Objective:To explore the incidence of Crohn's disease-like pouch (CDP) after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. One hundred and eighty-two UC patients undergoing IPAA at Jinling Hospital affiliated to Nanjing University from November 2003 to November 2024 were enrolled. Patients were categorized into CDP and non-CDP groups. Clinical features and prognosis were compared, and multivariate Cox regression was performed to identify risk factors for CDP.Results:A total of 182 UC patients were included, with a median follow-up time of 45.00 (30.00, 75.25) months. The patients were divided into two groups based on the diagnosis of CDP, with 23 patients (12.64%) in the CDP group and 159 patients (87.30%) in the non-CDP group. Compared to the non-CDP group, patients in the CDP group had a lower body mass index (BMI) ( Z=-2.87, P=0.004), and were more likely to develop early postoperative pouchitis (χ 2=4.50, P=0.034). The median time from ileostomy closure to the development of CDP was 12 .00 (6.00, 28.00) months. Cox regression analysis showed that a preoperative BMI<18.5 kg/m 2 ( HR=2.84, 95% CI: 1.24~6.49, P=0.013) and early postoperative pouchitis ( HR=3.11, 95% CI: 1.22~7.93, P=0.018) were associated with an increased risk of CDP. Conclusions:Preoperative low BMI and pouchitis occurring within 3 months postoperatively are significant risk factors for CDP. Close monitoring and early intervention are recommended for high-risk patients.

ObjectiveTo analyze the factors influencing meropenem-related liver injury （MRLI） and to explore their clinical predictive value. MethodsA retrospective case-control study was conducted， and the Chinese Hospital Pharmacovigilance System （CHPS） was used to establish a retrieval scheme. A total of 1 625 hospitalized cases using meropenem from January 2018 to December 2022 were collected. Patients were divided into case group （n=62） and control group （n=1 563） based on the presence or absence of liver injury. Clinical data and laboratory indicators from both groups were collected and analyzed. The t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between the two groups， while the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data not conforming to a normal distribution. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between the two groups. A multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the influencing factors for MRLI. A Logistic regression equation was established， and the predictive value of these factors was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve. ResultsThe results of univariate analysis indicated that the rates of male patients， hypoproteinemia， shock， intensive care unit （ICU） admissions， sepsis， and liver， gallbladder， and cardiovascular diseases， the levels of alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， alkaline phosphatase （ALP）， gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase （GGT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， creatinine （CREA）， and procalcitonin （PCT）， and the number of hospitalization days were significantly higher in the case group than in the control group （P<0.05）， and that the platelet levels in the case group were significantly lower than those in the control group （P<0.05）. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that male sex （odds ratio ［OR］=2.080， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.050 — 4.123， P=0.036）， admission to the ICU （OR=8.207， 95%CI： 4.094‍ ‍—‍ ‍16.453， P<0.001）， comorbidity with gallbladder disease （OR=8.240， 95%CI： 3.605‍ ‍—‍ ‍18.832， P<0.001）， ALP （OR=1.012， 95%CI： 1.004‍ ‍—‍ ‍1.019， P=0.004）， GGT （OR=1.010， 95%CI： 1.005‍ ‍—‍ ‍1.015， P<0.001）， and PLT （OR=0.997， 95%CI： 0.994‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.999， P=0.020） were the influential factors for MRLI. The areas under the ROC curve of ALP， GGT， and PLT were 0.589， 0.637， and 0.595， respectively， and the AUC of them combined was 0.837. ConclusionMale sex， ICU admission， comorbidity with gallbladder disease， increased ALP， increased GGT， and decreased PLT were influencing factors for MRLI， and a combination of factors has a better predictive value for the occurrence of MRLI.

Objective:To measure pancreatic fat deposition by magnetic resonance chemical shift imaging (CSI), and analyze the correlation between pancreatic fat deposition and pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 55 patients who underwent PD in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from September 2021 to April 2024. Among them, 34 were male (61.8%) and 21 were female (38.2%), with the age of (63.5±12.0) years. The 55 patients included 17 cases (30.9%) of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, 1 case (1.8%) of pancreatic serous cystadenoma, 2 cases (3.6%) of pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma, 1 case (1.8%) of pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumor, 11 cases (20.0%) of ampullary carcinoma, 10 cases (18.2%) of common bile duct carcinoma, and 13 cases of other pathological types (such as high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia of the ampullary gland, duodenal adenocarcinoma, etc.) (23.6%). Before the operation, pancreatic fat deposition was measured by CSI and the fat fraction was calculated. With a fat fraction of 6.2% as the cut-off value, 55 patients were divided into the normal pancreas group (fat fraction ≤ 6.2%, n=29) and the fat pancreas group (fat fraction > 6.2%, n=26). The total hospitalization cost, postoperative hospital stay, biochemical leakage, grade B pancreatic fistula of the two groups were compared, and the correlation between pancreatic fat fraction and pancreatic fistula was analyzed. Result:The total hospitalization cost in the normal pancreas group was (91 527.3±19 118.4) yuan, and the postoperative hospital stay was 9.0 (8.0, 13.0) days, both of which were lower than those in the fatty pancreas group (107 772.4 ± 27 055.6) yuan and 11.0 (8.0, 22.0) days, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-2.59, P=0.012; Z=-2.08, P=0.038). In the normal pancreas group, 8 cases (27.6%) of biochemical leakage and 1 case (3.4%) of grade B pancreatic fistula occurred after the operation. In the fat pancreas group, 10 cases (38.5%) of biochemical leakage and 8 cases (30.8%) of grade B pancreatic fistula occurred after the operation. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of biochemical leakage between the two groups ( χ2=0.74, P=0.391). The incidence of grade B pancreatic fistula after surgery in the adipose pancreas group was significantly higher than that in the normal pancreas group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=5.61, P=0.018). The relationship between pancreatic body fat fraction and the occurrence of pancreatic fistula is correlated (the correlation coefficient was 0.334, 95% CI: 0.127-0.515, P=0.013) The relationship between the overall fat fraction of the pancreas and the occurrence of pancreatic fistula is correlated (the correlation coefficient was 0.472, 95% CI: 0.235-0.689, P<0.001). Conclusions:The incidence of grade B pancreatic fistula after PD in patients with a low fat fraction of the pancreas measured by CSI was lower than that in patients with a high fat fraction. Fat deposition in the pancreatic body and the pancreas as a whole is associated with the incidence of pancreatic fistula.

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.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.

Objective To understand the changing composition and antibiotic resistance of bacterial species in the clinical isolates from outpatient and emergency department(hereinafter referred to as outpatients)and inpatient children over time in various hospitals,and to provide laboratory evidence for rational antibiotic use.Methods The data on clinically isolated pathogenic bacteria and antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates from outpatients and inpatient children in the CHINET program from 2015 to 2021 were collected and analyzed.Results A total of 278 471 isolates were isolated from pediatric patients in the CHINET program from 2015 to 2021.About 17.1％of the strains were isolated from outpatients,primarily group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus,Escherichia coli,and Staphylococcus aureus.Most of the strains(82.9％)were isolated from inpatients,mainly SS.aureus,E.coli,and H.influenzae.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA)in outpatients(24.5％)was lower than that in inpatient children(31.5％).The MRSA isolates from outpatients showed lower resistance rates to the antibiotics tested than the strains isolated from inpatient children.The prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis or E.faecium and penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae was low in either outpatients or inpatient children.S.pneumoniae,β-hemolytic Streptococcus and S.viridans showed high resistance rates to erythromycin.The prevalence of erythromycin-resistant group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus was higher in outpatients than that in inpatient children.The prevalence of β-lactamase-producing H.influenzae showed an overall upward trend in children,but lower in outpatients(45.1％)than in inpatient children(59.4％).The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKpn),carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(CRPae)and carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAba)was 14％,11.7％,47.8％in outpatients,but 24.2％,20.6％,and 52.8％in inpatient children,respectively.The prevalence of multidrug-resistant E.coli,K.pneumoniae,Proteus mirabilis,P.aeruginosa and A.baumannii strains was lower in outpatients than in inpatient children.The prevalence of fluoroquinolone-resistant E.coli,ESBLs-producing K.pneumoniae,ESBLs-producing P.mirabilis,carbapenem-resistant E.coli(CREco),CRKpn,and CRPae was lower in children in outpatients than in inpatient children,but the prevalence of CRAba in 2021 was higher than in inpatient children.Conclusions The distribution of clinical isolates from children is different between outpatients and inpatients.The prevalence of MRSA,ESBL,and CRO was higher in inpatient children than in outpatients.Antibiotics should be used rationally in clinical practice based on etiological diagnosis and antimicrobial susceptibility test results.Ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance and prevention and control of hospital infections are crucial to curbing bacterial resistance.

Objective To investigate the changing antibiotic resistance profiles of E.coli isolated from patients in the 52 hospitals participating in the CHINET program from 2015 to 2021.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested for clinical isolates of E.coli according to the unified protocol of CHINET program.WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 20.0 software were used for data analysis.Results Atotal of 289 760 nonduplicate clinical strains ofE.coli were isolated from 2015 to 2021,mainly from urine samples(44.7±3.2)％.The proportion of E.coli strains isolated from urine samples was higher in females than in males(59.0％vs 29.5％).The proportion of E.coli strains isolated from respiratory tract and cerebrospinal fluid samples was significantly higher in children than in adults(16.7％vs 7.8％,0.8％vs 0.1％,both P＜0.05).The isolates from internal medicine department accounted for the largest proportion(28.9±2.8)％with an increasing trend over years.Overall,the prevalence of ESBLs-producing E.coli and carbapenem resistant E.coli(CREco)was 55.9％and 1.8％,respectively during the 7-year period.The prevalence of ESBLs-producing E.coli was the highest in tertiary hospitals each year from 2015 to 2021 compared to secondary hospitals.The prevalence of CREco was higher in children's hospitals compared to secondary and tertiary hospitals each year from 2015 to 2021.The prevalence of ESBLs-producing E.coli in tertiary hospitals and children's hospitals and the prevalence of CREco in children's hospitals showed a decreasing trend over the 7-year period.The prevalence of CREco in secondary and tertiary hospitals increased slowly.Antibiotic resistance rates changed slowly from 2015 to 2021.Carbapenem drugs(imipenem,meropenem)were the most active drugs amongβ-lactams against E.coli(resistance rate≤2.1％).The resistance rates of E.coli to β-lactam/β-lactam inhibitor combinations(piperacillin-tazobactam,cefoperazone-sulbactam),aminoglycosides(amikacin),nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin(for urinary isolates only)were all less than 10％.The resistance rate of E.coli strains to antibiotics varied with the level of hospitals and the departments where the strains were isolated,especially for cefazolin and ciprofloxacin,to which the resistance rate of E.coli strains from children in non-ICU departments was significantly lower than that of the strains isolated from other departments(P＜0.05).The E.coli isolates from ICU showed higher resistance rate to most antimicrobial agents tested(excluding tigecycline)than the strains isolated from other departments.The E.coli strains isolated from tertiary hospitals showed higher resistance rates to the antimicrobial agents tested(excluding tigecycline,polymyxin B,cefepime and carbapenems)than the strains from secondary hospitals and children's hospitals.Conclusions E.coli is an important pathogen causing clinical infection.More than half of the clinical isolates produced ESBL.The prevalence of CREco is increasing in secondary and tertiary hospitals over the 7-year period even though the overall prevalence is still low.This is an issue of concern.

Objective To examine the changing prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Burkholderia cepacia in 52 hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were collected from 52 hospitals between January 1,2015 and December 31,2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility of the strains was tested using Kirby-Bauer method or automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems according to a unified protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released in the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)guidelines(2023 edition).Results A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were isolated from all age groups,especially elderly patients.The proportion was 11.1％(1 032 strains)in children,significantly lower than the proportion in adults.About half(46.5％,4 310/9 261)of the strains were isolated from patients at least 60 years old and 42.3％(3 919/9 261)of the strains were isolated from young adults.Most isolates(71.1％)were isolated from sputum and respiratory secretions,followed by urine(10.7％)and blood samples(8.1％).B.cepacia isolates were highly susceptible to the five antimicrobial agents recommended in the CLSI M100 document(33rd edition,2023).B.cepacia isolates showed relatively higher resistance rates to meropenem and levofloxacin.However,the resistance rates to ceftazidime,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,and minocycline remained below 8.1％.The percentage of B.cepacia strains resistant to levofloxacin was the highest compared to other antibiotics in any of the three age groups(from 12.4％in the patients＜18 years old to 20.6％in the patients aged 60 years or older).Conclusions B.cepacia is one of the clinically important non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria.Accurate and timely reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility test results and ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance are helpful for rational prescription of antimicrobial agents and proper prevention and control of nosocomial infections.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of da Vinci robot-assisted laparoscopic partial splenectomy (LPS).Methods:A retrospective review was conducted on 12 patients who underwent robot-assisted LPS for benign splenic lesions at the Department of General Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, between January 2021 and August 2024. Among the patients, 5 were males and 7 were females, aged 35(21, 58) years. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and other related indicators, as well as postoperative complications and follow-up conditions were reviewed.Results:Robot-assisted LPS was successfully performed in all patients, with no conversions to open surgery, achieving a 100% spleen preservation rate (12/12). The operative time was (168.92±44.64) min, and the intraoperative blood loss was 75 (50, 175) ml, with no intraoperative blood transfusions required. The duration of postoperative drainage tube placement was (3.92±1.44) d, and the postoperative hospital stay was (5.33±1.07) d. No complications, such as bleeding, surgical site effusion, or pancreatic fistula occurred in the 12 patients. Minimal pleural effusion was observed in four cases, which required no special treatment. All patients were followed up for at least 6 months. During the follow-up period, there were no occurrences of portal vein thrombosis, overwhelming post-splenectomy infection, recurrent thrombocytosis, or disease recurrence.Conclusion:Robot-assisted LPS is a safe and feasible surgical approach for benign splenic lesions, demonstrating favorable outcomes.
