Objective To investigate the changing prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE)in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from 2017 to 2021.Methods Relevant CRE data in hospitals across Xinjiang from 2017 to 2021 were summarized according to the unified protocol of the National Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network.The data were statistically analyzed by WHONET 5.6 software.Results A total of 5 071 CRE strains were identified from 165 786 strains of Enterobacterales in Xinjiang in the five-year period.The prevalence of CRE was 2.8％in 2017,3.2％in 2018,2.9％in 2019,3.1％in 2020,and 3.2％in 2021.The highest prevalence(3.3％)was in northern Xinjiang and the lowest prevalence(0)was in eastern Xinjiang.The prevalence of CRE in tertiary hospitals was higher than that in secondary hospitals.The top three species among the 5 071 CRE strains were carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae,carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli,and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae.The CRE strains were mainly isolated from the patients in ICU(34.6％),respiratory ICU(8.1％),neurosurgery(7.5％),and respiratory medicine(5.2％).The distribution of CRE species varied with patient age and gender.The carbapenem-susceptible Enterobacterales and CRE strains isolated from children were less resistant to the commonly used antibiotics in clinical practice than the corresponding strains isolated from adult patients.Conclusions The prevalent CRE strains from patients in Xinjiang are still serious.It is necessary to strengthen the surveillance of bacterial resistance and carry out multidisciplinary linkage to curb the spread and outbreak of CRE.

Objective:To observe the therapeutic effects of electroacupuncture(EA)stimulation on chronic pain and associated negative emotions,and to investigate the activity changes of glutamatergic neurons in the primary motor cortex(M1)following EA stimulation.Methods:Male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups:sham surgery(Sham),pure electroacupuncture stimulation(EA),nerve injury(SNI)and electroacupuncture treatment of nerve injury(SNI+EA).Thirty days after the SNI model establishment,EA stimulation was administered bilaterally to the Zusanli(ST36)acupoints in mice.von Frey filaments and Hargreaves heat sensitivity testing were used to detect mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia.The elevated plus maze test was conducted to assess the impact on anxiety-like behaviors in mice.Dual immunofluorescence staining was employed to observe changes in c-Fos expression in M1 gluta-matergic neurons.Results:As compared to Sham group,SNI-treated mice exhibited significant mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia in bilateral hindpaws at 30 days post-modeling(P＜0.01)and displayed obvious anxiety-like behaviors(P＜0.01).The SNI+EA group showed significant relief in pain and anxiety-like behaviors(P＜0.01).c-Fos expression in M1 glutamatergic neurons was significantly decreased in SNI mice.Conversely,after electroacupuncture(EA)treatment,compared to the SNI group,M1 glutamatergic neurons in the SNI+EA group showed significantly in-creased c-Fos expression(P＜0.01).Conclusion:Electroacupuncture significantly alleviated chronic pain and associ-ated anxiety-like behaviors induced by SNI,which might involve the activation of glutamatergic neurons in the M1 in this process.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide,with atherosclerosis(AS)-its core pathological manifestation-representing a multifactorial-driven chronic inflammatory disorder.The pathogenesis of AS involves intricate pathological mechanisms including dyslipidemia,inflammatory cascades,and plaque vulnerability,whose complexity necessitates animal models capable of accurately recapitulating specific pathological features.Genetically engineered murine models have emerged as pivotal tools for deciphering AS mechanisms,owing to their genetic manipulability,phenotypic traceability,and molecular conservation with human pathophysiology.This review provides a systematic overview of current methodologies for establishing AS mouse models,with particular emphasis on evaluating the pathological fidelity of dietary induction approaches,genetic modification strategies[notably apolipoprotein E(ApoE)-/-and low density lipoproteins receptor(LDLr)-/-models],and physical injury paradigms.

Background and Aims:Portal hypertensive colopathy(PHC)is a common complication of portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis.It may lead to gastrointestinal bleeding,yet its underlying pathogenesis remains unclear,and systematic research in China is limited.This study aimed to analyze the colonoscopic features in cirrhotic patients and to explore their associations with relevant clinical factors.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 99 cirrhotic patients who underwent colonoscopy at Xingtai People's Hospital between July 2020 and December 2024.Colonoscopy,gastroscopy,and clinical data were reviewed.Differences between patients with PHC and those without were compared in terms of sex,Child-Pugh classification,platelet count,presence of ascites,and hepatic encephalopathy.Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors for PHC.Additionally,colorectal lesion detection rates were compared with those of a contemporaneous cohort of 444 participants undergoing national colorectal cancer(CRC)screening at the same center.Results:Among the 105 patients with cirrhosis,the detection rates of PHC,adenomatous polyps,and CRC were 32.32%,28.28%,and 3.03%,respectively,while only 37.37%had no abnormal findings.No serious colonoscopy-related complications were observed.The proportion of males in the PHC group was significantly higher than in the non-PHC group(78.13%vs.50.75%,P=0.009).The PHC group also showed significantly higher rates of Child-Pugh class B/C,and lower platelet count(all P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of ascites and hepatic encephalopathy between the two groups(P>0.05).Multivariate analysis identified that male gender(OR=3.307,95%CI=1.219-8.971)and Child-Pugh class B/C(OR=2.867,95%CI=1.046-7.861)were independent risk factors for PHC.Compared to the CRC screening cohort,cirrhotic patients had a similar adenoma detection rate(28.28%vs.25.00%,P=0.499),and a slightly higher colorectal cancer detection rate that did not reach statistical significance(3.03%vs.0.68%,P=0.135).Conclusion:Colonoscopy revealed a high rate of abnormalities in cirrhotic patients,with PHC and adenomatous polyps being the most common findings.Routine colonoscopy is recommended for cirrhotic patients without contraindications,especially males,and patients with Child-Pugh class B/C,to facilitate early detection of PHC and precancerous lesions,thereby reducing the risk of lower gastrointestinal bleeding and missed diagnoses of malignancy.

Objective To analyze the correlation between the Patellotrochlear index at different knee flexion angles and recurrent patellar dislocation,and to find the optimal knee flexion angle and the best diagnostic cut-off value for predicting recurrent patellar dislocation.Methods A total of 35 patients clinically diagnosed with recurrent patellar dislocation(study group)were selected.The lengths of the central sagittal plane of the patellar cartilage and the corresponding femoral trochlear cartilage were measured at knee flexion angles ranging from 0° to 70°,in 10° increments.The Patellotrochlear index was calculated and compared with the MRI data from 55 healthy volunteers(control group).Results The Patellotrochlear index in the study group and the control group showed a positive correlation with the knee flexion angle(r=0.935 and 0.909,P＜0.001).Statistically significant differences were found between the two groups at knee flexion angles of 0°,10°,20°,30°,and 40°(t=7.480,5.742,5.200,3.558,4.271,P＜0.05).The predictive efficacy of the Patellotrochlear index for recurrent patellar dislocation varied at different knee flexion angles,with the area under the curve(AUC)and the best diagnostic cut-off values of 0.891,0.834,0.778,0.710,0.741 and 0.195,0.323,0.486,0.606,0.712,respectively.Conclusion There are significant differences in the Patellotrochlear index at different knee flexion angles.A knee flexion angle of 0° is the optimal knee flexion angle for the Patellotrochlear index to predict recurrent patellar dislocation,with a recommended best diagnostic cut-off value of 0.195.
