Gastric variceal rupture and bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy are common and life-threatening complications in decompensated cirrhosis. As a minimally invasive interventional technique， balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration （BRTO） has made significant progress in the clinical management of gastric varices and hepatic encephalopathy in recent years. This article systematically reviews the technical principles， indications （e.g.， isolated gastric varices and refractory hepatic encephalopathy）， clinical efficacy （an acute hemostasis rate of 85% — 95%， a 1-year rebleeding rate of <15%， and an improvement rate of 60% — 80% for hepatic encephalopathy）， and safety （including complications such as renal impairment and elevated portal vein pressure） of BRTO. Meanwhile， this article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of BRTO and conventional treatment modalities （e.g.， transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and endoscopic treatment） and reviews the latest technological improvements in recent years， such as coil-assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration and plug-assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration. Future research should focus on the precision of patient selection （e.g.， stratification based on hemodynamic parameters）， the optimization of embolic materials （e.g.， application of new biodegradable embolic agents）， and the development of individualized treatment regimens， so as to improve efficacy and reduce the risk of complications.

ObjectiveTo systematically elucidate the accumulation characteristics of secondary metabolites in the stems and leaves of Panax ginseng with different stem colors. MethodsUltra-high-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole-tandem mass spectrometry （UHPLC-QqQ-MS） was employed to determine the of 22 ginsenosides in the stems and leaves of 2- to 5-year-old P. ginseng plants with green and purple stems. Principal component analysis （PCA）， orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA）， and one-way analysis of variance （ANOVA） were performed to explore the distribution patterns of ginsenosides from three dimensions： tissue distribution， growth duration， and stem color. Results① Tissue distribution： Leaves served as the primary organ for ginsenoside accumulation， exhibiting significantly higher total ginsenoside content than stems， which indicated distinct tissue-specific distribution of ginsenosides. ② Growth duration： Ginsenoside levels in stems generally peaked in the 2-year-old plants before stabilizing， while those in leaves displayed a declining-rebounding pattern， indicating that the 2-year-old plants （harvest stage） was a critical time point for the resurgence of leaf ginsenosides. ③ Stem color： A stage-specific correlation was observed between stem color and ginsenoside accumulation. In stems， the early-growth stage （2-year-old） of purple-stemmed plants exhibited higher content of specific ginsenosides （e.g.， ginsenoside Rk₁ and notoginsenoside R₁）， which may be associated with its stronger early-stage stress resistance. In leaves， the content of core ginsenosides （e.g.， ginsenosides Re and Rd） in 5-year-old plants with green stems showed a surpassing trend， demonstrating higher potential of resource development. ConclusionThe accumulation of ginsenosides in P. ginseng stems and leaves is multidimensionally regulated by tissue type， growth duration， and stem color phenotypes. Purple-stemmed plants exhibit early-stage specific ginsenoside accumulation and stress resistance potential， whereas green-stemmed plants are more advantageous for core leaf ginsenoside development at the harvest stage. The findings confirm that aboveground stem color can serve as a biomarker for directed breeding and efficient resource utilization of P. ginseng.

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance of clinical isolates from elderly patients(≥65 years)in major medical institutions across China.Methods Bacterial strains were isolated from elderly patients in 52 hospitals participating in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program during the period from 2015 to 2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out by disk diffusion method and automated systems according to the same CHINET protocol.The data were interpreted in accordance with the breakpoints recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2021.Results A total of 514 715 nonduplicate clinical isolates were collected from elderly patients in 52 hospitals from January 1,2015 to December 31,2021.The number of isolates accounted for 34.3％of the total number of clinical isolates from all patients.Overall,21.8％of the 514 715 strains were gram-positive bacteria,and 78.2％were gram-negative bacteria.Majority(90.9％)of the strains were isolated from inpatients.About 42.9％of the strains were isolated from respiratory specimens,and 22.9％were isolated from urine.More than half(60.7％)of the strains were isolated from male patients,and 39.3％isolated from females.About 51.1％of the strains were isolated from patients aged 65-＜75 years.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains(MRSA)was 38.8％in 32 190 strains of Staphylococcus aureus.No vancomycin-or linezolid-resistant strains were found.The resistance rate of E.faecalis to most antibiotics was significantly lower than that of Enterococcus faecium,but a few vancomycin-resistant strains(0.2％,1.5％)and linezolid-resistant strains(3.4％,0.3％)were found in E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible S.pneumoniae(PSSP),penicillin-intermediate S.pneumoniae(PISP),and penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae(PRSP)was 94.3％,4.0％,and 1.7％in nonmeningitis S.pneumoniae isolates.The resistance rates of Klebsiella spp.(Klebsiella pneumoniae 93.2％)to imipenem and meropenem were 20.9％and 22.3％,respectively.Other Enterobacterales species were highly sensitive to carbapenem antibiotics.Only 1.7％-7.8％of other Enterobacterales strains were resistant to carbapenems.The resistance rates of Acinetobacter spp.(Acinetobacter baumannii 90.6％)to imipenem and meropenem were 68.4％and 70.6％respectively,while 28.5％and 24.3％of P.aeruginosa strains were resistant to imipenem and meropenem,respectively.Conclusions The number of clinical isolates from elderly patients is increasing year by year,especially in the 65-＜75 age group.Respiratory tract isolates were more prevalent in male elderly patients,and urinary tract isolates were more prevalent in female elderly patients.Klebsiella isolates were increasingly resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents,especially carbapenems.Antimicrobial resistance surveillance is helpful for accurate empirical antimicrobial therapy in elderly patients.

Objective To investigate the value of the absolute number of lymphocyte subpopulations as an early warning indicator for children with SMPP(severe mycoplasma pneumonia,SMPP)and to analyze the character-istics observed via bronchoscopy,thereby providing a valuable reference for the early diagnosis of SMPP.Methods This study included 102 children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP),comprising 54 cases of common MPP and 48 cases of SMPP.The lymphocyte subpopulations,clinical characteristics,and laboratory indicators were analyzed.Results There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the absolute number levels of lymphocyte subpopulations CD3+CD19-T,CD4+T,CD3-CD19+B,CD3-/CD16+CD56+NK cells(P<0.05).The absolute numbers of CD3+CD19-T,CD4+T,CD3-CD19+B,and CD3-/CD16+CD56+NK cells showed negative correlations with serum ferritin,LDH,CRP,and D-D,respectively(P<0.05).Multifactorial logistic regression analysis identified the absolute numbers of CD3+CD19-T,CD4+T,CD3-CD19+B,and CD3-/CD16+CD56+NK cells as independent risk factors for severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(SMPP).ROC analysis demonstrated that the areas under the curve for diagnosing SMPP based on the absolute numbers of CD3+CD19-T,CD4+T,CD3-CD19+B,and CD3-/CD16+CD56+NK cells were 0.711,0.887,0.856,and 0.860,respectively,with sensitivities of 47.4%,80.8%,82.1%,and 92.3%,and specificities of 89.7%,87.2%,75%,and 70.5%,respectively.The combined ROC curve of the four lymphocyte subsets had an area of 0.983,with a sensitivity of 97.4%and specificity of 92.3%.The proportions of bronchoscopy findings and microscopic examination of mucus plugs in the SMPP group were significantly higher than those in the ordinary MPP group(P<0.05).In the mucoid plug subgroup,the absolute numbers of CD3?CD19?T cells and CD4?T cells were significantly lower compared to the non-mucoid plug subgroup,while the percentage of CD8?T cells increased and the CD4?/CD8? ratio decreased(all P<0.05).Conclusions The absolute number of CD3+CD19-T,CD4+T,CD3-CD19+B,and CD3-/CD16+CD56+NK cells in peripheral blood serves as a highly sensitive and specific predictor of small airway mucus plugging phenomenon(SMPP)and can thus be utilized as a potential biomarker for SMPP.Microscopic analysis under SMPP conditions reveals a high prevalence of mucus plugs,necessitating proactive bronchoscopic intervention.Furthermore,the significant imbalance in T cell subpopulations is strongly correlated with the formation of mucus plugs observed during bronchoscopy.

Lens injury is an important etiological factor in the reduction of visual function following ocular trauma.Currently, there are no clear standards for the classification of lens injury, and comprehensive diagnostic tools are lacking.This deficiency leads to numerous controversies and challenges in critical areas, such as diagnosis and preoperative evalution, timing of surgery, surgical strategy, and assessment of postoperative prognosis.Tomographic imaging technology, such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, optical coherence tomography, has introduced a new dimension to the evaluation of lens injury, which is crucial for assessing the transparency, texture, location, morphology, and integrity of the lens, as well as the zonules and nearby intraocular structures.However, the use of tomographic imaging technology is somewhat limited due to the limitations of relying on a single method.With the ongoing advancement of imaging technologies and the rapid development of big data and artificial intelligence, tomographic imaging will become an increasingly essential tool in the future management of lens injury.Our expert group reviewed the epidemiological characteristics and classification of lens injury and the major challenges currently faced in the diagnosis and treatment of lens injury, and provided expert recommendations mainly focusing on the application, shortcomings and limitations of current tomographic imaging technology in the diagnosis and treatment of lens injury, and future development directions.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.
