Pheochromocytoma is a neuroendocrine tumor that produces catecholamines, leading to elevated blood pressure and metabolic changes in patients. It can result in serious complications affecting the heart, brain, kidneys, and blood vessels, potentially becoming a primary cause of death. Most pheochromocytoma patients present with atypical symptoms, making misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis common. This article reports a case of pheochromocytoma crisis misdiagnosed as severe viral myocarditis and includes a review of the relevant literature.

Objective To explore the dual coping experience of nursing dependence among middle-aged and young patients with enterostomy and their primary caregivers from the perspective of family resilience,in order to provide evidence for improving the experience of nursing dependence and promoting family resilience.Methods Us-ing the phenomenological research method in qualitative research,18 young and middle-aged enterostomy patients and their primary caregivers were selected for semi-structured interviews with purpose sampling method,and the in-terview data were analyzed by content analysis method.Results A total of 4 themes and 8 sub-themes were ex-tracted.Theme 1:heavy dependence-elastic fatigue-weak resilience(patients avoid stomas,depression,caregivers help-lessly accepting;patients role reinforcement,excessive dependence,caregivers exhaustion);theme 2:moderate depen-dence-elastic adjustment-strong resilience trend(active exploration,mutual understanding,perceived support;focus ad-justment,mutual dependence,positive relationship);theme 3:mild dependence-elastic space-strong resilience(self-con-trollable feeling,quick adaptation,mutual growth;facing calmly,cherishing life,reshaping value);theme 4:no depen-dence-gradual loss of elasticity-weak resilience trend(refusal to seek help,self isolation,relationship cracks;frustration in seeking help,self-protection,relationship alienation).In this article,we proposed a preliminary family resilience model for patients with enterostomy.Conclusion The dual coping and family resilience of the patients with en-terostomy and their primary caregivers are different and dynamic.Family-centered support should be applied to strengthen the positive coping and improve the level of family resilience.In addition,this study also tried to pro-pose a family resilience model for patients with enterostomy based on nursing dependence,in order to enrich the connotation of family resilience.

The drug resistance of the carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae(CRE)strains was mainly induced by multiple approaches such as production of carbapenemases,increase of bacterial outer membrane permeability,activation of active efflux pump system,formation of biofilm and drug modifying mechanisms.Those mecha-nisms involve deletion,mutation,insertion and posttranscriptional modification of relevant encoding genes,which may affect the susceptibility of the CRE strains to antibiotics.At present,the conventional clinical thera-pies include the use of traditional antibiotics,either the one-drug use or combined use of drugs.The development of novel antibacterial therapy is under way.The epidemiological characteristics of CRE infections,drug resist-ance mechanisms,current and prospective treatment strategies for CRE infections(covering new application of the drugs in available,the novel drugs such as ceftazidime/avibactam,meropenem/vaborbactam and imipenem/rele-bactam)were deeply reviewed in this article,so as to provide reliable reference for clinical prevention,control and treatment of CRE infections.

Objective The homological analysis of a foodborne disease outbreak event that occurred on July 15, 2022, in Sanya was carried out to provide scientific basis for clinical treatment, incident tracing and prevention and control, and to explore the feasibility of pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) in the homology analysis of Salmonella bacteria. Methods The traceability analysis of food poisoning incidents was accurately analyzed through the combination of traditional bacterial detection methods, PFGE, MALDI-TOF MS and the clinical symptom, epidemiological characteristics. Results In this outbreak, 14 cases of poisoning symptoms such as fever, nausea, and vomiting appeared, all of which had a history of dining in the same restaurant, with similar onset and clinical manifestations. Among them, one was the chef who made the fried rice in the restaurant. The pathogen culture and identification showed that it was caused by Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella choleraesuis. Among the 14 cases of patients, 5 cases of Salmonella choleraesuis, 3 cases of Salmonella typhimurium, with the positive rate of 57.14% (8/14). One case of environment and two cases of food were detected. The result of PFGE showed nine PFGE types, 95.00% homology for 7 strains, and 94.00% homology for 4 strains. Conclusions The food poisoning was caused by eating egg fried rice containing Salmonella choleraesuis and pork intestine containing Salmonella typhimurium. In the future, , it is necessary to strengthen the risk monitoring of food contamination and harmful factors, to ensure food safety from the source of food supply, and to prevent the occurrence of foodborne infection events. At the same time, it is also crucial to standardize the health check of related personnel, and to conduct multi-channel education on the harm and prevention of foodborne diseases.

Objective:To study the clinical characteristics of ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) infection in preterm infants with gestational age <34 weeks.Methods:From January 2017 to December 2021, premature infants with gestational age <34 weeks admitted to neonatal department of our hospital were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. UU-DNA from respiratory tract samples were examined using quantitative fluorescence polymerase chain reaction method. The infants were assigned into UU (+) group and UU (-) group. Perinatal factors and clinical characteristics were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 182 preterm infants were enrolled, including 59 cases (32.4%) in UU (+) group and 123 (67.6%) in UU (-) group. UU (+) group had significantly lower gestational age and birth weight and significantly higher incidences of vaginal delivery, premature rupture of membranes (PROM) >18 h and maternal chorioamnionitis than UU (-) group ( P<0.05). Compared with UU (-) group, UU (+) group had significantly higher leucocyte count, neutrophil count and interleukin-6 at 1, 24 and 72 h after birth ( P<0.05). No significant differences existed in C-reactive protein and procalcitonin between the two groups at each time point ( P>0.05). In UU (+) group, the incidences of intrauterine pulmonary infection and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) were higher and the incidence of respiratory distress syndrome was lower than UU (-) group ( P<0.05). No significant differences existed in the incidences of intraventricular hemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia, feeding intolerance, necrotizing enterocolitis, retinopathy of prematurity between the two groups ( P>0.0 5). UU (+) group had significantly longer duration of oxygen therapy than UU (-) group ( P<0.05). No significant differences existed in the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation and hospital stay between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Preterm infants <34 weeks with positive UU in respiratory tract secretions have higher incidences of vaginal delivery, PROM>18 h and maternal chorioamnionitis. Leukocyte and neutrophil count and interleukin -6 are higher in these infants. They need prolonged oxygen therapy and have increased risks of intrauterine pulmonary infection and BPD.

Objective:To explore the performance of the commonly used whole blood C-reactive protein (CRP) detection systems and give related recommendation on the performance requirements of detection systems.Methods:A total of 7 540 venous blood samples from 26 maternal, child and children′s hospitals were collected to conduct this multi-center study on the analytical performance of 5 commonly used whole blood CRP detection systems from March to April in 2019. The blank check, carryover, repeatability, intermediate precision, linearity, sample stability, influence of hematocrit/triglyceride/bilirubin, comparison with SIEMENS specific protein analyzer and trueness were evaluated. The 5 systems included BC-5390CRP autohematology analyzer, AstepPLUS specific protein analyzer, Ottoman-1000 Automated Specific Protein POCT Workstation, i-CHROMA Immunofluorometer equipment Reader and Orion QuikRead go detecting instrument. The 5 systems were labeled as a, b, c, d and e randomly.Results:Within the 5 systems, all values of blank check were less than 1.00 mg/L, the carryovers were lower than 1.00%. The repeatability of different ranges of CRP concentrations including 3.00-10.00, 10.00-30.00 and>30.00 mg/L were less than 10.00%, 6.00% and 5.00%, respectively, and the intermediate precision was less than 10.00%. The linearity correlation coefficients of the 5 systems were all above 0.975, while the slope was within 0.950-1.050. Whole blood samples were stable within 72 hours both at room temperature (18-25 ℃) and refrigerated temperature (2-8 ℃). The CRP results were rarely influenced by high triglyceride or bilirubin, except for the immmunoturbidimetric test based on microparticles coated with anti-human CRP F(ab) 2 fragments. When triglyceride was less than 15.46 mmol/L, the deviation of CRP was less than 10.00%. When bilirubin was less than 345.47 μmol/L, the deviation of CRP was less than 10.00%. CRP was more susceptible to Hct on the systems without Hct correction. The deviation of CRP between different Hct dilution concentration and 40% dilution concentration can reach as high as 67.48%. The correlation coefficients ( r) of 5 systems were all more than 0.975 in the range of 0-300.00 mg/L compared with Siemens specific protein analyzer. All systems passed the trueness verification using the samples with specified values of 12.89 and 30.60 mg/L. Conclusion:The performance of 5 systems can basically meet the clinical needs, but it is suggested that the whole blood CRP detection system without automatic Hct correction should be modified manually.

Objective:To investigate the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and treatment of acute pancreatitis (AP) complicated with spleen infarction.Methods:A case of AP combined with splenic infarction was retrospectively analyzed and the literature was reviewed.Results:AP complicated with splenic infarction suggested that the patient′s condition was serious. The impairment of splenic immune function caused by splenic infarction may be an important cause of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Early detection and active treatment can obtain a good prognosis, and anticoagulant or antiplatelet aggregation treatment was not the key treatment.Conclusions:AP combined with splenic infarction may be an risk factor for SAP.
