Objective This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacterial strains isolated from pediatric intensive care units(PICU)in China for better antimicrobial therapy.Methods Clinical isolates were collected from 17 institutions,including tertiary care children's hospitals and pediatric department of tertiary general hospitals in China from January 1,2020 to December 31,2022.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out according to a unified protocol using Kirby-Bauer method or automated systems.Results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2020.Results A total of 10 688 isolates were collected,including gram-positive organisms(39.2％)and gram-negative organisms(60.8％).The top three organisms were S.aureus(13.6％,1 453/10 688),A.baumannii(10.0％,1 067/10 688),and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(9.9％,1 058/10 688).Multi-drug resistant organisms(MDROs)were very common in children.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA),carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE),carbapenem-resistant E.coli,carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae(CRKP),carbapenem-resistant A.baumannii(CRAB),and carbapenem-resistant P.aeruginosa(CRPA)was 41.1％,19.4％,8.8％,30.9％,67.4％,and 28.8％,respectively.Overall,more than 50％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to cephalosporins,while nearly 25％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to carbapenems.MDROs were highly resistant to commonly used antibiotics.More than 80％of CRE and CRAB strains were resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics.CRE and CRAB showed low resistance rates to tigecycline and polymyxin.CRPA showed lower resistance rates to piperacillin,beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations than the resistance rates to third and fourth generation cephalosporins.All of the Staphylococcus and Enterococcus isolates were susceptible to vancomycin and tigecycline.None of PRSP strains isolated from meningitis and nonmeningitis samples were resistant to rifampicin,vancomycin,or linezolid.The prevalence of β-lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant(BLNAR)strains was 43.3％in Haemophilus influenzae.Conclusions MDROs were prevalent in PICU.It is necessary to establish an effective multidisciplinary team(MDT)to control the antimicrobial resistance.

Objective:To explore the expression of transmembrane protein 9(TMEM9)as an oncogene in prostate cancer(PCa),and to examine its effect on the proliferation and invasion of PCa cells as well as on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and autophagy of PCa cells by intervening with its expression.Methods:The Cancer Genome Atlas was used for pan-cancer analysis of TMEM9 expres-sion levels in different tumors,and TMEM9 protein and messenger ribonucleic acid(mRNA)levels in clinical PCa and prostatic hyper-plasia specimens were analyzed.Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting were used to analyze TMEM9 expression levels in different PCa cell lines.Cell counting,terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL),and Transwell assay were used to analyze cell proliferation,apoptosis,and PCa cell invasion,respectively.Subcutaneous tu-morigenesis in nude mice was used to analyze tumor proliferation in vivo.Western blotting was used to analyze the expression of autophagy-related pathway proteins,and transmission electron microscopy and immunofluorescence colocalization were used to deter-mine the colocalization of autophagosomes and lysosomes.Results:TMEM9 was highly expressed in PCa.The mRNA and protein ex-pression levels of TMEM9 were higher in PCa tissues than in prostatic hyperplasia tissues.The expression of TMEM9 was highest in PC3 cells(human PCa cells)(t=17.150,P<0.01).In TMEM9-knocked down PC3 cells,the proliferation(t=3.165,P<0.05)and inva-sion(F=76.620,P<0.01)significantly decreased,and apoptosis(t=13.530,P=0.010)significantly increased.After knockdown of TMEM9,the volume(F=1 699.000,P<0.01)and weight(t=9.057,P<0.01)of subcutaneous tumors in nude mice were reduced,and tu-mor growth was inhibited.TMEM9 regulated the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and inhibited the AKT-mTOR signaling pathway to promote autophagy in PCa cells.Conclusion:TMEM9 inhibits the AKT-mTOR signaling pathway and promotes the proliferation and invasion of PCa cells through autophagy.

A 66-year-old male patient with anxiety and depression received lorazepam 1 mg twice daily and buspirone 10 mg twice daily. Two months later, the patient developed chills, fever, drowsiness, and stiffness of limbs, etc. Laboratory tests showed white blood cell count 13.5×10 9/L, neutrophils 0.89, C-reactive protein 68.7 mg/L, serum creatinine 211 mmol/L, direct bilirubin 10.3 mmol/L, alanine aminotransferase 96 U/L, aspartate aminotransferase 121 U/L, creatine kinase (CK) 4 557 U/L, CK-MB 83 U/L, lactate dehydrogenase 462 U/L, α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase 339 U/L, and troponin 116 ng/L. Malignant syndrome caused by buspirone was considered. The drug was stopped, lorazepam was continued, and oxygen inhalation, ECG monitoring, physical cooling, anti-infection, and other treatments were given. The patient still had fever and developed deep coma, with brown urine and myoglobin >3 000 mg/L. Secondary rhabdomyolysis was considered. Anti-infection treatment was continued and treatments such as correcting electrolyte balance, alkalizing urine, and diuresis were given. On the 10th day of drug withdrawal, the patient had normal limb activity and urine color, his creatine kinase was 246 U/L, and myoglobin was 856 mg/L. One month later, the laboratory tests showed no obvious abnormalities and no malignant syndrome releted symptoms recurred. The rhabdomyolysis secondary to malignant syndrome in the patient was considered to be possibly related to buspiron and the combination with lorazepam might promote its occurrence.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of damage control neurosurgery (DCNS) on patients with bilateral frontal contusion.Methods Thirty-three patients with bilateral frontal contusion,admitted to and accepted DCNS in our hospital from September 2017 to January 2019,were chosen in our study.According to DCNS rules,the disease condition changes of these patients were monitored,the internal environment disorders after trauma were adjusted,plasma osmotic pressure was increased,and blood oxygen saturation was maintained;once the patients grew worse,craniotomy and decompression should be undertaken immediately;the patients were followed up for 6 months after the injury and Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) was used to determine the prognoses of these patients.Results Among the 33 patients,25 (76％) received conservative treatment successfully,8 (24％) were converted to surgery during conservative treatment.Among the 8 patients,5 received unilateral craniotomy and three received bilateral craniotomy.The lower the Glasgow coma scale scores,the lower the proportion of conservative patients.GOS 6 months after injury showed good recovery in 11 patients,mild disability in 16 patients,severe disability in 4 patients,and plant survival in two patients;22 patients from the conservative treatment group and 5 from the surgery group had good recovery or mild disability.Conclusion DCNS can reduce the operation rate and its complications so as to make the patients recover earlier and better in the treatment of bilateral frontal contusion.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness in optimizing resources and shortening critical children′s waiting time in pediatric emergency department (PED) with five-level pediatric emergency triage system (PETS). Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University after PETS was applied. The data of patients who visited the pediatric emergency department from January 2015 to December 2017 were collected and analyzed, including age, sex, diseases, visiting time, triage rate and destination. Results: A total of 375 985 patients were included, among whom males were 225 308 (59.9%) and females were 150 677 (40.1%), all younger than 14 years of age. The number of critical cases (level Ⅰ, level Ⅱ and level Ⅲ) was increased from 4 719 (3.7%) in 2015, 12 209 (10.2%) in 2016 to 16 188 (12.7%) in 2017. The number of non-critical patients (level Ⅴ) decreased year by year, as from 98 213 (76.8%) in 2015 to 75 210 (62.6%) in 2016 and 78 857 (61.7%) in 2017. The patients who classified as level Ⅰ or levelⅡaccording to the PETS were seen immediately by physician (n=1855, 0.5%). Overall, 119 738 patients (98.3%) who were classified as level Ⅲ or level Ⅳ could be seen by physician in a timely manner according to triage guidelines, while 2 112 patients (1.7%) could not. The mean waiting time was 9.09 min in level Ⅲ, 17.7 min in level Ⅳ, and 55.76 min in level Ⅴ patients, respectively. The critical cases admitted to the intensive care units were 175 (36.2%) in 2015, 350 (62.8%) in 2016 and 374 (66.2%) in 2017. The etiologies were respiratory diseases (73.3%), gastrointestinal diseases (15.8%) and infectious diseases (3.1%). Conclusion The application of PETS could optimize emergency resources and shorten the waiting time of critically ill children.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical application of antimicrobial agents and give corresponding analysis.METHODS Totally 1453 cases from Dec 2005 to Jan 2006 were investigated retrospectively according to questionaire,and the usage of antibiotics was analyzed according to the standards.RESULTS Among 1453 cases,1155 cases used antibiotic and accounted for 79.5%,of which 47.3% cases were for single-drug therapy,44.1% cases for dual-drug therapy,7.4% cases were for tri-drug therapy and 1.2% cases for more than four kinds drugs.The top five departments in usage amount of antibiotics were stomatology,burn,surgery,pediatrics and respiratory departments.The most common antibiotics were cephalosporins,nitromidazole and catastaltica containing enzymes.The main irrational application of antibiotics included medication without indication,using high standard medicine and illogicality course of treatment and so on.CONCLUSIONS The application of antibiotics in internal medicine still has some irrational phenomenon,therefore,the training of correlated knowledge and regulations should be strengthened.
