Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-positive bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-positive bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. 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 software were used to analyze the data.Results:A total of 3 163 strains of Gram-positive pathogens were collected from 51 member units，and the top five bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus（ n=1 147，36.3%），coagulase-negative Staphylococci（ n=928，29.3%）， Enterococcus faecalis（ n=369，11.7%）， Enterococcus faecium（ n=296，9.4%）and alpha-hemolyticus Streptococci（ n=192，6.1%）. The detection rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus（MRSA）and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci（MRCNS）were 26.4%（303/1 147）and 66.7%（619/928），respectively. No glycopeptide and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci were detected. The sensitivity rates of Staphylococcus aureus to cefpirome，rifampin，compound sulfamethoxazole，linezolid，minocycline and tigecycline were all >95.0%. Enterococcus faecium was more prevalent than Enterococcus faecalis. The resistance rates of Enterococcus faecium to vancomycin and teicoplanin were both 0.5%（2/369），and no vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium was detected. The detection rate of MRSA in southern China was significantly lower than that in other regions（ χ2=14.578， P=0.002），while the detection rate of MRCNS in northern China was significantly higher than that in other regions（ χ2=15.195， P=0.002）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in provincial hospitals were higher than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=13.519 and 12.136， P<0.001）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in economically more advanced regions（per capita GDP≥92 059 Yuan in 2022）were higher than those in economically less advanced regions（per capita GDP<92 059 Yuan）（ χ2=9.969 and 7.606， P=0.002和0.006）. Conclusions:Among the Gram-positive pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China， Staphylococci is the most common while the MRSA incidence decreases continuously with time；the detection rate of Enterococcus faecium exceeds that of Enterococcus faecalis. The overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci is still at a low level. The composition ratio of Gram-positive pathogens and resistant profiles varies slightly across regions of China，with the prevalence of MRSA and MRCNS being more pronounced in provincial hospitals and areas with a per capita GDP≥92 059 yuan.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness and safety of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation for renal tumors, guided by both ultrasound and CT, under local anesthesia.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 40 patients with renal tumors admitted to Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital between January 2018 and December 2022. This treatment involved ultrasound/CT dual-guided radiofrequency ablation under local anesthesia. The cohort included 33 males and 7 females, with an average age of (61.5±11.9) years old and a body mass index (BMI) of (24.79±3.37) kg/m 2. The tumors were located in the left kidney in 20 cases and the right kidney in 16 cases, with 4 cases involving bilateral renal tumors. There were 44 tumors in 40 patients, with the maximum tumor diameter ranging from 1.0 to 4.0 cm [mean (2.3 ± 0.7) cm]. Distribution by kidney pole was as follows: 15 cases at the upper pole, 21 at the middle pole, and 8 at the lower pole. Of the tumors, 23 were exophytic, 5 were endophytic, and 16 exhibited mixed features. There were 2 patients with multiple metastases before surgery(including 1 patient with bilateral renal tumor). Preoperative serum creatinine level was 68.0(56.5, 87.5)μmol/L, and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 114.2 (79.6, 132.4) ml/(min·1.73 m 2). All patients underwent renal biopsy before or during radiofrequency ablation. Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation surgery was performed using ultrasound and CT dual guidance on all patients, ensuring complete tumor destruction during the procedure as confirmed by dual positioning. Patients with bilateral tumors underwent two separate surgeries, spaced one month apart. Postoperatively, closely monitor the patient's vital signs and conduct long-term follow-ups to record any recurrence and metastasis. Results:In this series, all 40 procedures (involving 44 renal units) were successfully completed under local anesthesia without any need for blood transfusion, conversion to open surgery, or perioperative deaths. The average radiofrequency ablation time was (9.5 ± 3.6) min. Tumor characteristics included predominantly exophytic growths (23 cases, 52.3%), with 31 cases (70.5%) located more than 7 mm from the collecting system and 28 cases (63.6%) positioned posteriorly. Thirteen cases (29.5%) were entirely outside the polar line. The average R. E.N.A.L. nephrometry score was 6.1±0.2. Pathological examination revealed 34 cases of clear cell carcinoma, 2 of papillary renal cell carcinoma, 4 of unclassified renal cell carcinoma, and 4 benign renal tumors. In this cohort, two patients with bilateral renal tumors exhibited benign tumors on one side, while two other patients had malignant tumors in both kidneys. All 40 malignant tumors identified in 38 cases were classified at stage cT 1a.Postoperative serum creatinine level was 71.5 (59.0, 94.3) μmol/L, showing no statistically significant change from preoperative levels ( P > 0.05). Similarly, the eGFR post-operation was 107.4 (79.7, 132.2) ml/(min·1.73 m 2), which also did not differ significantly from preoperative values ( P > 0.05). There were no postoperative complications of Clavien-Dindo grade ≥Ⅱ, except for one case of severe pain (score 7-10). The follow-up period ranged from 15 to 70 months. Among the 38 cases, 36 patients did not have distant metastasis before surgery. There were 2 patients (5.5%) with local recurrence within 60 months after surgery. Among them, one case relapsed 6 months after radiofrequency ablation and was treated with partial nephrectomy. The patient was followed up for 60 months after the second treatment, and no local recurrence occurred. Another patient relapsed 41 months after surgery and was treated with radiofrequency ablation again. The patient was followed up for 12 months after the second treatment, and no local recurrence occurred. Two patients with distant metastasis before surgery were treated with targeted therapy plus immunotherapy for 12 months after surgery. One case had local recurrence 8 months after surgery and was treated with partial nephrectomy. The patient was followed up for 60 months after partial nephrectomy and no local recurrence occurred. Another patient with bilateral renal tumors developed left kidney recurrence 34 months after radiofrequency ablation, and underwent left partial nephrectomy. The right kidney recurred 42 months after radiofrequency ablation and underwent radiofrequency ablation again. After the second right renal radiofrequency ablation, no local recurrence occurred during 12 months of follow-up. Conclusions:Ultrasound/CT dual-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation, performed under local anesthesia for treating renal tumors, has minimal impact on the patient's renal function. The procedure boasts a low complication rate, with no postoperative severe complications. Additionally, the postoperative tumor control is effective, making it a safe and minimally invasive surgical option.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of targeted biopsy of secondary lesion (SL) in systematic biopsy (SB) combined targeted biopsy for clinically significant prostate cancer (CsPCa).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of patients who underwent systematic biopsy combined target biopsy at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2021 to February 2023, and they had at least two Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) score ≥3 lesions on prostate magnetic resonance imaging. The study included patients with a median age of 70 (65, 76) years old, median prostate specific antigen (PSA) was 9.1 (5.96, 13.62) ng/ml, median prostate volume was 39.1 (29.27, 53.25) ml, and median PSAD was 0.2 (0.15, 0.38) ng/ml 2.The index lesion (IL) was defined as the one with the highest PI-RADS score and SL was defined as the one with the second-highest PI-RADS score. If the two lesions had the same PI-RADS score, the one with larger maximum diameter was IL and the other one was SL. The median maximum diameter of IL and SL were 1.3 (1.06, 1.66) cm and 0.9 (0.69, 1.20) cm, respectively. The median maximum diameter ratio of IL and SL was 1.48 (1.10, 1.91), and the median maximum diameter difference of IL and SL was 0.9 (0.20, 1.89) cm. The IL in peripheral zone was found in 238 patients (62.63%) and SL in peripheral zone was found in 255 patients (67.10%). There were 204 patients (53.68%) having both IL and SL on the same side of prostate. According to the combination of PI-RADS scores of IL and SL, patients were categorized into various groups: 96 patients (25.26%) with IL3 and SL3, 79 (20.78%) with IL4 and SL3, 98 (25.78%) with IL4 and SL4, 21 (5.52%) with IL5 and SL3, 76 (20.0%) with IL5 and SL4, and 10 (2.63%) with IL5 and SL5. Targeted biopsy was performed on at least two of the most significant lesions. Comparison was performed in the detection rate of CsPCa between SB+ IL+ SL and SB+ IL (SL was omitted). To explore the factors influencing the detection rate of CsPCa, a multivariate logistic regression analysis was used. Results:The detection rate of CsPCa in this study was 78.95% (300/380) based on SB+ IL+ SL. After omitting SL target biopsy, the detection rate of CsPCa was 78.16% (297/380, P>0.05) under the condition of SB+ IL. No significant differences were noted between the two groups. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PSA ( OR=1.11, 95% CI 1.05-1.20, P<0.01), prostate volume ( OR=0.98, 95% CI 0.96-0.99, P<0.01), SL maximum diameter ( OR=0.19, 95% CI 0.08-0.50, P<0.01), ratio of IL and SL maximum diameter ( OR=0.34, 95% CI 0.16-0.68, P<0.01), difference of IL and SL maximum diameter ( OR=1.50, 95% CI 1.10-2.29, P<0.05), and PI-RADS score group of IL and SL (IL3 vs. SL3 as the reference, IL4 vs. SL3 OR=4.79, 95% CI 2.21-10.91, P<0.01, IL4 vs. SL4 OR=23.11 95% CI 8.09-85.28, P<0.01, IL5 vs. SL3/4/5 OR=15.28 95% CI 5.21-48.55, P<0.01) were the influencing factors for detection rate of CsPCa. Conclusions:For patients with at least two PI-RADS score≥3 lesions on prostate magnetic resonance imaging, omitting SL can almost maintain the same detection efficacy.

During hospitalization, no vasoactive drugs were used, and necrotizing enterocolitis did not occur. The gastric tube was removed at a corrected gestational age of 37 weeks and 4 days. At a corrected gestational age of 40 weeks, cranial MRI showed no abnormalities. The infant was discharged at a corrected gestational age of 42 weeks after 143 days of treatment, without the need for any respiratory support. Follow-up until a corrected age of 6 months showed good growth and development.

Objective:To analyze the reinfection rates in people previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 in Zhengzhou and Yuzhou cities (first infected with Delta/B.1.617.2 variant), and Anyang city (first infected with Omicron/BA.1.1 variant) in January 2022 and the population characteristics, and compare the differences in antibody levels among different populations.Methods:Serum samples were collected from 371 previously infected, 134 reinfected and 19 uninfected people for IgG antibody detection. Among them, serum samples from 45 previously infected, 44 reinfected and 19 uninfected people were tested with different novel coronavirus variants (early original strain, BA.5.2 variant, XBB.1.5 variant) for neutralizing antibody detection.Results:The rate of reinfection was 32.82% (85/259) in Zhengzhou and Yuzhou cities, and 19.92% (49/246) in Anyang city. The IgG antibody level in reinfected people was higher than that in previously infected and uninfected people ( P<0.05). The IgG antibody level in uninfected group was higher in people vaccinated within three months than in those vaccinated six months ago ( P<0.05). The IgG antibody level in the group receiving four doses of vaccine was higher than that in the group receiving three doses of vaccine ( P<0.05). The results of true virus neutralization antibody detection showed that in the Zhengzhou and Yuzhou cases, the level of neutralization antibody against the early original strain was higher than those against the BA.5.2 variant and the XBB.1.5 variant ( P<0.05), and the level of neutralizing antibody against BA.5.2 variant was higher than that against XBB.1.5 variant ( P<0.05). In Anyang city cases, the level of neutralizing antibody against the early original strain was higher than those against BA.5.2 variant and XBB.1.5 variant ( P<0.05); in the reinfected population, the level of neutralizing antibody against the early original strain was higher than that against the XBB.1.5 variant ( P<0.05). In addition, the levels of all neutralizing antibodies in both previously infected and reinfected people were higher than those in uninfected people ( P<0.05). The level of neutralizing antibody in the infected population in Zhengzhou and Yuzhou cities was higher than that in the infected population in Anyang city and in uninfected population ( P<0.05). The levels of antibodies against BA.5.2 and anti-XBB.1.5 variants in infected people in Zhengzhou and Yuzhou cities were higher than those in uninfected people ( P<0.05). The level of neutralizing antibody against BA.5.2 variants in the previously infected population in Anyang city was higher than that in the uninfected population ( P<0.05), and the level of neutralizing antibody against XBB.1.5 variants in the infected population in Anyang city was higher than that in the uninfected population ( P<0.05). Conclusions:After infection with SARS-CoV-2, the neutralizing antibodies produced in the human body have a certain cross-protection effect on other variants, but the antibody level will gradually decrease over time. Protection from a previous early SARS-CoV-2 variants infection against the current main circulating Omicron variants (such as XBB variants) is low, and the immunity conferred by pervious infection or booster vaccination may not be able to provide sufficient protection against new variants.

Strengthening the management of key positions in medical and health institutions, implementing rotation management of personnels in key positions, is of great significance for regulating the operation of power and preventing corruption risks. A tertiary grade A hospital in Qingdao has implemented a rotation system for personnels in key positions among functional department from an internal control perspective since 2022. On the basis of conducting job risk assessment, the hospital has developed a key position rotation system, determining the scope, rotation cycle, and rotation method for key position personnels, and formulated key position rotation plan. The Party Committee Office and the Human Resources Department were responsible for organizing and implementing it, and evaluating the implementation effect. From 2022 to 2023, 61 key positions were rotated between departments and within departments, accounting for 37.7% of the total number of key positions. Compared with 2021, the number of petitions and reports received by the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office for key positions in 2022 has decreased by 12.5%, which can provide reference for other medical and health institutions to carry out anti-corruption risk management.
