Objective To summarize the changing prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Enterobacterales based on the data of CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021 for improving antimicrobial treatment in clinical practice.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using a commercial automated susceptibility testing system according to the unified CHINET protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints of the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)M100 31st ed in 2021.Results Over the seven-year period(2015-2021),the overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE)was 9.43％(62 342/661 235).The prevalence of CRE strains in Klebsiella pneumoniae,Citrobacter freundii,and Enterobacter cloacae was 22.38％,9.73％,and 8.47％,respectively.The prevalence of CRE strains in Escherichia coli was 1.99％.A few CRE strains were also identified in Salmonella and Shigella.The CRE strains were mainly isolated from respiratory specimens(44.23±2.80)％,followed by blood(20.88±3.40)％and urine(18.40±3.45)％.Intensive care units(ICUs)were the major source of the CRE strains(27.43±5.20)％.CRE strains were resistant to all the β-lactam antibiotics tested and most non-β-lactam antimicrobial agents.The CRE strains were relatively susceptible to tigecycline and polymyxins with low resistance rates.Conclusions The prevalence of CRE strains was increasing from 2015 to 2021.CRE strains were highly resistant to most of the antibacterial drugs used in clinical practice.Clinicians should prescribe antimicrobial agents rationally.Hospitals should strengthen antibiotic stewardship in key clinical settings such as ICUs,and take effective infection control measures to curb CRE outbreak and epidemic in hospitals.

Objective To characterize the changing species distribution and antibiotic resistance profiles of respiratory isolates in hospitals participating in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021.Methods Commercial automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems and disk diffusion method were used to test the susceptibility of respiratory bacterial isolates to antimicrobial agents following the standardized technical protocol established by the CHINET program.Results A total of 589 746 respiratory isolates were collected from 2015 to 2021.Overall,82.6％of the isolates were Gram-negative bacteria and 17.4％were Gram-positive bacteria.The bacterial isolates from outpatients and inpatients accounted for(6.0±0.9)％and(94.0±0.1)％,respectively.The top microorganisms were Klebsiella spp.,Acinetobacter spp.,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Staphylococcus aureus,Haemophilus spp.,Stenotrophomonas maltophilia,Escherichia coli,and Streptococcus pneumoniae.Each microorganism was isolated from significantly more males than from females(P＜0.05).The overall prevalence of methicillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA)was 39.9％.The prevalence of penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae was 1.4％.The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase(ESBL)-producing E.coli and K.pneumoniae was 67.8％and 41.3％,respectively.The overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant E.coli,K.pneumoniae,Enterobacter cloacae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and Acinetobacter baumannii was 3.7％,20.8％,9.4％,29.8％,and 73.3％,respectively.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 96.1％in Moraxella catarrhalis and 60.0％in Haemophilus influenzae.The H.influenzae isolates from children(＜18 years)showed significantly higher resistance rates to β-lactam antibiotics than the isolates from adults(P＜0.05).Conclusions Gram-negative bacteria are still predominant in respiratory isolates associated with serious antibiotic resistance.Antimicrobial resistance surveillance should be strengthened in clinical practice to support accurate etiological diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial therapy based on antimicrobial susceptibility testing results.

Objective:To investigate the effect of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor BMS-1 on LPS-induced inflammation in mouse microg-lia cells(BV-2 cells).Methods:Bv-2 cells were divided into Control group,LPS group and LPS+BMS-1 group.Bv-2 cells in Control group were cultured in DMEM medium for 78 hours,cells in LPS group were stimulated with 100 ng/ml LPS for 6 hours after 72 hours of normal culture,Bv-2 cells in LPS+BMS-1 group were treated with 50 nmol/ml BMS-1 for 72 hours and then stimulated with 100 ng/ml LPS for 6 hours.Expressions of PD-1 and iNOS mRNA in each group were detected by RT-qPCR,and expressions of PD-1 and iNOS protein in microglia were detected by Western blot.Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis in each group.Levels of inflamma-tory cytokines IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α and IL-10 were detected by ELISA.Results:RT-qPCR and Western blot results showed that com-pared with Control group,LPS group had significantly increased expression of PD-1 and iNOS(P<0.05).Compared with LPS group,LPS+BMS-1 group had significantly decreased expression of PD-1(P<0.05)and significantly increased expression of iNOS(P<0.05).Flow cytometry showed that compared with Control group,LPS group had a significantly increased in apoptosis of microglia(P<0.000 1).Compared with LPS group,LPS+BMS-1 group had a significantly increased in apoptosis of microglia(P<0.000 1).ELISA results showed that compared with Control group,LPS group had no significantly increased in pro-inflammatory factors IL-1β and IL-6(P>0.05),while significantly increased in TNF-α(P<0.000 1)and anti-inflammatory factor IL-10(P<0.000 1).Pro-inflammatory cyto-kine IL-1β in LPS+BMS-1 group was significantly higher than that in LPS group(P=0.000 1),IL-6 and TNF-α were also significantly higher than those in LPS group(P<0.000 1),while anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in LPS+BMS-1 group was significantly lower than that in LPS group(P<0.000 1).Conclusion:BMS-1 can promote LPS-induced inflammatory response or impede the recovery of inflammation,and increase apoptosis of microglia.PD-1/PD-L1 pathway may be a potential therapeutic target for neuroinflammation.

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance of clinical isolates from elderly patients(≥65 years)in major medical institutions across China.Methods Bacterial strains were isolated from elderly patients in 52 hospitals participating in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program during the period from 2015 to 2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out by disk diffusion method and automated systems according to the same CHINET protocol.The data were interpreted in accordance with the breakpoints recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2021.Results A total of 514 715 nonduplicate clinical isolates were collected from elderly patients in 52 hospitals from January 1,2015 to December 31,2021.The number of isolates accounted for 34.3％of the total number of clinical isolates from all patients.Overall,21.8％of the 514 715 strains were gram-positive bacteria,and 78.2％were gram-negative bacteria.Majority(90.9％)of the strains were isolated from inpatients.About 42.9％of the strains were isolated from respiratory specimens,and 22.9％were isolated from urine.More than half(60.7％)of the strains were isolated from male patients,and 39.3％isolated from females.About 51.1％of the strains were isolated from patients aged 65-＜75 years.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains(MRSA)was 38.8％in 32 190 strains of Staphylococcus aureus.No vancomycin-or linezolid-resistant strains were found.The resistance rate of E.faecalis to most antibiotics was significantly lower than that of Enterococcus faecium,but a few vancomycin-resistant strains(0.2％,1.5％)and linezolid-resistant strains(3.4％,0.3％)were found in E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible S.pneumoniae(PSSP),penicillin-intermediate S.pneumoniae(PISP),and penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae(PRSP)was 94.3％,4.0％,and 1.7％in nonmeningitis S.pneumoniae isolates.The resistance rates of Klebsiella spp.(Klebsiella pneumoniae 93.2％)to imipenem and meropenem were 20.9％and 22.3％,respectively.Other Enterobacterales species were highly sensitive to carbapenem antibiotics.Only 1.7％-7.8％of other Enterobacterales strains were resistant to carbapenems.The resistance rates of Acinetobacter spp.(Acinetobacter baumannii 90.6％)to imipenem and meropenem were 68.4％and 70.6％respectively,while 28.5％and 24.3％of P.aeruginosa strains were resistant to imipenem and meropenem,respectively.Conclusions The number of clinical isolates from elderly patients is increasing year by year,especially in the 65-＜75 age group.Respiratory tract isolates were more prevalent in male elderly patients,and urinary tract isolates were more prevalent in female elderly patients.Klebsiella isolates were increasingly resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents,especially carbapenems.Antimicrobial resistance surveillance is helpful for accurate empirical antimicrobial therapy in elderly patients.

Plutonium isotopes(238Pu,239Pu,240Pu and 241Pu)in the environment are important"fingerprint"nuclides in the study of nuclear activity traceability.The content of plutonium isotopes in the environmental metrics is usually very low,and the measurement of these isotopes,especially 238Pu,using mass spectrometry is seriously interfered with by the coexisting 238U.The analysis of several plutonium isotopes in soil usually requires combination of multiple measurement techniques,which leads to a long analysis time and large uncertainty in the isotope ratio.In this work,the hydrous titanium oxide(HTiO)precipitated by the hydrolysis of titanium oxydichloride(TiOCl2)under near-neutral condition was used to preconcentrate plutonium from the soil digestion solution,and the highly efficient decontamination of 238U in the sample was achieved by TK200 resin column chromatography with a decontamination factor of 108.Simulation resuts of density functional theory(DFT)showed that NH3 was considered as a promising reaction gas to eliminate the interference of 238U from 238Pu measurement using mass spectrometry due to the significant discrepancy of the chemical reactivity of U+and Pu+with the reactive gas NH3.Experiments confirmed that by optimizing the flow rates of collision gas(He)and reaction gas(NH3),the interference of 238U could be effectively suppressed,and the decontamination factor of 238U was 104.Combined with chemical separation,the overall decontamination factor of 238U could reach 1012 by using the developed method.By combining chemical separation and tandem quadrupole inductively coupled plasmon-mass spectrometry(ICP-MS/MS)measurement,the simultaneous determination of four ultra-trace plutonium isotopes in soil was realized,and the detection limit of plutonium isotopes was at the femtogram level.Analysis of the international standard reference materials(NIST-SRM-4357 and IAEA-384)showed that the established method could be successfully used for the accurate analysis of ultra-trace four plutonium isotopes(238Pu,239Pu,240Pu and 241Pu)in soil samples.

Objective To investigate the effect of ubiquitin-specific peptidase(USP)44 and nuclear receptor co-inhibitor 1(NCOR1)expression on prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer.Methods A total of 98 pa-tients with non-small cell lung cancer admitted to a hospital from May 2019 to May 2021 were selected as the study objects,and non-small cell lung cancer tissues and adjacent tissues were collected to detect the expres-sion levels of USP44 and NCOR1 in these tissues by immunohistochemical staining.The relationship between USP44 and NCOR1 expression and pathological features of non-small cell lung cancer patients was analyzed,and the prognostic factors of non-small cell lung cancer patients were analyzed by multivariate Cox regression.Results The positive expression rates of USP44 and NCOR1 in non-small cell lung cancer tissues were higher than those in adjacent tissues,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The positive expression rates of USP44 and NCOR1 in patients with medium-low differentiation,lymph node metastasis,clinical stageⅢ to Ⅳ,and pleural metastasis were higher than those in patients with highly differentiated,no lymph node metastasis,clinical stage Ⅰ to Ⅱ,and no pleural metastasis,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The 3-year overall survival rate of USP44 and NCOR1 negative non-small cell lung cancer patients was higher than that of USP44 and NCOR1 positive non-small cell lung cancer patients,and the difference was statistically significant(all P<0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that pleural metastasis,USP44 positive and NCOR1 positive were prognostic factors in non-small cell lung cancer patients(P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of USP44 and NCOR1 in patients with non-small cell lung cancer can be used as biomarkers for prognosis assessment,and provide evidence for progression assessment and clinical de-cision making of non-small cell lung cancer.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

Objective:To investigate the surgical technique and initial outcomes of distal derotational femoral osteotomy (DDFO) combined with knee extension device reconstruction in adolescents with habitual patellar dislocation and severe lower limb torsional deformity.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 10 adolescent patients (12 knees) treated at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital and its Guizhou branch from June 2016 to June 2022. There were 6 males and 4 females with an average age of 12.0±1.5 years (range: 10.0-14.5 years) Surgical treatment included DDFO and knee extension device reconstruction (lateral retinacular release, medial retinacular plication, Roux-Goldthwait distal realignment, and MPFL reconstruction). Clinical outcomes were assessed using Lysholm scores, incidence of redislocation and complications, and imaging parameters (lateral patellofemoral angle, Insall-Salvati index, TT-TG distance, and femoral anteversion angle) preoperatively and at 1 year postoperatively.Results:All 12 knees were successfully operated on, with an average surgery time of 2.0±0.5 h (range 1.0-2.5 h), intraoperative blood loss of 47.1±17.1 ml (range 20-80 ml), and follow-up time of 46.2±18.7 months (range 24-72 months). The Lysholm knee score improved from 58.25±8.80 preoperatively to 89.17±5.32 at final follow-up ( t=-9.096, P<0.001) with significant difference. The lateral patellofemoral angle improved from -64.92±4.68 preoperatively to 6.08±2.27 at final follow-up ( t=39.178, P<0.001) with significant difference. The femoral anteversion angle decreased from 34.08±3.06 preoperatively to 14.50±2.65 at final follow-up ( t=16.916, P<0.001) with significant difference. No patellar redislocation, skin necrosis, wound infection, or limited joint mobility occurred during follow-up. Conclusion:DDFO combined with knee extension device reconstruction is an effective and safe treatment for adolescent habitual patellar dislocation with severe torsional deformity, resulting in significant clinical and radiographic improvement with low complication rates.

Aim To investigate the mechanism of in-testinal mucosal barrier protective effect of Qingjie Huagong decoction(QJHGD)on rats with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).Methods The SAP rat model was constructed,and the sham-operation group,the model group,the group administered with different dosages of QJHGD,and the positive control group were set up respectively.HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes.ELISA was employed to detect the serum levels of diamine oxidase(DAO)and D-lactic acid(D-LA)in rats.Transmission electron microscopy was utilized to observe the mitochondria of ileal tissues.qRT-PCR and Western blot were applied to detect the mRNA and protein expression of PGAM5,Drp1,PINK1,Parkin,LC3B in ileal tissues of rats.Results Compared with the sham-operated group,the pancreas and ileum tissues of rats in the model group showed obvious pathological changes,with abnormal mitochondrial structure and reduced number of autoph-agic vesicles in the ileum tissues.The levels of DAO and D-LA in serum increased(P＜0.01),and the mRNA and protein expression of PGAM 5,Drp 1,PINK1,Parkin,and LC3B in the ileum tissues de-creased significantly.Compared with the model group,pancreatic and ileal pathology were improved,mito-chondrial damage in the ileum was reduced,and the number of autophagic vesicles increased in the QJHGD group.The serum levels of DAO and D-LA were re-duced,and the expression of PGAM5,Drp1,PINK1,Parkin,and LC3B mRNA and protein in the ileal tis-sues increased significantly.Conclusions QJHGD may exert a protective effect on the SAP intestinal mu-cosal barrier by regulating the PGAM5/Drp1/PINK1/Parkin axis in order to elevate the level of mitochondri-al autophagy in the intestinal epithelial cells,thereby improving the level of repair of the intestinal epithelial cells.
