Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis(PaeP).Methods Peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis(PDAP)patients who were followed up in the nephrology outpatient department of a hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively.According to bacterial culture results,patients were divided into the PaeP group and non-PaeP group.Clinical characteristics of PaeP patients and antimicrobial susceptibility testing results of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were analyzed,clinical manifestations,laboratory test results,and prognosis of two groups of patients were compared.Results A total of 124 peritoneal dialysis patients were included in analysis,164 cases of peritoni-tis occurred,16 cases were in the PaeP group and 148 in the non-PaeP group.11 patients developed 16 episodes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection,accounting for 8.9％of PDAP patients.Among them,4 patients had peritoneal dialysis catheter exit-site infection,with 5 recurrence cases,1 case cured,1 case died,and 9 cases were extubated.Among the extubated patients,1 withdrew dialysis,3 were recovered to peritoneal dialysis after hemodialysis,5 changed to permanently hemodialysis,with a technical failure rate of 54.5％.Compared with the non-PaeP group,patients in the PaeP group had a shorter dialysis time(13.83±4.92 vs 38.53±35.77 months).During the infection period,C-reactive protein levels were higher(96.61±6.17 vs 45.87±44.65 mg/L),while albumin levels were lower(25.62±4.42 vs 29.46±8.25 g/L).At the onset of infection,the proportion of polymorphonuclear cells in perito-neal dialysis fluid was relatively higher.On the 5th day of treatment,the negative conversion rate of white blood cell count in peritoneal dialysis fluid was relatively low.Differences were all statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The cure rate of patients in the PaeP group was lower than that in the non-PaeP group,the technical failure rate was higher than that in the non-PaeP group,both with statistically significant differences(both P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the mortality between two groups of patients(P＞0.05).Conclusion PaeP patients have severe clinical manifestations,poor clinical treatment prognosis,high recurrence and extubation rates.For patients with repeated episodes,resetting and replacing the tunnel after extubation is an effective means to re-duce technical failures.

Objective:To investigate the effect of a rapid rehabilitation nursing model under the theoretical framework of Rogers' Science of Unitary Human Beings in the postoperative care of children undergoing radical operation on Hirschsprung's disease.Methods:A total of 91 children with Hirschsprung's disease and their parents who underwent radical surgery at the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University (Henan Children's Hospital, Zhengzhou Children's Hospital) between January 2022 and January 2024 were selected by convenience sampling. Using a computer-generated random number table, they were randomly divided into an intervention group ( n=46) and a control group ( n=45). The control group received routine surgical nursing, while the intervention group received a rapid rehabilitation nursing model based on Rogers' theoretical framework in addition to routine care. Postoperative pain stress, anorectal function, gastrointestinal functional recovery, and parental satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results:On the third postoperative day, the intervention group had lower scores on the FLACC scale, better anorectal function, and shorter times to first bowel sound, first anal exhaust, and first defecation than the control group. The overall parental satisfaction rate in the intervention group was 86.96% (40/46), higher than 51.11% (23/45) in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05) . Conclusions:The rapid rehabilitation nursing model under the theoretical framework of Rogers' Science of Unitary Human Beings showed significant effectiveness in children undergoing radical operation on Hirschsprung's disease. It reduced postoperative pain, promoted recovery of anorectal and gastrointestinal function, and improved parental satisfaction.

Objective:To explore the clinical and pathological features and survival outcomes of patients with early-onset intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EOICC).Methods:This is a multicenter, retrospective cohort study. Data of 1 160 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients undergoing radical resection in 14 tertiary Grade A hospitals in China from January 2010 to November 2021 were retrospectively collected. The cohort included 632 males and 528 females, aged( M (IQR)) 61 (14) years (range: 22 to 93 years). ICC aged ≤50 years at the time of diagnosis was defined as EOICC and >50 years as late-onset intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (LOICC). Of these, there were 247 cases in the EOICC group and 913 cases in the LOICC. The clinical and pathological characteristics of both groups were analyzed and compared using the independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test or Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models for patient outcomes were constructed and forest graphed. Results:Compared with the patients in the LOICC group, patients in the EOICC group had lower carcinoembryonic antigen levels (2.5(4.0) μg/L vs. 3.1(5.2)μg/L, U=124 899, P=0.009) and CA19-9 level (63.4(524.7)U/ml vs. 77.9(611.3)U/ml, U=120 320, P=0.013), higher levels of ALT (29(35)U/L vs. 24(26)U/L, U=101 214, P=0.013), a lower score of the Eastern US Cooperative Oncology Group (0 score patients: 54.7% vs. 44.1%, χ2=12.472, P=0.014), higher TNM stage ( χ2=11.807, P=0.038), and proportion of lymph node dissection (62.3% vs. 54.1%, χ2=5.355, P=0.021). Patients in the two groups in sex, first diagnosis symptoms, intrahepatic bile duct stone history, nail protein, albumin, total bilirubin, transaminase, liver function Child-Pugh grade, T stage, stage, N stage, preoperative laparoscopic exploration proportion, tumor diameter, vascular invasion proportion, differentiation, margin, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative complications, postoperative hospital days were no statistical significance (all P>0.05). Patients in the EOICC group had better outcomes than the LOICC group (median survival time: 29.7 months vs. 25.0 months, 3-year overall survival: 45.1% vs. 37.8%, P=0.027). Conclusion:EOICC patients are better than LOICC patients in carcinoembryonic antigen, CA19-9, ALT, physical strength status and TNM stage, and the long-term prognosis is also better than LOICC patients.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the hemodynamic pattern of non-culprit vessel stenosis and long-term vessel-oriented composite outcome(VOCO) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods:From January 2019 to December 2021, 233 consecutive patients with STEMI and non-culprit vessel stenosis were prospectively enrolled at Shanghai East Hospital. The median follow-up duration was 3.9 years. The 367 non-culprit vessels of the 233 patients were divided into the VOCO group (33 vessels, 9.0%) and the non-VOCO group (334 vessels, 91.0%). Parameters pertaining to the hemodynamic pattern of non-culprit vessel stenosis between the two groups were compared. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the correlation between hemodynamic pattern and VOCO, and Cox multivariate regression and logistic multivariate regression analyses were applied to identify independent predictors of VOCO.Results:The 233 enrolled patients were aged (62.5±12.9) years, with 193 males (82.8%). In the VOCO group, the maximum quantitative flow ratio (QFR) decreased within 20 mm of the QFR-assessed segment, the difference in QFR across the entire vessel, the length of functionally significant vessel, and the maximum gradient of QFR decrease (dQFR/dsmax) were significantly greater than those in the non-VOCO group. ROC curve analysis showed that the optimal threshold for predicting VOCO using dQFR/dsmax was 0.009 6 (area under the curve: 0.691, 95% CI: 0.606-0.775, P<0.001). Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that dQFR/dsmax was an independent predictor of VOCO ( HR=1.199, 95% CI: 1.070-1.343, P=0.002). When anatomical and functional stenosis severities were included in the model, a high pullback pressure gradient (PPG) index ( HR=1.572, 95% CI: 1.052-2.351, P=0.027) emerged as an independent predictor of VOCO. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that a low PPG index( OR=2.851, 95% CI: 1.945-4.178, P<0.001) was an independent predictor of QFR≤0.80 without long-term VOCO. Conclusion:In patients with STEMI, localized hemodynamic patterns of coronary artery stenosis, characterized by high dQFR/dsmax and high PPG index, are associated with long-term VOCO.

Objective To investigate the mutational spectrum and phenotype of abnormal hemoglobin in the diabetes screening population in Xi'an Region. Methods A total of 30356 patients from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University were collected and measured for HbA1c by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) from January 2022 to December 2022. Both complete blood count and hemoglobin analysis were carried out when HPLC suggested an abnormal peak. Abnormal hemoglobins were identified by Sanger sequencing. Results In this study,the rate of abnormal hemoglobin in the diabetes screening population of Xi'an region was 0.096％ (28/30356). A total of 7 types of abnormal hemoglobins were detected:Hb E (n=10),G-Coushatta (n=6),Hb G-Taibei(n=6),Hb Q-Thailand (n=2),Hb North Manchester (n=2),Hb Ottawa (n=1) and Hb Queens (n=1). One case was Hb G-Taipei combined with IVS Ⅱ-659_664 (-GCAATA),the first report in the world. The abnormal hemoglobin phenotypes were normal except for seven cases of Hb E. Except for Hb G-Coushatta and Hb Ottawa,which did not interfere with the glycation test,the other five abnormal hemoglobins affected the glycation test results. Conclusion There is a certain prevalence rate of abnormal hemoglobin in the diabetes screaning population of Xi'an,mainly Hb E,Hb G-Taibei and Hb G-Coushatta. Most abnormal hemoglobins present normal phenotypes,but they could interfere with glycation test results.

Objective:To report the nationwide surveillance results of pathogenic profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Gram-positive bloodstream infections in China in 2023.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-posttive bacteria from blood cultures were collected in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）during January to December 2023. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the dilution method recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. Statistical analyses were conducted using WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software.Results:A total of 4 385 Gram-positive bacterial isolates were obtained from 60 participating center. The top five pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus（ n=1 544，35.2%），coagulase-negative Staphylococci（ n=1 441，32.9%）， Enterococcus faecium（ n=574，13.1%）， Enterococcus faecalis（ n=385，8.8%），and α-hemolytic Streptococci（ n=187，4.3%）. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus（MRSA）and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci（MRCNS）was 26.2%（405/1 544）and 69.8%（1 006/1 441），respectively. Notably，all Staphylococci remained susceptible to glycopeptide or daptomycin. Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated excellent susceptibility（>97.0%）to cephalobiol，rifampicin，trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole，linezolid，minocycline，tigecycline，and eravacycline. No Enterococcus exhibiting resistance to linezolid were detected. Glycopeptide resistance was uncommon but more frequent in Enterococcus faecium（resistance to vancomycin and teicoplanin：both 1.7%）compared to Enterococcus faecalis（both 0.3%）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS exhibited significant regional variations across the country（ χ2=17.674 and 148.650，respectively，both P<0.001）. No vancomycin-resistant Enterococci were detected in central China. Institutional comparison demonstrated higher prevalence of MRSA（ χ2=14.111， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.828， P=0.028）in provincial hospitals than that in municipal hospitals. Socioeconomic analysis identified elevated detection rates of both MRSA（ χ2=18.986， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.477， P=0.034）in less developed regions（per capita GDP

WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period，11 492 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 60 hospitals，of which 10 098（87.9%）were Enterobacterales and 1 394（12.1%）were non-fermentative bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli（50.0%）， Klebsiella pneumoniae（26.1%）， Pseudomonas aeruginosa（5.1%）， Acinetobacter baumannii complex（5.0%）and Enterobacter cloacae complex（4.1%）. The ESBL-producing rates in Escherichia coli， Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirablilis were 46.8%（2 685/5 741），18.3%（549/2 999）and 44.0%（77/175），respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli（CREC）and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae（CRKP）were 1.3%（76/5 741）and 15.0%（450/2 999）；32.9%（25/76）and 78.0%（351/450）of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to ceftazidime/avibactam combination，respectively. 94.7%（72/76）and 90.2%（406/450）of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to aztreonam/avibactam combination. Furthermore，57.9%（44/76）and 79.1%（356/450）were sensitive to imipenem/relebactam combination. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii（CRAB）complex was 64.6%（370/573），while more than 80.0% of CRAB complex was sensitive to tigecycline，eravacycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa（CRPA）was 17.0%（99/581）. There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of important Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions in China，with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CREC，CRKP，CRPA and CRAB complex（ χ2=10.6，28.6，10.8 and 19.3， P<0.05）. The prevalence of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli， CREC，CRAB complex and CRKP were higher in provincial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=12.5，9.8，12.7 and 57.8，all P<0.01）. Conclusions:Gram-negative bacteria are the main pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China，and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top，while the trend of Klebsiella pneumoniae increases continuously with time. CRKP infection shows a slow upward trend，CREC infecton maintains a low prevalence level，and CRAB complex infection continues to exhibit a high prevalence rate. The composition and resistance patterns of pathogens causing bloodstream infections vary to some extent across different regions and levels of hospitals in China.

Objective:Varicocele(VC)induces male infertility by mediating changes in the testicular microenvironment,in which testicular hypoxia and high-pressure are important pathological conditions.This study aims to compare the mouse spermatogenesis(GC-2spd)cells and Sertoli(TM4)cells of mouse testis after hypoxic modeling and hypoxic and high-pressure combined modeling,and to explore the feasibility of establishing a hypoxic and high-pressure combined cell model.Methods:On the basis of cell hypoxia induced by CoCl2,the complex model of testicular cell hypoxia and high pressure was constructed by changing the osmotic pressure of GC-2 and TM4 cell medium with a high concentration of NaCl solution.After selecting the intervention concentration of CoCl2 by MTT test and detecting the expression level of HIF-1α for the determination of the optimal osmotic pressure conditions of the cell model,the cells were divided into normal group,hypoxia model group and composite model group.And the levels of OS,programmed cell death,inflammatory factors,and the expression levels of pyroptosis-related proteins were compared between the normal group and the groups with different modeling methods.Results:The optimal intervention concentration of CoCl2 in GC-2 and TM4 cells was 150 and 250μmol/L,respectively,and the expression of HIF-1α was the highest in both cells under osmotic pressure of 500 mOsmol/kg(P＜0.05).Compared with the normal group,the SOD levels of GC-2 and TM4 cells decreased(all P＜0.05),CAT level decreased(all P＜0.05),and MDA level increased(all P＜0.01),and the OS level of GC-2 and TM4 cells was more obvious than that of the hy-poxia model group(all P＜0.05).Compared with the normal group,apoptosis occurred in GC-2 and TM4 cells after composite model-ing(all P＜0.05).Compared with the normal group,the mRNA expressions of IL-1β,IL-18,TNF-α and COX-2 in GC-2 and TM4 cells significantly increased(P＜0.01)and higher than those in hypoxia model group(P＜0.05)and induced pyroptosis(P＜0.01).The expression level of GSDMD increased(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The cell model with hypoxia and high pressure com-bined modeling can not only induce oxidative stress and apoptosis of cells better than that with hypoxia alone,but also further cause in-flammatory response damage and pyroptosis,which simulates the changes of testis microenvironment mediated by hypoxia and high pressure combined conditions in VC.This cell model can be used for studying the pathogenesis of VC-associated male infertility,evalu-ating drug efficacy,and exploring pharmacological mechanisms.
