Rats were divided into normal group,model group,positive control group(clindamycin hydrochloride gel 10 mg/g)and Sanhuang Gel high,medium and low dose groups(280,140 and 70 mg/g).Each drug group was given drug intervention for 28 days.The changes of auricle skin lesions in each group were observed;Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was used to observe the pathological changes of auricle acne.The ultrastructural chang-es of auricle tissue cells were observed by transmis-sion electron microscope(TEM).The distribution and expression changes of TLR2 and TLR4 in rat au-ricle tissue were detected by immunofluorescence.The expressions of TLR2,TLR4,NLRP3,ASC and Cas-pase-1 mRNA in rat auricle were detected by Real-time PCR.The expressions of TLR2,TLR4,NLRP3,ASC and Caspase-1 in rat auricle were detected by Western blot.RESULTS:Compared with the normal group,papules,pustules,inflammatory cell infiltra-tion and obvious edema of mitochondria can be seen in the auricle tissue of the model group.The mRNA and protein expression levels of TLR2,TLR4,NLRP3,ASC andCaspase-1 increased significantly(P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,the ap-pearance and pathological damage of auricle in each treatment group were obviously alleviated,and the morphology and structure of mitochondria returned to normal.The mRNA expression levels of TLR2,TLR4,NLRP3,ASC and Caspase-1 decreased significantly(P＜0.01).The expression levels of TLR2,TLR4,NLRP3,ASC and Caspase-1 in positive control group and high and middle dose groups de-creased(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).The expression levels of ASC and Caspase-1 protein in low dose group were significantly decreased(P＜0.01),but there was no significant difference in the expression levels of TLR2,TLR4 and NLRP3 protein(P＞0.05).CONCLU-SION:Sanhuang Gel can improve the pathological damage of auricle tissue and reduce immune in-flammatory reaction in acne rats,and its mecha-nism may be related to regulating TLRs/NLRP3 sig-naling pathway.

Objective To investigate the CT and MRI features of giant cell reparative granuloma(GCRG)in lateral skull base.Methods The CT,MRI and clinicopathological data of 8 patients with GCRG in lateral skull base were collected and analyzed.Results All of the eight lesions were unilateral and solitary(three on the left side and five on the right side),with widespread involvement affecting two or more bony structures of the lateral skull base.All lesions showed expansile and lytic bone destruction on CT scans,the margins were clear(7/8),and the sclerotic changes could be seen at the margin of all eight lesions.On MRI,the lesions revealed heterogeneous isointense and hypointense on T1WI,and heterogeneous hypointense with focal cystic changes on T2WI,without fluid-fluid levels.The enhanced scan showed heterogeneous enhancement.Seven cases extended to the middle cranial fossa,caused com-pression of the temporal lobe brain tissue,with thickened and strengthened adjacent meninges.Conclusion The GCRG in lateral skull base has certain characteristic appearances on CT and MRI;understanding these characteristic manifestations can provide a basis for accurate diagnosis.

BACKGROUND:Previously,a SENP1 gene-silenced human alveolar epithelial cell line was successfully constructed in vitro,and the role of SENP1 in hyperoxic lung injury was investigated at the cellular level.OBJECTIVE:To construct a mouse model of alveolar type II epithelial cell-specific knockout of SENP1 gene based on the Cre-loxP recombinase system.METHODS:SENP1flox/-mice were self-crossed to obtain SENP1flox/flox and SENP1flox/-mice;Sftpc-Cre+/+mice were crossed with wild-type mice to obtain more Sftpc-Cre+/-mice.Sftpc-Cre+/+or offspring Sftpc-Cre+/-mice were crossed with SENP1flox/-or offspring SENP1flox/flox mice to obtain SENP1flox/-Sftpc-Cre+/-double heterozygous mice.SENP1flox/-Sftpc-Cre+/-mice were then crossed with SENP1flox/flox mice to obtain SENP1flox/floxSftpc-Cre+/-mice.The genomic DNA was extracted by tail clipping and amplified by PCR.The amplified product was subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis to determine the mouse genotypes.Lung tissues of SENP1flox/flox and SENP1flox/floxSftpc-Cre+/-mice were subjected to immunofluorescence double-labelling and western blot assay to verify the knockdown effect of SENP1 gene.Heart,liver,lung and kidney tissues of SENP1flox/flox and SENP1flox/floxSftpc-Cre+/-mice were stained with hematoxylin-eosin to observe the histomorphology of each organ in the two groups of mice.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:SENP1flox/floxSftpc-Cre+/-mice were correctly screened by agarose gel electrophoresis.Immunofluorescence double-labeling experiments showed that the mean fluorescence intensity of SENP1 was reduced in lung tissues of SENP1flox/floxSftpc-Cre+/-mice compared with that of SENP1flox/flox mice(P<0.01)and no significant co-localization of SENP1 and Sftpc was observed(P<0.01).Western blot results showed that SENP1 protein expression was reduced in lung tissues of SENP1flox/floxSftpc-Cre+/-mice compared with SENP1flox/flox mice(P<0.001).Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed no significant alterations in the histomorphology of heart,liver,lung and kidney tissues in SENP1flox/flox and SENP1flox/floxSftpc-Cre+/-mice.This study successfully constructed alveolar type II epithelial cell-specific knockout SENP1 gene mice using the Cre-loxP recombinase system,which provides a good tool for the subsequent study of the role of SENP1 gene in lung diseases such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis,in which alveolar type II epithelial cells are the main damage cells.
