Salmonella enterica serovar Goldcoast isolates from Yangzhou were analyzed for assessment of their pathogenic and ge-nomic characteristics.From 2017 to 2023,eight strains were detected through foodborne disease surveillance and health check-ups.These strains exhibited resistance to two to seven antibiotic classes,and all strains bore a T57S mutation in the parC gene.Notably,50％(4/8)of the strains carried sulfonamide resistance genes(sul1 or sul3),and 37.5％(3/8)were positive for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase(ESBL)genes,including blaCTX-M-55 and blaTEM-1.Multilocus sequence typing(MLST)revealed that ST358(five strains)and ST2529(three strains)were the predominant sequence types,corresponding to CRISPR Ⅰ and Ⅱ groups,respectively.Single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)phylogenetic analysis indicated a close genetic relationship between the case isolate Sal-2214 and strains from multiple regions,with a SNP difference≤20,thus suggesting potential inter-regional transmission.For example,one isolate from the stool of a 4-year-old child with diarrhea(Sal-2214)carried the beta-lactam resistance gene(blaCTX-M-55)and exhib-ited high resistance to cefotaxime(CTX)and ceftazidime(CAZ).These findings indicated that S.enterica Goldcoast emerged in Yang-zhou from 2022,and was characterized by multidrug resistance and a genetic relationship with strains from coastal regions.These find-ings highlight the need for enhanced resistance monitoring and trace-back studies to better understand the epidemiology and control the potential spread of this pathogen.

Forensic medicine has been designated as a first-level discipline,presenting new opportunities and challenges for the development of forensic medicine.Since the 1980s,the establishment of foren-sic medicine discipline and the cultivation of high-level forensic talents have become hot topics in the development of forensic medicine in China.Since the 13th Five-Year Plan,the forensic team of Shanxi Medical University has been aiming at the forefront,proposing the development goals of"Five First-class"and the discipline development path"Six Major Achievements".It has selected benchmark disci-plines,identified gaps in disciplinary development,unified thoughts,formulated completion timelines,concentrated superior resources,assigned tasks to individuals,and created an"Organized Fill-in-the-Blank Format"forensic medicine discipline construction model with the characteristics of the new era.The construction model of forensic medicine has achieved good results in the goals,discipline frame-work,scientific research,talent cultivation,discipline team and platform construction,forming a rela-tively complete discipline construction and management system,and accumulating valuable experience for the construction of first-level discipline and high-level talent cultivation of forensic medicine.

Objective To analyze the serum metabolomic changes of preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)at postmenstrual age(PMA)36 weeks,screen potential biomarkers and associated metabolic pathways,and assess their relationship with short-term respiratory outcomes.Methods A retrospective case-control study was conducted.Infants with gestational age 28-32 weeks admitted to the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from January to December 2024 were included.Twenty infants with BPD and 20 gestational age-,birth weight-,and sex-matched non-BPD preterm infants were included.Serum collected at PMA 36 weeks was subjected to untargeted metabolomics analysis,and associations with short-term respiratory outcomes were analyzed.Results Thirteen potential biomarkers distinguishing BPD were identified(area under the curve>0.75,P<0.05).Eight biomarkers—including terephthalic acid,phosphatidylinositol,fumarate,and lysophosphatidic acid—were significantly upregulated(FC≥1.5),while five biomarkers,such as 7α-hydroxy-3-oxo-4-cholestenoate ester and phosphatidylcholine,were significantly downregulated(FC≤1/1.5).Pathway analysis indicated five pathways associated with BPD,including glycerophospholipid metabolism and phenylalanine metabolism.Dysregulation of glycerophospholipid and bile acid metabolism may affect adverse short-term respiratory outcomes in infants with BPD.Conclusions The 13 significantly different metabolites may serve as biomarkers for the diagnosis of BPD.Glycerophospholipid metabolism is associated with the occurrence of BPD and with adverse short-term respiratory outcomes.

Objective To systematically evaluate the application efficacy of failure mode and effect analysis(FMEA)management mode in the prevention and control of healthcare-associated infection(HAI).Methods Li-terature on the application of FMEA management mode in HAI prevention and control were retrieved from PubMed,Embase,the Cochrane Library,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),VIP Database,Wanfang Data-base,and China Biomedical Literature Database(CBM).Two researchers independently screened the literature,ex-tracted data,and conducted cross checking.Risk and quality assessments were performed on the included studies of randomized controlled trials by ROB tool,the included cohort studies were scored by Newcastle-Ottawa(NOS)scale,and Meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.4 software.Results A total of 22 studies involving 42 815 patients were included in the analysis,with 21 784 in the FMEA management mode group and 21 031 in the control group.Meta-analysis results showed that the incidence of HAI in the FMEA management mode group was lower than that in the control group(OR=0.31,95％CI[0.24,0.40]).Compared with the conventional management mode,incidences of superficial surgical site infection(OR=0.53,95％CI[0.36,0.78]),respiratory system infec-tion(OR=0.44,95％CI[0.35,0.56]),urinary system infection(OR=0.45,95％CI[0.38,0.53]),and blood system infection(OR=0.29,95％CI[0.18,0.45])in the FMEA management mode group were all lower(all P＜0.01).Conclusion The application of FMEA management mode in HAI prevention and control can reduce the inci-dence of HAI,which should be actively promoted in hospital management.

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.

This study was aimed at analyzing the status and pathogenic characteristics of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli(STEC)carried by sheep in a district of Beijing,to support STEC infection risk assessment,traceability investigation,and scientific prevention and control.Fecal samples from sheep in one district of Beijing were collected,and STEC strains were iso-lated.The isolates were tested for 15 antibiotic resistance types,and whole genomes were sequenced.Multi-locus sequence typ-ing,serotyping,and Shiga toxin subtyping were performed on the basis of the whole genome sequences of the isolates.A phylogenetic tree was constructed on the basis of whole genome single nucleotide polymorphisms(cgSNPs).5 STEC strains were isolated from 129 sheep fecal samples,and the i-solation rate was 3.88％(5/129).The 5 strains were classified into four serotypes and four ST types,and the stx subtypes 2k,2l,and 1a were found.All 5 STEC strains were sensitive to the tested antibiotics,including ampicillin.Whole-genome phylogenetic analysis revealed that the stx2k-STEC strains were distantly related to the stx2k-STEC strains isolated from patients with diarrhea in the local area,whereas the stx2l sub-type strain was closely related to the food-derived stx2l-STEC strain isolated in this city.The characteristics of the sheep-de-rived STEC strains in this region were diverse,and the new subtypes stx2k and stx2l were detected.The risk of human infec-tion by these strains requires further monitoring and assessment.
