Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of proximal femoral nail antirotation(PFNA)assisted by robot navigation and PFNA guided by C-arm X-ray machine for the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture of femur(IFOF).Methods The 100 patients with unilateral IFOF in our hospital were selected as the study subjects.They were divided into the control group(50 cases)and the robot-assisted group(50 cases)according to random number table method.The control group was treated with PFNA internal fixation under C-arm X-ray machine fluoroscopy,and the robot-assisted group was treated with PFNA internal fixation assisted by robot navigation.Surgical indicators,fracture reduction and fracture healing,stress response indexes,hip joint function,quality of life score and incidence of surgery related complications were compared between the two groups.Results The operation time,total fluoroscopy time,nail placement time and fracture healing time of the robot-assisted group were shorter than those of the control group(P＜0.05);and the intraoperative blood loss,guide needle adjustment frequency,and fluoroscopy frequency of the robot-assisted group were less than those of the control group(P＜0.05).The fracture reduction and fracture healing in the robot-assisted group were better than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Two days after operation,the levels of serum norepinephrine(NE),angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)in the two groups were higher than those before operation(P＜0.05),and the levels of serum NE,Ang Ⅱ and SOD in the robot-assisted group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The Harris score and 36-item short-form(SF-36)score of patients 7 days and 3 months after surgery in the two groups were higher than those before surgery(P＜0.05),and the above scores 3 months after surgery were higher than those 7 days after surgery(P＜0.05).Harris score and SF-36 score 7 days and 3 months after operation in the robot-assisted group were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The incidence of complications in the robot-assisted group was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with the C-arm X-ray machine fluoroscopy,the treatment of IFOF with PFNA assisted by robot navigation can further shorten the operation time,reduce the surgical trauma and the incidence of complications,achieve better effect of fracture reduction and healing,reduce stress response of the body,and improve hip joint function and quality of life for patients.

This study investigated the characteristics of gut microbiota imbalance in patients with infectious diarrhea caused by various pathogenic infections,and the role of Bacteroides in maintaining homeostasis in the intestinal environment.The gut microbiota in patients with diarrhea caused by pathogenic infections,such as viral and bacterial infections,was determined through full-length 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing.Patients with diarrhea were grouped and analyzed according to the presence of single bacterial infection,single viral infection,mixed infection,or Clostridioides difficile infection.Bacteroides had the highest absolute number and relative abundance in the gut microbiota in healthy people,whereas patients with infectious diar-rhea showed lower relative abundance of Bacteroides at each phylum/order/family/genus taxonomic level.Alpha diversity anal-ysis indicated no significant differences among groups.NMDS and PCoA indicated formation of distinct clusters in the control group compared with the different infectious diarrhea groups.The diversity of the gut microbiota was higher in the control group than the infectious diarrhea groups.Patients with infec-tious diarrhea caused by different pathogens showed differing predominant gut microbiota.Bifidobacterium predominated in the single viral infection group,Streptococcus predominated in the single bacterial infection group,and Lachnoclostridium predominated in the mixed infection group.Escherichia and Klebsiella were the major gut microbiota in the C.difficile infection group.Meanwhile,the dominant gut microbiota in the healthy population was Bacteroides.COG function prediction revealed that the healthy control group formed a distinct cluster from the different infection groups.The functions of defense mechanisms,cell wall synthesis,protein modification,cellular differentiation,and replication and recombination were signifi-cantly diminished in all infectious diarrhea groups.In general,patients with infectious diarrhea caused by different pathogens showed dysbiosis,with diminished gut microbiota diversity and the emergence of related biomarkers.Our findings indicated that Bacteroides has a key role in maintaining the homeostasis of the human intestinal environment,thus providing new ideas for the subsequent treatment of infectious diarrhea and research in other fields.

Objective:To investigate the effects of PD-1 monoclonal antibody therapy on the peripheral and local immune microenvironment of patients with microsatellite instability-high(MSI-H)rectal cancer.Methods:Samples of peripheral blood and tumor biopsy were collected from a patient with MSI-H rectal cancer before and after PD-1 monoclonal antibody treatment.The samples were dissociated into single-cell suspensions using a combination of enzymatic and mechanical methods.Immune-related marker expression on peripheral and tumor-infiltrating im-mune cells was analyzed using single-cell mass cytometry(CyTOF).Results:According to the results of CyTOF analysis,CD45+immune cells in the peripheral blood and tumor tissues were categorized into 39 and 34 cell subsets,respectively,before and after PD-1 monoclonal antibody treatment(the correlation is unclear and ambiguous).After PD-1 monoclonal antibody treatment,differences were observed in the relative abundance of immune cell subsets:B cells significantly decreased in the peripheral blood,while B cells and γδT cells significantly increased in the tumor tissue;neutrophils significantly decreased,and the proportion of CD4+TEM cells in T cell subsets significantly increased,whereas CD4+Treg cells significantly decreased.Additionally,there were differences in the expression of immune-related markers in multiple immune cell subsets in both peripheral blood and tumor tissues,with CCR6 showing a significant increase in expression across all subsets,while ICOS and PD-1 expressions in T cell subsets were significantly reduced(the specific tissues for these cells or factors are unclear).Conclusion:After PD-1 monoclonal antibody treatment in MSI-H rectal cancer,changes occurred in the composition of immune cells and the expression of immune-related markers in both peripheral blood and tumor tissues.This study reveals the dynamic adjustment of the immune microenvironment and provides important evidence for understanding the therapeutic mechanism of PD-1 monoclonal antibodies.

Objective To explore the efficacy and influencing factors of polyethylene glycol interferon α-2b(Peg-IFNα-2b)combined nucleoside analogues(NAs)in the treatment of hepatitis B virus e-antigen(HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B(CHB)patients who had received NAs treatment,and evaluate the correlation of mononucleotide polymorphisms of interleukin-28B and programmed death receptor-1(PD-1)with interferon treatment response.Methods HBeAg-negative CHB patients who visited Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2020 to December 2022 were analyzed retrospectively.Patients with Peg-IFNα-2b and NAs treatment were as the study group,while those with NAs therapy alone as the control group.Clinical efficacy of two groups of patients at the 12nd,24th,and 48th weeks of treatment,as well as the persistent response and recurrence at the 72nd week were analyzed.PD-1 and IL-28B single nucleotide polymorphisms were adopted to evaluate the value of HBeAg-nega-tive CHB patients in response to interferon treatment.Results At the 48th week of treatment,the response rate of HBeAg-negative CHB patients in the study group was higher than that in the control group(52.05％[38/73]vs 1.64％[1/61],P＜0.05).Among HBeAg-negative CHB patients in the study group,response rates at 48th week of treatment in patients with baseline HBsAg＜100 IU/mL and HBsAg＜1 000 IU/mL were higher than those with HBsAg≥1 000 IU/mL,respectively(both P＜0.05).Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that in HBeAg-negative CHB patients in the study group,the baseline HBsAg levels(OR=1.004,95％CI:1.001-1.006)and HBsAg decline magnitude at the 24th week of treatment(OR=0.111,95％CI:0.034-0.362)were influencing factors for the response of interferon treatment combined with NAs(both P＜0.05).The results of single nucleo-tide polymorphism analysis showed that in HBeAg-negative CHB patients in the study group,the proportion of PD-1 rs10204525 C/T heterozygous mutation in the response population was higher(66.67％vs 16.67％,P＜0.05),while that of IL-28B mutation was not significantly different(P＞0.05).Conclusion Combined treatment with Peg-IFNa-2b can achieve higher HBsAg clearance rate and serological conversion rate in HBeAg-negative CHB patients who had received NAs treatment.HBsAg decline magnitude at the 24th week of treatment can better pre-dict the response at the 48th week of treatment.Patients with low baseline HBsAg level and those carrying PD-1 rs10204525C/T heterozygous mutation gene present better therapeutic effect after receiving Peg-IFNa-2b.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility of clinically isolated bacteria from intensive care units(ICUs)in hospitals of Hunan Province Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System from 2012 to 2021.Methods According to China Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System,data of clinically isolated bacterial strains and antimicrobial susceptibility testing results of bacteria from ICUs reported by all member units of Hunan Province Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System were analyzed with WHONET 2022 software.Results From 2012 to 2021,the total number of bacteria isolated from ICUs of member units of the Hunan Province Antimi-crobial Resistance Surveillance System was 5 777-22 369,with Gram-negative bacteria accounting for 76.1％-78.0％annually.Staphylococcus aureus ranked first among isolated Gram-positive bacteria each year.The top 5 bacteria among Gram-negative bacteria were Acinetobacter baumannii,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Escherichia coli,Pseudo-monas aeruginosa,and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.Detection rate of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus showed a downward trend year by year.No Staphylococcus spp.were found to be resistant to vancomycin,teico-planin and linezolid.Detection rates of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis and vancomycin-resistant Entero-coccus faecium were 0.6-1.1％and 0.6％-2.2％,respectively.Resistance rates of Escherichia coli and Kleb-siella pneumoniae to imipenem were 3.1％-5.7％and 7.7％-20.9％,respectively.Resistance rates of Pseudo-monasaeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii to imipenem were 24.6％-40.1％and 76.1％-80.9％,respective-ly.Detection rates of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa declined year by year.Acinetobacter baumannii maintained high susceptibility to polymyxin B,with resistance rate＜10％.Conclusion Antimicrobial resistance of bacteria from ICUs is serious.Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriales has an upward trend after 2019.It is nece-ssary to strengthen the surveillance of bacterial resistance and carry out multidisciplinary collaboration.

In recent years,the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)infection has become a global public health issue.Ceftazidime/avibactam(CAZ/AVI)has been approved as a novel antimicrobial agent for the treatment of healthcare-associated pneumonia/ventilator-associated pneumonia,bloodstream infection,infection after kidney transplantation,and severe infection combined with liver cirrhosis.However,the use of CAZ/AVI has also led to the emergence of drug-resistant strains.The major mechanisms of drug-resistance include over-expression of blaKPC gene,mutation of β-lactamase and amino acids at key sites,changes in cell permeability caused by loss of membrane porin,and over-expression of efflux pump.This article reviews the research progress of CAZ/AVI in the treatment of CRKP infection,providing reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Immmunosuppressants are mainly used to reduce rejection after solid organ transplantation,so as to improve the success rate of organ transplantation.However,long-term use of immunosuppressants can also serious-ly impair the immune function of patients,thereby increasing the risk of viral infection and postoperative complica-tions,leading to transplant failure.Therefore,patients need to use both immunosuppressants and antiviral agents.If some immunosuppressants with antiviral effects are found,the patient's burden of taking medicines will be greatly reduced.Currently,the immunosuppressants with antiviral effect have been focused by researchers.The gradual re-vealing of the antiviral mechanism of these immunosuppressants will help to optimize the treatment plan of postope-rative rehabilitation of organ transplant recipients.Based on the mechanism of rejection of transplanted organ,this paper systematically describes the types of viruses which closely related to infection of organ transplant patients and the molecular mechanism of some immunosuppressants in antiviral aspects,which further provides a new idea for clinical prevention and treatment of viral infection due to organ transplantation.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)has become one of the effective methods for treating patients with aortic valve disease.With the continuous maturity of technology,innovation of instruments and increasing experience,the indications for TAVR has been expanded.Following international trends,the number of TAVR in China has steadily increased with each passing year.In 2023,the long-term follow-up results of TAVR in low-risk AS patients further confirm the long-term benefits of TAVR.The relevant research on TAVR for patients with aortic regurgitation and patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis provide evidence support for the expansion of TAVR indications.At the same time,the development of valve devices and new technological innovations are emerging in an endless stream,and the new concept of full life cycle management is increasingly being valued.Especially in China,the development of local devices is progressing rapidly,and multiple devices have entered the clinical research stage.The clinical manifestations and research results are worth pursuing.
