Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics, treatment strategies, and prognostic outcomes of patients infected with Listeria monocytogenes, thereby providing evidence-based insights for the prevention and control of this disease.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data, diagnostic tests, treatment protocols, and prognostic outcomes of patients definitively diagnosed with Listeria monocytogenes infection at Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital over the past decade. Additionally, a comprehensive literature review was conducted, encompassing studies published between 2014 and 2024, sourced from CNKI, Wanfang Data, and PubMed. This review focused on summarizing the clinical features, treatment regimens, and prognostic outcomes of patients with Listeria monocytogenes infection.Results:The study cohort comprised 17 patients, with a mean age of (61.29 ± 16.24) years. The confirmed cases included 7 cases of bloodstream infections, 3 cases of central nervous system infections, and 7 cases of combined infections. Sepsis developed in 9 patients. The average time from symptom onset to the initiation of empirical antibiotic therapy was 72 hours, while the mean time to definitive diagnosis was 102 hours. Antimicrobial regimens predominantly featured penicillins, meropenem, and vancomycin. The average hospitalization duration was 16 days, with 9 patients experiencing adverse outcomes. A total of 78 relevant literature pieces were retrieved, encompassing data from 85 patients. The average age of these patients was (57.96 ± 16.48) years. Primary diagnostic methods relied on blood/cerebrospinal fluid cultures and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). Treatment regimens primarily involved antibiotics such as penicillins, aminoglycosides, carbapenems, and glycopeptides. Despite these interventions, the proportion of patients with poor prognosis remained significantly high at 30.6% (26/85). Logistic regression analysis identified sepsis and delayed antibiotic administration as independent predictors of poor prognosis.Conclusions:Listeriosis, caused by an opportunistic pathogen, necessitates early antibiotic administration and timely identification of at-risk populations to mitigate the risk of poor prognostic outcomes in patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of whole-course empowerment health intervention on the psychological resilience and self-care ability of older patients with severe pneumonia.Methods A total of 210 older patients with severe pneumonia admitted to Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital between January 2020 and December 2023 were enrolled.The patients were sequentially numbered according to the order of admission.Then,they were assigned to a conventional care group(105 cases)and a whole-course empowerment group(105 cases)by a 1∶1 ratio using a random number table.The conventional care group received conventional clinical intervention,while the whole-course empowerment group received the whole-course empowerment health intervention regimen in addition to the intervention administered in the conventional care group.Psychological resilience was assessed with the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale(CD-RISC),self-care ability with Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale(ESCA),and quality of life with the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Version(WHOQOL-BREF).The evaluation results obtained before and after the interventions were compared.Results After intervention,the scores for all dimensions of CD-RISC in the whole-course empowerment group were higher than those in the conventional care group(t=10.326,P＜0.001;t=6.386,P＜0.001;t=9.581,P＜0.001).The scores for all dimensions of ESCA after intervention were higher in whole-course empowerment group than those in the conventional care group(t=1 1.599,P＜0.001;t=9.072,P＜0.001;t=4.353,P＜0.001;t=16.646,P＜0.001).After intervention,the scores for all dimensions of WHOQOL-BREF in the whole-course empowerment group were higher than those in the conventional care group(t=9.164,P＜0.001;t=13.809,P＜0.001;t=5.001,P＜0.001;t=6.695,P＜0.001).Conclusion Whole-course empowerment health intervention significantly enhances psychological resilience,self-care capacity,and quality of life in older patients with severe pneumonia.

Objective To retrospectively investigate the disease spectrum of inpatients aged over 65 year and cost constitution in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital from 2010 to 2014,so as to provide baseline data for further study.Methods The inpatients'disease spectrum and costs were collected from hospital information system.The diseases were classified according to the International Classification of Diseases(ICD-10).The data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 software.Results The total number of old inpatients was 111,935,and male (55.2 ％) was more than female (44.8 ％).The average age was (74.5 ±6.8)years.The top four systematic diseases of primary diagnosis were circulatory system disease (21.0 ％),respiratory system disease (13.7 ％),digestive system disease (12.7％)and neoplasms (12.1％).The total number of male inpatients was more than the female inpatients.The average cost per capita was increased from (￥)18,778.1 yuan to (￥)23,391.9 yuan since 2010.The proportion of all costs accounted for by drugs in elderly inpatients was decreased from 45.5％ to 38.9％ since 2010.Nosocomial infection was decreased from 3.19％ to 0.16％ since 2010.Conclusions The number of elderly inpatients are more in male than in female in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital from 2010 to 2014.The most common systematic disease is circulatory system diseases,and followed by respiratory system diseases,digestive system diseases and neoplasms.The proportion of all expenditures accounted for by drugs was declined in five years,while the average cost per capita is increased.
