Objective To understand the current situation of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in China,pro-vide data support and decision-making basis for formulating scientific and effective strategies for HAI prevention and control.Methods A nationwide cross-sectional survey on HAI was conducted among various types and levels of medical institutions in China according to a unified protocol of bedside surveys and case investigations.Results In 2024,a total of 5 736 medical institutions and 2 751 765 patients were surveyed.Among them,34 889 HAI cases were identified,with a prevalence rate of 1.27%.The number of HAI episodes was 38 032,and case prevalence rate was 1.38%.The prevalence rate of HAI in medical institutions in different regions of China ranged from 0.66%to 2.35%.Among medical institutions of different scales,those with a bed capacity of ≥900 had the high-est incidence of HAI,reaching 1.65%.The most common infection site was the lower respiratory tract(44.66%),followed by the urinary tract(12.94%),surgical site(9.32%),upper respiratory tract(7.02%),and bloodstream infection(5.78%).The top 3 departments with the highest HAI rates were the general intensive care unit(10.02%),department of neurosurgery(5.51%),and department(group)of hematology(5.34%).A total of 23 238 strains of HAI pathogens were detected,with 10 714 strains(46.10%)from lower respiratory tract speci-mens.The top 5 detected strains were Klebsiella pneumoniae(14.76%),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(13.33%),Escherichia coli(12.79%),Acinetobacter baumannii(9.23%),and Staphylococcus aureus(7.88%).231 944 pa-tients underwent class Ⅰ incision surgery were monitored,with 1 647 cases experienced surgical site infection,and the prevalence rate of surgical site infection was 0.71%.The number of patients who should undergo pathogen de-tection(patients receiving therapeutic and therapeutic combined prophylactic antimicrobial agents)was 715 179,while the actual number was 480 492,with a pathogen detection rate of 67.18%.425 225 patients received patho-genic detection before treatment,with a detection rate of 59.46%.Conclusion The overall HAI prevalence in Chi-na is lower,showing disparities among medical institutions of different regions and scales.Therefore,precise imple-mentation of measures is necessary for HAI prevention and control,with a focus on high-risk institutions and high-risk departments,key areas,and critical procedures.All levels of medical institutions should continuously reduce the incidence of HAI by strengthening monitoring,standardizing the use of antimicrobial agents,and reinforcing basic HAI prevention and control measures.

Objective:To investigate the phenotypic characteristics of dendritic cell (DC) in the peripheral blood of patients with chronic antibody-mediated rejection (CAMR) after kidney transplantation,revealing the potential role of DCs in the occurrence and development of CAMR.Methods:Case-control study. A total of 25 kidney transplant recipients who underwent kidney transplantation or were under long-term follow-up at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from October 1st, 2020, to July 31st, 2021, were recruited in this case-control study, comprising 15 cases of patients with CAMR and 10 cases of patients with stable renal function. Flow cytometry was used to analyze DC subsets in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of patients. Correlation analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between DC subsets and renal function indicators. Iterative cluster analysis was performed based on the absolute counts of DC, ILT3+ mDC, ILT3+ pDC,ILT4+ mDC and ILT4+ pDC in the CAMR group.Results:Compared with the stable renal function group, the percentages and absolute count of pDC, pDC/mDC ratio, and absolute count of ILT3+ pDC were decreased while percentages of ILT3+ mDC were increased in CAMR group . DC percentage was negatively correlated with Scr (r=-0.467, P=0.019) and CysC (r=-0.502, P=0.011) and positively correlated with eGFR (r=0.436, P=0.029). ILT4+ pDC percentage was positively correlated with CysC (r=0.433, P=0.031), and absolute count of DCs was negatively correlated with CysC (r=-0.425, P=0.034). Iterative cluster analysis defined two patient clusters with significant statistic differences of Scr, eGFR, and CysC detection results in the CAMR group.Conclusion:The distribution of DC subsets and the expression of ILT3 and ILT4 in the blood of post-transplant patients could provide new biomarkers for early identification of CAMR risk and optimization of immunosuppressive therapy strategies. Particularly, changes of pDC and the expression levels of ILT3, ILT4 can serve as valuable indicators for assessing post-transplant immune status and renal function prognosis.

Mezlocillin sodium and sulbactam sodium for injection(2. 5 g,once every 12 hours)and azithromycin injection(0. 5 g,once daily)were given to a 23-year-old female patient due to the community-aquired mycoplasma pneumonia and acute purulent tonsillitis. On the eleventh day,the treatments above mentioned were changed to oral moxifloxacin 0. 4 g once daily because of the improvement of the patient's condition. Thirty minutes after the moxifloxacin administration for the first time,the patient felt chest tightness,palpitation,fever,and generalized flush accompanied by wheal and papula on her limbs and trunk. The electrocardiogram examination showed double directional or inverted T waves in the precordial leads and prolonged QT period with corrected QT interval 462 ms. Laboratory examination showed creatine kinase(CK)239 U/ L,isoenzyme of creatine kinase(CK-MB)35 U/ L. TypeⅠhypersensitivity reaction was diagnosed. Moxifloxacin was stopped and ananaphylaxis and supportive treatments were given immediately. Three days later,her skin symptoms disappeared,ECG examination result returned to normal. The levels of CK and CK-MB were 40 U/ L and 11 U/ L,respectively.

Aim To explore the effect of microRNAs on the differentiation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes and the expression of adipo-related gene-fatty acid binding protein during the adipocyte differentiation.Methods adipo-related microRNAs during 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation were screened and identified by micorRNA microarray.Constructed high-expression plasmids of the adipo-related microRNAs,were transfected into the 3T3-L1 preadipocytes by lipofectamine.While the effect of adipo-related microRNAs on the course of 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation was observed,the protein and mRNA expression level of fatty acid binding protein(FABP4)were analyzed by Western blot and RT-PCR during 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation.Results The expression profiles of microRNAs have significant changed during 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation,in which 35 microRNAs among them down-relation,the most lowly expression is miR-24;17 microRNAs among them up-relation,the most highly expression is miR-21.MiR-24 significantly inhibited adipocyte differentiation and maturity,while miR-21 have no significant effect.MiR-24 significantly inhibited the expression of FABP4,but had no effect on the level of its mRNA;miR-21 had no effect on the expression of protein and mRNA of FABP4.Conclusion There exist adipogenic-related microRNAs during 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation; miR-24 play an important role in the regulation of 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation into adipocyte and the(FABP4)protein expression.
