Objective To understand the current situation of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in China,pro-vide data support and decision-making basis for formulating scientific and effective strategies for HAI prevention and control.Methods A nationwide cross-sectional survey on HAI was conducted among various types and levels of medical institutions in China according to a unified protocol of bedside surveys and case investigations.Results In 2024,a total of 5 736 medical institutions and 2 751 765 patients were surveyed.Among them,34 889 HAI cases were identified,with a prevalence rate of 1.27％.The number of HAI episodes was 38 032,and case prevalence rate was 1.38％.The prevalence rate of HAI in medical institutions in different regions of China ranged from 0.66％to 2.35％.Among medical institutions of different scales,those with a bed capacity of ≥900 had the high-est incidence of HAI,reaching 1.65％.The most common infection site was the lower respiratory tract(44.66％),followed by the urinary tract(12.94％),surgical site(9.32％),upper respiratory tract(7.02％),and bloodstream infection(5.78％).The top 3 departments with the highest HAI rates were the general intensive care unit(10.02％),department of neurosurgery(5.51％),and department(group)of hematology(5.34％).A total of 23 238 strains of HAI pathogens were detected,with 10 714 strains(46.10％)from lower respiratory tract speci-mens.The top 5 detected strains were Klebsiella pneumoniae(14.76％),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(13.33％),Escherichia coli(12.79％),Acinetobacter baumannii(9.23％),and Staphylococcus aureus(7.88％).231 944 pa-tients underwent class Ⅰ incision surgery were monitored,with 1 647 cases experienced surgical site infection,and the prevalence rate of surgical site infection was 0.71％.The number of patients who should undergo pathogen de-tection(patients receiving therapeutic and therapeutic combined prophylactic antimicrobial agents)was 715 179,while the actual number was 480 492,with a pathogen detection rate of 67.18％.425 225 patients received patho-genic detection before treatment,with a detection rate of 59.46％.Conclusion The overall HAI prevalence in Chi-na is lower,showing disparities among medical institutions of different regions and scales.Therefore,precise imple-mentation of measures is necessary for HAI prevention and control,with a focus on high-risk institutions and high-risk departments,key areas,and critical procedures.All levels of medical institutions should continuously reduce the incidence of HAI by strengthening monitoring,standardizing the use of antimicrobial agents,and reinforcing basic HAI prevention and control measures.

OBJECTIVE Hospital-acquired infections have emerged as an increasingly prominent and hard-to-com-pletely-avoid problem,with their complexity and challenges continuing to intensify.As a major public health con-cern,these hospital-acquired infections pose a serious threat to the safety of individuals within hospitals.Among the various routes of transmission,airborne transmission is one of the most important pathways leading to hospi-tal-acquired infections.A variety pathogenic viruses can attach to infectious respiratory particles produced by hu-man body and spread through these particles.Patients in hospitals,as the primary group releasing respiratory in-fectious particles,have behaviors(such as breathing,coughing,talking,etc.)that are closely related to the trans-mission,dissemination and spread of pathogenic microorganisms.It is generally believed that pathogens re-leased into the air by patients will propagate and spread with air currents,thereby elevating the risk of infection.In order to comprehensively safeguard the safety of healthcare workers and patients,and effectively curb the occur-rence of hospital-acquired infections,it is essential to investigate the impact of pathogen-releasing behaviors on the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms.This paper aims to review the research progress on the impact of pathogen-releasing behaviors of patients on the transmission of respiratory pathogenic microorganisms within healthcare buildings,as well as to provide an outlook for further research directions.

Objective:To investigate the disparities in breast cancer burden and changing epidemiological trends between China and the United States(US)from 1990 to 2021 and identify the key driving factors.Methods:The Global Burden of Disease database(1990-2021)was utilized to analyze breast cancer incidence,mortality,and disability adjusted life years(DALYs)in China and the US;we also assessed the as-sociations with risk factors(e.g.,obesity and smoking)through regression models and spatiotemporal analysis.Results:China's breast can-cer age-standardized incidence rate(ASIR)surged from 9.08/100,000 in 1990 to 19.36/100,000 in 2021,whereas the US ASIR declined from 44.37/100,000 to 37.49/100,000.Regarding the age-standardized mortality rate(ASMR),China saw a marginal reduction from 4.70/100,000 to 4.40/100,000,whereas the US experienced a significant decline from 13.03/100,000 to 9.28/100,000,narrowing the mortality gap from 2.8-fold to 2.1-fold.Key risk factors contributing to mortality and DALYs included smoking,exposure to secondhand smoke,low physical activity,high red meat and alcohol intake,elevated fasting blood glucose levels,and high body mass index.The rising cancer incidence in China is associated with the westernization of lifestyles and changes in fertility patterns,whereas the United States has achieved a dual de-cline in both incidence and mortality rates through widespread screening and control of hormone replacement therapy.Conclusions:Both the incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer in China rank among the highest globally,with incidence rates still increasing,indicating severe issues in prevention and control.In contrast,although the incidence rate in the US is higher than that in China,it shows a declining trend.To alleviate the growing burden of breast cancer,China must further enhance the intensity and coverage of breast cancer screening.

Objective To explore the effective substances that specifically bind to RSV-F protein in the water extract of Forsythia suspensa,and verify its effect.Methods Surface plasmon resonance(SPR)affinity fishing technology was used to enrich,regenerate and recover the active components that specifically bind to RSV-F protein in the water extract of Forsythia suspensa.The recovered samples were analyzed and identified by UHPLC-MS/MS,and the active components that stably bind to F protein were screened by molecular docking,molecular dynamics simulation and SPR affinity detection,and then returned to animal experiments for pharmacodynamics verification.BALB/c mice were randomly divided into normal group,model group,positive control group,protocatechuic acid group and verbascoside group.In the experimental group,RSV was dripped into the nose to make models.Each drug group began to be given intragastric intervention on the day of modeling,and samples were taken after 4 days.HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of lung tissue,and ELISA was used to detect the changes of inflammatory factors in lung tissue.Results A variety of active components in the aqueous extract of Forsythia suspensa could bind to RSV-F protein,among which the results of verbascoside and protocatechuic acid were more stable.In vivo pharmacodynamics experiments showed that the lung tissue of the model group had obvious pathological changes and the level of inflammatory factors increased,and the pathological state was improved after the intervention of verbascoside and protocatechuic acid compared with the normal group.Conclusion Forsythia suspensa can interfere with the expression of RSV-F protein through many active components such as verbascoside and protocatechuic acid,which may be the material basis of its anti-RSV.

Objective:To explore the effects of different titanium(Ti)surfaces on mitochondria metabolism and polarization of mac-rophages.Methods:The anodic oxidation method prepared nanotubes with distinct morphologies(NT5 and NT20 groups)on smooth titanium surfaces(P group)were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).After 24 hours of culturing RAW264.7 cells on the samples,SEM was employed to observe the morphology of the cells of all groups.Levels of mitochondria ATP and ROS,as well as the activity of hexokinase(HK),were measured by fluorescence probes and luciferase assays.The expression of iNOS,Arg-1,TNF-α and CD206 mRNA was evaluated by RT-qPCR.Changes in mitochondria metabolism and macrophage polarization were studied following inhibition of cellular glycolysis by using 2-deoxy-D-glucose(2-DG)in groups P*and NT20*.Results:Compared with the P group,the NT5 group showed no significant changes in mitochondria ATP,ROS levels and HK activity,but an upregula-tion in M2-associated gene expression was observed.In the NT20 group,mitochondria ATP and ROS levels were increased,HK ac-tivity was elevated,and M1-associated gene expression was upregulated.After glycolysis inhibition,there was no significant differ-ence in mitochondria ATP,ROS levels,HK activity and polarization-related gene expression levels between the P*and NT20*groups compared with the P group.Conclusion:Large-diameter nanotubes may promote macrophage M1 polarization by regulating the metabolic reprogramming that occurs in macrophage mitochondria.

Objective:To evaluate the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) and cost-effectiveness of fixed versus adjusted follicle-stimulation hormone (FSH) dosages in infertile women with different ovarian responses during their first assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycle.Methods:A retrospective real-world cohort study was conducted on 5 419 infertile women who underwent their first ART treatment at the Department of Reproductive Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between January 2013 and December 2017. All patients received an individualized starting dosage of gonadotropin. Based on whether FSH dosages were adjusted during controlled ovarian stimulation (COS), patients were divided into fixed-dosage group ( n=2 061) and adjusted-dosage group ( n=3 358). Clinical outcomes and FSH cost-effectiveness were compared between the two groups across different ovarian response groups, with CLBR as the primary outcome. Propensity score matching (PSM) and multivariable logistic regression were used to adjust for potential confounders. Results:FSH dosage adjustments were found in 62.0% (3 358/5 419) of cycles during COS. After PSM, baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups (all P>0.05). After adjusting for confounders using multivariable logistic regression, FSH dosage adjustment was not significantly associated with CLBR ( OR=1.06, 95% CI: 0.94-1.20, P=0.332). Compared with the adjusted-dosage group, the fixed-dosage group showed no significant differences in CLBR in poor-, normal-, and high-responder groups (all P>0.05). The incidence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) did not differ significantly between the two groups ( P>0.05). In poor-, normal-, and high-responder groups, the total FSH dosages in the fixed-dose group [1 350 (375, 1 825) U, 1 200 (375, 1 500) U and 525 (375, 1 128) U, respectively] were significantly lower than those in the adjusted-dose group [1 875 (1 425, 2 294) U, P=0.001; 1 425 (450, 1 875) U, P<0.001; 600 (375, 1 425) U, P=0.020]. Similarly, average FSH costs in different ovarian response groups in the fixed-dosage group [4 725.0 (1 312.5, 6 387.5) yuan, 4 200.0 (1 312.5, 5 250.0) yuan and 1 837.5 (1 312.5, 3 947.3) yuan, respectively] were significantly lower than those in the adjusted-dosage group [6 562.5 (4 987.5, 8 028.1) yuan, P=0.001; 4 987.5 (1 575.0, 6 562.5) yuan, P<0.001; 2 100.0 (1 312.5, 4 987.5) yuan, P=0.020]. For normal-responders, the FSH cost per high-quality embryo in the fixed-dosage group [1 365.0 (875.0, 2 537.5) yuan] was significantly lower than that in the adjusted-dosage group [2 056.3 (1 268.8, 3 412.5) yuan, P<0.001]. Conclusion:FSH dosage adjustment during COS is not associated with CLBR or the incidence of OHSS. However, the fixed-dose group exhibited lower total FSH dosages and costs across different ovarian response populations. In the context of ART being covered by medical insurance, fixed FSH dosage may represent a more cost-effective ovarian stimulation protocol.
