This study investigated the prevalence and potential mechanisms of gentamicin heterore-sistance in Streptococcus isolates from dairy cows.In this study,A total of 39 Streptococcus isola-ted from raw milk were collected,and the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)of gentamicin and other drugs on the isolates was determined by micro broth dilution method,and the K-B paper diffusion method,colony analysis profile(PAP),and resistance stability test were used to investigate the heteroresistance characteristics of Streptococcus,and the mechanism of heteroresis-tance was analyzed based on whole genome sequencing and resequencing.Seven suspected heterore-sistance strains were identified by K-B paper diffusion method,accounting for 17.95％(7/39)of the total number of suspected strains.PAP confirmed that the MIC to MNIC ratio of L147,L108 and L174 was greater than 8,and the frequency of resistant subgroups ranged from 1.38×10-5 to 8.18 × 10-5,which was greater than 1 × 10-7,confirming that they were heteroresistance strains.Resistance stability tests revealed that the resistant subpopulations of all three strains were not stably inherited.Whole-genome sequencing revealed mutations in the ribosomal target genes of aminoglycoside antibiotics,rsmA,rsmB and rsmE,compared with the reference genome,which may lead to heteroresistance to gentamicin in Streptococcus.The occurrence of heteroresistance of Streptococcus to gentamicin is high in dairy sources,so more attention should be paid to the occur-rence of heteroresistance when using gentamicin for clinical treatment.

Objective:To translate Evidence-based Practice-knowledge, attitude, application, anticipated future use (EBP-KAPF) scale into Chinese, and evaluate its reliability and validity.Methods:The Chinese version of the EBP-KAPF scale was determined through translation, adaptation, recall, review and pre-investigation. From July to August 2022, 250 clinicians from 28 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) were selected by using the convenience sampling method. A self-made questionnaire was used to investigate the EBP-KAPF scale in Chinese to investigate the EBM ability of clinicians, including the basic information of the respondents, the learning and use of Evidence-based medicine courses and related software. The item analysis, validity and reliability evaluation of the Chinese version of the EBP-KAPF scale were performed.Results:The Chinese version of the EBP-KAPF scale included 26 items in four dimensions: knowledge mastery, attitude, personal application and future use. A total of 265 questionnaires were sent out (including self-made questionnaires and the Chinese version of the EBP-KAPF scale), and 250 effective questionnaires were obtained, with a total effective rate of 94.3%. The total score of the Chinese version of the EBP-KAPF scale was (102.85±17.48) points, and the scores of knowledge mastery, attitude, personal application and future use sub-scales were (27.22±4.47), (13.56±7.70), (20.07±6.78), and (42.00±9.00) points, respectively. Except for item 16, all items were correlated with the total score of the scale, and the correlation coefficient ranged from 0.456 to 0.828. After item 16 was deleted, the determination values of the remaining 25 items ranged from 4.287 to 18.262 ( P<0.001). After item was removed one by one, the Cronbach′s α coefficient of the scale ranged from 0.870 to 0.888. After item 16 was removed, the Chinese version of the 25-item EBP-KAPF scale had good content validity, structural validity and discriminant validity. The content validity index (I-CVI) at the item level ranged from 0.875 to 1.000, and the content validity index at the overall agreement scale level was 0.615. The average S-CVI values were 0.952, and the probability of correction ( K*) values were 0.87 to 1.00. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the structure fit was good [comparative fit index (CFI)=0.962, Tucker-Lewis index (TLI)=0.957, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA)=0.060, χ2/ df=1.889]. Discriminant validity analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the EBP-KAPF scores among clinicians of different ages, evidence-based medicine course learning and related software use ( P<0.05). After item 16 was removed, the Cronbach′s α coefficient of the Chinese version of the EBP-KAPF scale was 0.893, and the Guttman half coefficients of each dimension were 0.915, 0.901, 0.812 and 0.906, respectively. The correlation coefficients were 0.902-0.982, 0.507-0.953, 0.517-0.744 and 0.632-0.986, respectively. Conclusion:The Chinese version of the EBP-KAPF scale is simple, easy to understand, unambiguous, and has good validity and reliability.

Dental caries, trauma, and iatrogenic stimulation can cause damage to the dentin-pulp complex. Preserving the viable pulp and promoting damage repair of the dentin-pulp complex is of great clinical significance at present. In recent years, studies have found that various small molecular compounds can regulate inflammation, promote the migration, proliferation, and differentiation of dental pulp stem cells, promote blood vessel, nerve regeneration and other biological processes by regulating key intracellular signaling pathways and metabolic pathways, and could thereby promote damage repair of the dentin-pulp complex. The objective of this paper is to review recent research on various small molecular compounds used in promoting the repair of dentin-pulp complex.

Objective:To investigate the changes in myocardial enzyme spectrum, procalcitonin, and C-reactive protein levels in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia.Methods:A total of 150 neonates with hyperbilirubinemia who received treatment in the 1 st Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University during January-December 2019 were included in this study. They were allocated to mild (total bilirubin level 221-256.5 μmol/L, n = 68) and moderate-to-severe hyperbilirubinemia (total bilirubin level > 256.5 μmol/L, n = 82) groups according to different serum total bilirubin levels. An additional 70 healthy neonates who were born concurrently served as controls. Myocardial enzyme spectrum (creatine kinase, creatine kinase-MB, lactate dehydrogenase, alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase), procalcitonin, and C-reactive protein levels were compared among groups. The correlation between myocardial enzyme spectrum, procalcitonin, and C-reactive protein levels and the severity of hyperbilirubinemia was investigated. The factors related to hyperbilirubinemia in neonates were analyzed using logistic regression analysis. Results:Serum levels of creatine kinase, creatine kinase-MB, lactate dehydrogenase, and alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase were (1130.23 ± 385.42) U/L, (194.82 ± 60.33) U/L, (993.45 ± 271.46) U/L, and (493.76 ± 105.65) U/L, respectively in the moderate-to-severe hyperbilirubinemia group, which were significantly higher than those in the mild hyperbilirubinemia and control groups [(682.23 ± 258.53) U/L, (82.67 ± 24.43) U/L, (486.38 ± 112.57) U/L, (252.63 ± 38.73) U/L; (368.13 ± 104.20) U/L, (27.90 ± 8.29) U/L, (402.13 ± 102.20) U/L, (228.53 ± 34.30) U/L; F = 67.12, 56.23, 66.57, 44.34, all P < 0.01]. Serum levels of creatine kinase, creatine kinase-MB, lactate dehydrogenase, and alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase were significantly higher in the mild hyperbilirubinemia group than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). Premature infants, intrauterine distress, neonatal asphyxia, amniotic fluid pollution, sepsis, omphalitis, erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase defect, and delayed passage of meconium are the risk factors for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia ( OR = 6.13, 5.40, 5.29, 4.26, 7.79, 6.99, 5.79, 5.44, all P < 0.05). Breastfeeding is an independent protective factor for the development of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia ( OR = 5.87, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Myocardial enzyme, procalcitonin, and C-reactive protein levels increase in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia with the aggravation of the disease. Close monitoring of high-risk factors of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (including preterm infants, intrauterine distress, neonatal asphyxia, amniotic fluid pollution, sepsis, omphalitis, erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase defect, and delayed passage of meconium) and strengthening perinatal health care and high-risk pregnancy management can reduce the incidence of pathological jaundice.

Objective:To analyze the incidence and epidemiological characteristics of traumatic spinal cord injury in China in 2018.Methods:Multi-stage stratified cluster sampling was used to randomly select hospitals capable of treating patients with spinal cord injury from 3 regions，9 provinces and 27 cities in China to retrospectively investigate eligible patients with traumatic spinal cord injury admitted in 2018. National and regional incidence rates were calculated. The data of cause of injury，injury level，severity of injury，segment and type of fracture，complications，death and other data were collected by medical record questionnaire，and analyzed according to geographical region，age and gender.Results:Medical records of 4，134 patients were included in this study，with a male-to-female ratio of 2.99∶1. The incidence of traumatic spinal cord injury in China in 2018 was 50.484 / 1 million （95% CI 50.122-50.846）. The highest incidence in the Eastern region was 53.791 / 1 million （95% CI 53.217-54.365）. In the whole country，the main causes of injury were high falls （29.58%），as well as in the Western region （40.68%），while the main causes of injury in the Eastern and Central regions were traffic injuries （31.22%，30.10%）. The main injury level was cervical spinal cord in the whole country （64.49%），and the proportion of cervical spinal cord injury in the Central region was the highest （74.68%），and the proportion of lumbosacral spinal cord injury in the Western region was the highest （32.30%）. The highest proportion of degree of injury was incomplete quadriplegia （55.20%），and the distribution pattern was the same in each region. A total of 65.87% of the patients were complicated with fracture or dislocation，77.95% in the Western region and only 54.77% in the Central region. In the whole country，the head was the main combined injury （37.87%），as well as in the Eastern and Central regions，while the proportion of chest combined injury in the Western region was the highest （38.57%）. A total of 32.90% of the patients were complicated with respiratory complications. There were 23 patients （0.56%） died in hospital，of which 17（73.91%） died of respiratory dysfunction. Conclusions:The Eastern region of China has a high incidence of traumatic spinal cord injury. Other epidemiological features include high fall as the main cause of injury cervical spinal cord injury as the main injury level，incomplete quadriplegia as the main degree of injury，head as the main combined injury，and respiratory complications as the main complication.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the level of cystatin C (Cys C) and different body mass index (BMI) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods The clinical data of 160 patients with T2DM was retrospectively analyzed.They were divided into normal weight (NW) group (n =88),over weight (OW) group (n =42) and obesity (OB) group (n =30).NW and OB were defined as BMI ＜ 25 kg/m2 and BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2 according to the WHO-Western Pacific Region diagnostic set forth in 2000.The basic clinical data and biochemical indexes of all the subjects were collected.Spearman correlation analysis and Logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate the influencing factors for the different BMI in T2DM.Results Compared with T2DM-NW group,the level of serum Cys C was significantly increased in T2DM-OW group and T2DM-OB group,and Cys C in T2DM-OB group was significantly higher than T2DM-OW group (P ＜0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).T2DM-NW/OW/OB was positively correlated with BMI,hypertension,ALT,AST,TC,TG,LDL-C,ApoB and Cys C (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that ALT,TG,LDL-C and Cys C were the independent risk factors for T2DM with OW/OB (P＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion With increasing of BMI in T2DM,serum Cys C level gradually increase.It suggests that the increased Cys C maybe play an important role in the pathogenesis of the different BMI in T2DM.
