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

Objective:To report the results of bacterial resistant investigation collaborative system（BRICS）on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-negative bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2023，and provide reference for clinical tretment of bloodstream infections and prevention and control of bacterial resistance.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of BRICS were collected during January 2023 to December 2023. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. 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 To systematically evaluate of the effect of autoimmune diseases(AIDs)on early spontaneous abortion(ESA).Methods Several databases such as Ovid and Web of Science were searched from January 2000 to May 2024 for retrospective analysis.Furthermore,subgroup analysis was conducted in terms of AIDs,continent and assisted reproduction.Results Total of 73 eligible studies were included in this study.There was a statistically significant difference in the risk of ESA between the population with AIDs and the population with normal pregnancy(OR=1.832,95％CI:1.619-2.073).When subgroup studies of AIDs were performed,the increased risk of ESA in patients with some AIDs was statistically significant:e.g.,thyroid autoimmunity,antiphospholipid syndrome,systemic lupus erythematosus,desiccation syndrome,antinuclear antibody positivity and rheumatoid arthritis.While the impact of some AIDs on ESA was still uncertain,e.g.inflammatory bowel disease,ulcerative colitis,Crohn's disease,autoimmune skin diseases,neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders.In addition,patients with antiphospholipid syndrome who had underwent assisted reproductive technologies were at higher risk of ESA.Furthermore,compared to other continents,there is a difference in the risk of ESA in patients with AIDs in Africa.Conclusion AIDs are associated with the risk of ESA.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of transurethral 450 nm semiconductor blue laser vaporization enucleation and transurethral resection of bladder tumor(TURBT)in the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer(NMIBC).Methods The clinical data of 85 NMIBC patients undergoing surgical treatment at Yingsheng Branch of Taian Central Hospital during Dec.2022 and Feb.2024 were retrospectively collected.The patients were divided into the blue laser group(n=40)and TURBT group(n=45).The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative bladder irrigation time,postoperative catheter indwelling time,postoperative hospital stay,intraoperative complications,wound healing 3 and 6 months after operation,and tumor recurrence 1 year after operation were compared between the two groups.Results Patients in both groups successfully completed the operation without blood transfusion or conversion to open surgery.Compared with the TURBT group,the blue laser group had shorter operation time[(23.68±9.98)min vs.(29.11±14.27)min],less blood loss[(1.43±0.87)g/L vs.(3.27±0.96)g/L],and shorter postoperative bladder irrigation time[0.5(0.5,0.5)d vs.0.5(0.5,1.5)d](P＜0.05).No cases developed obturator nerve reflexes in the blue laser group,but 7 cases in the TURBT group(P＜0.05).Three months after operation,the bladder wounds healed in 24 cases in the blue laser group,but only in 7 cases in the TURBT group(P＜0.01).Conclusion Compared with TURBT,transurethral 450 nm semiconductor blue laser vaporization enucleation for the treatment of NMIBC can shorten the operation time,reduce the amount of bleeding,shorten the postoperative healing time,and cause fewer complications.It is a safe and efficient minimally invasive surgery.

OBJECTIVE To introduce a case of interstitial pneumonia induced by vedolizumab （VDZ）， summarize and analyze the characteristics of the occurrence of VDZ-associated lung toxicity， and provide a reference for the clinically safe use of drugs. METHODS From the perspective of clinical pharmacists， the diagnosis and treatment of a case of VDZ-induced interstitial pneumonia were retrospectively analyzed， and the association of adverse drug reactions （ADR） was analyzed. Retrieving from Chinese and English databases such as CNKI， VIP， PubMed and Web of Science， case reports of VDZ-associated lung toxicity were summarized and analyzed. RESULTS The patient developed interstitial pneumonia during the use of VDZ and empirical anti- infective therapy with antibiotics was ineffective. After withdrawal of VDZ and treatment with methylprednisolone， symptoms and imaging examinations improved， but interstitial pneumonia still existed. According to Naranjo’s ADR evaluation scale and based on China Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting and Monitoring Manual， the association between VDZ and interstitial pneumonia was “very likely”. Results of the literature analysis showed that among 29 involved patients （including the patient reported in this article）， there were 19 males and 10 females， with an average age of （49.24±17.06） years. Lung toxicity mainly included VDZ- associated pneumonia， eosinophilic pneumonia， pulmonary granulomas or necrobiotic nodules， interstitial lung injury， etc.， which mostly occurred ≤24 weeks after medication （58.62%）. The main clinical manifestations included cough， dyspnea and fever. The vast majority of patients improved or recovered after drug withdrawal and/or glucocorticoid treatment， but one patient died of respiratory failure. CONCLUSIONS Lung toxicity is a rare ADR of VDZ with insidious onset and nonspecific symptoms. Once patients experience symptoms such as cough and dyspnea， early diagnosis，timely drug withdrawal，and symptomatic treatment measures such as glucocorticoid should be taken to ensure medication safety.

This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of Morinda officinalis iridoid glycosides (MOIG) on bone loss of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rats, and the mechanism of osteoclast function and activity induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). RA rats were established by injecting bovin type II collagen. The Bio-ethic Committee of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University approved all experimental protocols associated with this study (IACUC-20180410-03). The collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rats were administered drug by gavage for 8 weeks; the femoral trabecular micro-structure changes were observed in CIA rats by micro-CT; the LPS-induced osteoclasts model further observed the effect and mechanism of anti-inflammatory osteoporosis in vitro. The results indicated that MOIG could markedly increase bone mineral density (BMD) in CIA rats, improve trabecular micro-structure. In vitro studies demonstrated that MOIG could significantly inhibit osteoclastogensis and differentiation, suppress tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity, F-actin ring formation, TNF receptor associated factor 6 (TRAF6) recruitment, and inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-Bα (IκBα) degradation as well as p65 phosphorylation, thereby repressing nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway activation. Subsequently, MOIG effectively inhibited osteoclast nuclear factor of activated T-cells c1 (NFATc1) and cellular oncogene Fos (c-Fos) expression, as well as bone resorption related protein activity including matrix metalloprotein 9 (MMP-9) and cathepsin K (CtsK). Meanwhile, MOIG also repressed the phosphorylation expression of Janus activating kinase 2 (JAK2) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), thereby inhibiting JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway activation. Moreover, further studies found that MOIG could suppress glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) activity, and GSK-3β gene silencing could markedly inhibit oetsoclast F-actin ring formation as well as the phosphorylation expression of p65 and STAT3. Of note, compared with GSK-3β gene silencing group, there was no significant difference in the group treated with both MOIG with GSK-3β gene silencing simultaneously. Thus, the results suggested that MOIG may inhibit NF-κB signaling pathway and JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway activation via regulating GSK-3β, thereby alleviating bone destruction in RA.
