Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) is a minimally invasive technique that is increasingly used for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) originating from the muscularis propria. Despite its advantages over conventional surgery, such as complete tumor resection and faster recovery, EFTR faces challenges related to its efficacy, safety, and feasibility, particularly in gastric GISTs. By summarizing the literature published over the past decade, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical outcomes of EFTR and the evolution of defect closure devices.

Objective To examine the changing prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Burkholderia cepacia in 52 hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were collected from 52 hospitals between January 1,2015 and December 31,2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility of the strains was tested using Kirby-Bauer method or automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems according to a unified protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released in the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)guidelines(2023 edition).Results A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were isolated from all age groups,especially elderly patients.The proportion was 11.1％(1 032 strains)in children,significantly lower than the proportion in adults.About half(46.5％,4 310/9 261)of the strains were isolated from patients at least 60 years old and 42.3％(3 919/9 261)of the strains were isolated from young adults.Most isolates(71.1％)were isolated from sputum and respiratory secretions,followed by urine(10.7％)and blood samples(8.1％).B.cepacia isolates were highly susceptible to the five antimicrobial agents recommended in the CLSI M100 document(33rd edition,2023).B.cepacia isolates showed relatively higher resistance rates to meropenem and levofloxacin.However,the resistance rates to ceftazidime,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,and minocycline remained below 8.1％.The percentage of B.cepacia strains resistant to levofloxacin was the highest compared to other antibiotics in any of the three age groups(from 12.4％in the patients＜18 years old to 20.6％in the patients aged 60 years or older).Conclusions B.cepacia is one of the clinically important non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria.Accurate and timely reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility test results and ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance are helpful for rational prescription of antimicrobial agents and proper prevention and control of nosocomial infections.

Aim To investigate the antidepressant mechanism of hyperforin via the utilization of single-cell sequencing technology.Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the control group,depres-sion model group,and hyperforin intervention group.The chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)model was induced and drug interventions were administered for 28 d.Behavioral experiments were conducted to as-sess depressive symptoms,and hippocampal tissue was collected for single-cell RNA sequencing.Key cell populations and differentially expressed genes across groups were identified,followed by PPI network,GO,and KEGG enrichment analysis.Results Behavioral experiments indicated that CUMS successfully induced depressive symptoms in mice,while hyperforin im-proved depressive behavior.In the depression model group,the proportion of brain perivascular macrophages(PVM)increased,and this proportion decreased after hyperforin intervention,approaching the level seen in the control group.The top 20 common differentially ex-pressed genes in the PVM subpopulation were Saa3,Hbb-bs and Ccl24.PPI network analysis identified core targets,including Ccl2,Dhx9,C3,Msr1,Cxcl2 and Cx3cr1.KEGG enrichment analysis revealed pathways related to chemokines,phagosome formation,and inosi-tol phosphate metabolism.Conclusion The antide-pressant mechanism of hyperforin may be related to the regulation of Ccl24 and its related chemokine signaling pathway by PVM.

Objective:To evaluate the relevant factors to optimize the learning curve and the impact of the basic skills of endoscopic technology on the learning curve of gasless transaxillary posterior endoscopic thyroidectomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of 50 patients who underwent Glandular Ultrasound-Assisted (GUA) thyroid surgery by a surgeon with a background in endoscopic thyroid surgery via the thoracic-areolar approach, and 50 patients operated on by a surgeon without such experience at the Thyroid Surgery Department of Jilin University China-Japan Union Hospital from Apr. to Dec. 2023. The patients were divided into two groups: the Endoscopic Experience Group and the Non-Endoscopic Experience Group. The Cumulative Sum Control Chart (CUSUM) was applied to construct learning curves for both groups, dividing the technical exploration period from the mastery period. The analysis compared the surgical time, postoperative first-day drainage volume, number of central lymph nodes dissected rates, and postoperative complications between the two groups and across the two phases.Results:The analysis of the learning curve revealed that the inflection point of the Endoscopic Experience Group was 15, while of the Non-Endoscopic Experience Group was 18. The learning curve was divided into the technical exploration stage and the proficient mastery stage. The operative time of technical exploration stagde was significantly longer than of proficient mastery stage of both group (183.46±36.13min vs.144.40±26.14min, P<0.001; 186.89±48.91min vs.131.59±22.90min; P<0.001) . The operative time in the proficient mastery stage of the Endoscopic Experience Group was longer than that of the Non-Endoscopic Experience Group (144.40±26.15min vs. 131.59±22.90min, P<0.05) . The postoperative drainage volume in the Endoscopic Experience Group was lower than that in Non-Endoscopic Experience Group in both stages (65.40±32.48mL vs.93.22±30.67mL, 57.40±15.35mL vs.78.50±28.30mL, P<0.05) , and the postoperative drainage volume in the proficient mastery stage of the Non-Endoscopic Experience Group was significantly lower than in the technical exploration stage (93.22±30.67mL vs.78.50±28.30mL, P<0.05) .No significant differences in central lymph node dissection numbers or postoperative complications were observed between the groups at both stages. Conclusions:There is a specific learning curve in the early stage of gasless transaxillary posterior endoscopic thyroidectomy. After crossing the learning curve, the operation time is obviously shortened with the improvement of the operator's surgical technique.Having a basic understanding of endoscopic technology in the early stage can reduce the occurrence of postoperative drainage, but has a minimal impact on the learning curve.

OBJECTIVE To explore the diagnostic value of the guanylate binding protein 5(GBP5)gene in pa-tients infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB).METHODS Patients who visited the Fifth People's Hos-pital of Suzhou from Jan.2024 to May 2024,as well as individuals undergoing health examinations during the same period,were selected as the study subjects.Based on the diagnostic criteria,the subjects were divided into active tuberculosis(ATB)group(230 cases),pneumonia group(207 cases),latent tuberculosis infection(LTBI)group(48 cases)and healthy control(HC)group(122 cases).Real-time quantitative reverse transcription poly-merase chain reaction was used to detect the expression level of the GBP 5 gene in the whole blood of the subjects,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were employed to analyze its diagnostic performance.RESULTS There were statistically significant differences in GBP5 gene expression among the four groups(P＜0.001).The area under the ROC curve(AUC)for GBP5 in distinguishing the ATB group from the HC group,LTBI group and pneumonia group was 0.902,0.813 and 0.745,respectively.In the ATB group,the positive de-tection rate of the GBP5 method was 67.39％,higher than that of Gene Xpert MTB/RIF(62.20％),tuberculosis culture(60.00％)and smear acid-fast staining(35.20％)(P＜0.05).When distinguishing between ATB and LTBI patients,the positive prediction value of GBP5 was 95.09％,higher than that of IGRA testing(79.92％)(P＜0.05).The expression level of GBP5 was negatively correlated with the MTB bacterial load(P＜0.001).CONCLUSIONS The detection of the GBP5 gene has important clinical significance in the auxiliary diagno-sis of tuberculosis and can serve as an effective supplement to existing diagnostic methods for tuberculosis.

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.
