Irritable bowel syndrome （IBS） is a functional bowel disorder characterized primarily by abdominal pain and altered defecation habits. In recent years， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has made progress in multiple aspects of IBS research and treatment， including syndrome distribution， development of TCM formulas， clinical efficacy evaluation， external therapies， and psychosocial regulation. However， it still faces challenges such as over-reliance on symptomatic manifestations rather than biomarkers for diagnostic criteria， and the lack of high-quality evidence-based data supporting the efficacy of TCM formulas in treating IBS. This paper proposed that TCM diagnosis and treatment of IBS should adhere to the strategy of integrating the holistic concept with syndrome differentiation and treatment， combining TCM external therapies such as acupuncture， moxibustion and acupoint application）， and emphasizing individualized diagnosis and treatment for psychosomatic abnormalities. Future research should integrate multi-omics technologies， artificial intelligence and other methods to deepen the understanding of the pathogenesis of IBS and the mechanisms of TCM formulas， so as to promote the standardization and internationalization of TCM in the diagnosis and treatment of IBS.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) usually requires renal replacement therapy (RRT). Common RRT modes include peritoneal dialysis, continuous renal replacement therapy, intermittent hemodialysis and continuous low-efficiency hemodialysis. In clinical practice, there is still controversy over how to select the appropriate RRT mode for AKI patients and when initiating RRT is more beneficial for AKI patients. This article summarizes previous studies on the impact of RRT mode and initiation timing on the prognosis of AKI patients, with the aim of providing assistance for clinical decision-making.

In January 2023, a patient with soft tissue degloving defect of right index, middle, ring and little fingers was treated in the Department of Hand Surgery, Suzhou Ruihua Orthopaedic Hospital. Seven free flaps from a leg were harvested to reconstruct the defected wound of fingers in primary surgery. Flap thinning and plastic surgery were performed in stage-II surgery. Over the 22 months of postoperative follow-up, the flaps in right index, middle, ring and little fingers survived well with the colour and texture close to proximal skin. There was no obvious swelling of the flaps and sensation of the flaps recovered to S 3. The donor sites healed well and the donor leg walked normally.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and correlation between peak oxygen uptake(VO?peak)and heart rate recov-ery(HRR)during cardiopulmonary exercise test(CPET)in patients with coronary borderline lesions.Methods From January,2022 to January,2024,183 patients with coronary borderline lesions in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were divided into low cardiorespiratory fitness(LCF)group(n=61),moderate cardiorespiratory fitness(MCF)group(n=62)and high cardiorespiratory fitness(HCF)group(n=60)based on VO?peak.Their characteristics and CPET parameters including VO?peak,exercise-phase heart rate(HR1,HR2,HR3),and post-exercise heart rate recovery(HRR1,HRR2,HRR3)were analyzed.Results After adjusting for age and body mass index,analysis of covariance showed that the peak heart rate,HR1,HR2 and HR3 were the lowest in LCF group(F>5.388,P<0.01).Repeated-measures analysis of variance showed that the inter-and intra-group effects were significant in HRR(F>14.561,P<0.001).Partial correlation analy-sis showed that VO?peak positively correlated with HRR1(r=0.404,P<0.001),HRR2(r=0.379,P<0.001)and HRR3(r=0.425,P<0.001).Conclusion In patients with coronary artery borderline lesions,VO?peak demonstrated a significant inverse correlation with HRR,the lower the VO?peak,the more delays of HRR.

Objective:To analyze the short-term hospital-based transmission characteristics and gene variation of Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) by genome-wide technique to provide evidence for transmission control. Methods:The experimental strain was derived from all the CRKP isolated in Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology from October 2022 to December 2023. Strain identification and drug susceptibility were tested with VITEK 2-Compact automatic bacterial identification drug susceptibility analyzer or disk method, and the results were interpreted through whole genome sequencing. The ST type, carbapenem resistance gene, virulence factor, and O serotype of the collected strains were analyzed.Results:Among the 115 strains of CRKP, 94 strains were isolated from the intensive care unit (ICU), accounting for 81.7%, and 21 strains were isolated from the non-intensive care unit (NICU), accounting for 18.3%. The 115 strains of CRKP can be divided into 11 ST types, of which ST11 type was the most (54.8%, 63/115), followed by ST15 type (22.6%, 26/115) and ST5492 type (15.7%, 18/115). Type ST5492 was a new clonal group in the region. The 115 strains of CRKP could be divided into 7 O serotypes, most of which were O2a type(32.2%,37/115), followed by O5 type(30.4%,35/115) and O1 type(27.8%,32/115). The resistance genes of carbapenem antibiotics showed that there were 107 strains carrying the blaKPC-2 gene, one strain with the blaNDM-1 gene, and one strain with both the blaKPC-2 and blaNDM-13 genes. Virulence genes were detected in 55 CRKP strains (47.8%, 55/115), among which six strains detected peg-344, iucA, iroB, rmpA, and rmpA2 virulence genes (5.2%, 6/115). Four virulence genes ( peg-344, iucA, rmpA, and rmpA2) were detected in 34 strains (29.6%, 34/115). Three virulence genes ( iucA, iroB and rmpA) were detected in two strains (1.7%, 2/115). Three virulence genes ( peg-344, iucA and rmpA) were detected in one strain (0.8%, 1/115). IucA and rmpA virulence genes were detected in 12 strains (10.4%, 12/115). KPC-2_ST11_O2a, KPC-2_ST15_O1 and KPC-2_ST5492_O5 were dominant clones, and their distribution was mainly in the intensive care unit. The whole genome sequence analysis showed that there were three dominant clones, among which ST11 clones were subdivided into three dominant O serotypes, all of which were mainly in the intensive care unit. Conclusion:The popular strain in the hospital of CRKP is a KPC-2_ST11 clone group carrying iucA, rmpA/rmpA2, with cross-department transmission and mutation. ST5492 is a newly-launched clone type. The intensive care unit of hvKP carrying five virulence genes, including peg-344, should be alert to the epidemic risk of CR-hvKP outbreak.

Objective:To analyze the carriage status, subtype distribution and flanking gene sequence characteristics of oxacillinases (OXA enzyme) in 241 clinical strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and assess their roles in the drug resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and ability to horizontally transfer across species. Methods:Clinical P. aeruginosa isolates were collected from four hospitals in Sanya, Tangshan, Zhangjiakou, and Beijing. The prevalence of oxacillinases and their flanking gene sequences was analyzed by whole-genome sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatic approaches. Results:A total of 241 isolates of P. aeruginosa were gathered, and 35 blaOXA subtypes were identified through screening of 252 blaOXA genes. These genes were classified into three subfamilies: blaOXA-50-like (241, 95.6%), blaOXA-1-like (9, 3.6%) and blaOXA-10-like (2, 0.8%). Among these, 11 subtypes (11, 31.4%) were novel blaOXA subtypes. Nine of these belonged to the blaOXA-50-like subfamily and were designated as blaOXA-1244, blaOXA-1245, blaOXA-1246, blaOXA-1250, blaOXA-1252, blaOXA-1253, blaOXA-1254, blaOXA-1255, and blaOXA-1256. The remaining two belonged to the blaOXA-10-like subfamily and were named blaOXA-1247 and blaOXA-1248. Compared to the amino acid sequence of OXA-10, the newly identified subtype OXA-1247 exhibited a mutation at position 117, where a valine was replaced by a leucine. This change was thought to improve the enzyme′s ability to hydrolyze carbapenems. In the analysis of the flanking sequences of the blaOXA genes, Class I integrons were identified in four bacterial strains. The variable regions of these integrons carried three distinct patterns of resistance gene cassettes: aac( 6′) -Ib-blaOXA-1247-ant( 3′′) -Ia, aac( 6′) -Ib-blaOXA-1248 and aac( 6′) -Ib- blaIMP-45-blaOXA-1-catB3. Among these, the strain BJ2326 carried a class I integron that was connected to the downstream IS CR1 element to form a composite class I integron structure, additionally carrying the resistance gene blaPER-1. Out of the 223 non-wild-type P. aeruginosa strains, 127 strains exhibited non-wild-type profiles to the four beta-lactam antibiotics MEM, CAZ, FEP, and TZP, with the combination of MEM+CAZ+FEP being the most prevalent, representing 57.0% of the total. Conclusions:The blaOXA genes in 241 clinical P. aeruginosa strains showed diversity. Some blaOXA genes had a co-transfer risk with the metallo-β-lactamase resistance gene blaIMP-45. Among the 11 newly discovered blaOXA subtypes, the new subtype OXA-1247 may have carbapenemase activity and potential for horizontal transfer.

Objective To explore the prediction efficiency of Ki-67 expression status in pituitary adenoma(PA)based on a joint model of siamese network and transfer learning.Methods The preoperative MR T1WI enhanced sequence images of 370 patients with PA diagnosed by surgery and pathology were retrospectively collected.According to the results of immunohistochemical,all patients were divided into high proliferation index group(Ki-67≥3,n=97)and low proliferation index group(Ki-67＜3,n=273),and all the sample data were randomly divided into training set and test set according to the ratio of 7∶3.Two single predictive models,ResNet-50 and VGGNet-16 and combined them with the siamese network and transfer learning were built.The prediction efficiency of different models were evaluated via accuracy rate,precision rate,recall rate,F1 score and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve as the main criteria.Results Compared with a single predictive model,the model combined with siamese network and transfer learning showed a better performance for predicting the Ki-67 of PA.Additionally,the ResNet-50 joint model exhibited the superior predictive performance.The accuracy rate was 0.872 7,the precision rate was 0.812 5,the recall rate was 0.764 7,the F1 score was 0.787 9,and the area under the curve(AUC)was 0.841 6.Conclusion The joint model based on siamese network and transfer learning exhibits a higher efficiency for predicting the Ki-67 expression status in PA,which can help the clinicians to formulate more personalized treatment for the patients.

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that mainly affects dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra region of the brain,and its clinical manifestations include shaking and slowness of movement.The means of clinical medicine treatment are limited,but traditional Chinese medicine,with its advantages of low cost and high safety,shows great potential in the prevention and treatment of Parkinson's disease.Our team proposed that the core pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease was"earth deficiency and wood multiplication",that is,spleen(soil)deficiency and liver(wood)dysfunction.Among them,"earth deficiency"was the basis of the disease,and"wood multiplication"was the core of the disease.The treatment advocated"strengthening spleen and soothing liver",the specific methods included strengthening spleen and resolving phlegm,Tonify qi and cultivate the middle and soothing liver and relieve depression,and subdue wind and unblock the meridians,etc.Representative recipes were Lianmei Siwu decoction,Zhengan Xifeng decoction,Huangya decoction and Shenzhu decoction.In the treatment,we should pay attention to the whole concept and syndrome differentiation and treatment,and combine the three factors to improve the clinical effect.At the same time,the advantages and mechanisms of TCM in the prevention and treatment of Parkinson's disease deserve further research and verification.
