This study was aimed at understanding the resistance status of dairy cow-derived Streptococcus strains in China,and providing scientific guidance for the rational use of antimicrobials and the development of new antimicrobials.Meta-analysis was used to explore the resistance of Streptococcus strains to 20 antimicrobials between 2000 and 2023.A total of 67 articles de-scribing 3 154 strains were included after a literature search,and a meta-analysis was conducted on the overall collection area according to time subgroups for 20 antimicrobials.Streptococci of dairy origin in China showed varying resistance rates(≥30%),as follows:penicillin(60%,95%CI=0.48-0.72),streptomycin(57%,95%CI=0.46-0.68),cotrimoxazole(56%,95%CI=0.28-0.82),lincomycin(51%,95%CI=0.26-0.76),tetracycline(49%,95%CI=0.40-0.59),doxycyc-line(42%,95%CI=0.24-0.60),clindamycin(41%,95%CI=0.28-0.54),ampicillin(39%,95%CI=0.27-0.52),e-rythromycin(37%,95%CI=0.28-0.45),kanamycin(36%,95%CI=0.20-0.54),and amoxicillin(30%,95%CI=0.10-0.53).On the basis of findings in the collection area,the resistance rates of dairy cow-derived Streptococcus to antimicrobials in Northeast China and Southwest China was generally high.The resistance rates of Streptococcus from dairy cattle to antimi-crobial drugs such as tetracycline,doxycycline,and lincomycin increased significantly over time.However,the resistance rates to antimicrobial drugs such as streptomycin,gentamicin,and enrofloxacin showed a significant decreasing trend.Dairy cow-de-rived Streptococcus had high resistance to some antimicrobials,and the resistance varied by region,because of differences in breeding and management.Monitoring of antimicrobial resistance rates,enhancing research on resistance mechanisms,and reg-ulating the use of antimicrobials remain necessary.

In view of the characteristics of H5N6 subtype avian influenza virus(AIV)that it has both high pathogenicity and the risk of cross-species transmission,posing a serious threat to the poultry farming industry and public health security,in order to effectively prevent and control the spread of H5N6 avian influenza,a rapid,sensitive and specific detection technolo-gy was established in this study.The specific monoclonal antibodies against the neuraminidase N6 protein of avian influenza A virus subtype H5N6 were obtained through hybridoma and monoclonal antibody technology.These antibodies were coupled and labeled with carboxyl-functionalized fluorescent quantum dots,along with previously prepared specific antibodies against the hemagglutinin H5 protein.A rapid fluorescence immunochromatographic detection method for the H5N6 subtype of avian influ-enza virus was established according to the principle of double-antibody sandwich immunochromatography.This method a-chieved a detection sensitivity of 1 ng/mL for recombinant hemagglutinin H5 subtype protein and 0.1 ng/mL for recombinant neuraminidase N6 subtype protein.Moreover,the method exhibited no cross-reactivity with other influenza subtypes or patho-gens,such as Newcastle disease(ND),infectious bronchitis(IB),and infectious laryngotracheitis(ILT),thus demonstrating good specificity.The method effectively identified the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5 subtype and directly distin-guished the H5N6 subtype with good accuracy.The fluorescent quantum dot immunochromatographic typing detection method established herein met the sensitivity,specificity,and accuracy requirements for H5N6 subtype detection,and can be further used for rapid detection of the H5 and H5N6 subtypes of avian influenza virus.

Objective:To investigate the treatment strategies for vesicovaginal fistula(VVF)in women following cervical cancer radiotherapy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 33 female patients with post-radiotherapy VVF after cervical cancer treatment at Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital between January 2020 and June 2024. The patients were categorized into three groups based on surgical approaches:Group A(11 patients):Underwent prone-position VVF repair. Mean age:(50.0±9.6)years;mean radiotherapy sessions:(22.6±2.2). All had simple VVF without concurrent intestinal or surrounding soft-tissue fistulas. Among them,1 patient previously received laparoscopic VVF repair,1 transvaginal VVF repair,and 2 gracilis muscle flap packing for VVF repair. One month prior to surgery,the average daily usage of urine pads was 16.7(12.8,25.7)pieces,and the quality of life(QOL)score stood at 4.0(4.0,5.0)points. Preoperative cystoscopy revealed that 8 cases had fistulas located in the trigonal region of the bladder,while 3 cases had fistulas on the posterior bladder wall. The diameter of the fistula openings,measured under a microscope,was 1.2(0.8,1.6)cm. Based on the Goh classification criteria for vesicovaginal fistulas,this group included 3 cases of type 1,4 cases of type 2,2 cases of type 3,and 2 cases of type 4;7 cases of type A and 4 cases of type B;as well as 3 cases of typeⅠ,7 cases of type Ⅱ,and 1 case of type Ⅲ.Group B(20 patients):Underwent gracilis muscle flap packing for VVF repair. Mean age:(58.6±8.8)years;mean radiotherapy sessions:(29.8±3.9). Three patients had concurrent rectovaginal fistulas and received colostomy for fecal diversion. History of previous interventions:3 had laparoscopic VVF repair,4 transvaginal VVF repair,and 1 both transvaginal and laparoscopic VVF repair. One month prior to surgery,the average daily usage of urine pads was 19.7(15.8,27.7)pieces,and the QOL score stood at 5.0(5.0,6.0)points. Preoperative cystoscopy revealed that 13 cases had fistulas located in the trigonal region of the bladder,while 7 cases had fistulas on the posterior bladder wall. The diameter of the fistula openings,measured under a microscope,was 1.8(1.0,3.2)cm. Based on the Goh classification criteria for vesicovaginal fistulas,this group included 4 cases of type 1,9 cases of type 2,3 cases of type 3,and 4 cases of type 4;6 cases of type A,11 cases of type B and 3 cases of type C;as well as 1 cases of type Ⅱ,and 19 case of type Ⅲ. Group C(2 patients):Underwent ureterocutaneous diversion. Ages:67 and 73 years;radiotherapy sessions:51 and 60,respectively. Both had concurrent rectovaginal fistulas and bladder soft-tissue fistulas. The patient presented with recurrent thigh abscesses accompanied by fever. One month prior to surgery,the daily usage of urine pads was 29 and 23 pieces,respectively,and the QOL score was 6 points. Cystoscopic examination revealed that the vesicovaginal fistulas were located in the trigone of the bladder,with diameters of 3 cm and 4 cm,respectively. Additionally,partial defects were noted in the ventral wall of the urethra,while no bladder soft tissue fistulas were detected. According to the Goh classification for vesicovaginal fistulas,both cases were categorized as type 4,type C,and type Ⅲ. For Groups A and B,urinary catheters were indwelled for 3 weeks postoperatively,then removed to assess spontaneous urination and incontinence. QOL was evaluated,with a minimum 6-month follow-up. For confirmed postoperative VVF recurrence,re-repair was performed 3?6 months later based on patient preference. For Group C,double-J stents were placed in the ureters,and stoma bags were applied 3 days postoperatively. Stents were replaced every 1?2 months,with QOL assessment. Successful fistula repair in Groups A and B was defined as the absence of vaginal leakage confirmed by cystoscopy after six months of the procedure with no vaginal leakage. For Group C,surgical success was determined by the resolution of perineal urinary leakage and improvement in QOL.Results:All 33 patients completed surgery successfully. Group A:Follow-up duration:16.3(9.6,24.6)months. Surgical repair succeeded in 7 patients,with unobstructed spontaneous urination and no vaginal incontinence. Four patients had VVF recurrence:2 refused further treatment,and 2 underwent repeat gracilis muscle flap packing. One was successfully repaired,while one recurrence case refused further treatment. Group B:Follow-up duration:17.0(9.5,24.8)months(8?32 months). Thirteen patients restored spontaneous urination without recurrence. Seven had recurrence:5 refused further surgery,and 2 underwent re-repair. One repair succeeded without incontinence,while one recurrence case refused treatment. Group C:Follow-up durations were 6 and 22 months. Perineum remained dry without incontinence(no urine pads needed),and no recurrence of thigh soft-tissue redness/infection occurred. QOL scores were 2 and 3,respectively.Conclusions:Post-radiotherapy VVF in women after cervical cancer presents complex and variable conditions. The primary goal of treatment should be to improve patients’ quality of life. Treatment approaches should be selected based on the complexity of urinary fistulas and local tissue conditions. In general,patients who are younger,have received lower doses of radiation therapy,present with smaller fistula diameters,have well-vascularized and elastic perifistular tissues,and have no concurrent tissue fistulas are candidates for prone-position VVF repair. Patients who do not meet the criteria for transvaginal repair,have a history of at least two previous repair attempts,or have concurrent vaginorectal fistulas require gracilis muscle flap packing for VVF repair. Patients with three or more types of concurrent tissue fistulas,extensive pale and inelastic perifistular tissues,and who are not amenable to repair surgery undergo ureterocutaneous diversion.

This report described a case of hereditary thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) with neonatal onset. The infant presented with facial petechiae, jaundice, progressive thrombocytopenia, and persistent bleeding at puncture sites shortly after birth. Plasma ADAMTS13 activity was<1%. Whole-exome sequencing identified heterozygous variants in ADAMTS13: c.3121C>T and c.1869delT, inherited from the father and mother, respectively. The infant improved following exchange transfusion and phototherapy. Post-discharge, prophylactic fresh frozen plasma infusion was administered every 3-4 weeks. At the 2-year follow-up, no abnormalities were observed. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and intervention in neonates with unexplained thrombocytopenia, severe non-hemolytic jaundice, and anemia to ensure survival and improve prognosis.

Nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), predominantly affecting the elderly, can lead to intractable pain, vertebral collapse, progressive kyphotic deformity, and neurological impairment, significantly compromising patients′ quality of life. There exists considerable debate on diagnosis and management of OVF, encompassing key issues such as clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for nonunion, surgical indications and procedure selection, and postoperative rehabilitation planning. Currently, there lacks standardized clinical guideline and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of OVF nonunion in China. To address this gap, Minimally Invasive Surgery Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Osteoporosis Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Prevention and Rehabilitation Committee for Osteoporosis of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine and Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Branch of China Association for Geriatric Care jointly organized domestic experts in spinal surgery, endocrinology, and rehabilitation to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures ( version 2025), based on existing literature and clinical experience and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and practicality. The guideline provided 13 evidence-based recommendations encompassing diagnosis and treatment of OVF nonunion, aiming to standardize its clinical management.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of 18F-NaF PET/CT coronary plague imaging in evaluating the long-term prognosis of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted among 54 patients (37 males and 17 females, aged (57.2±9.8) years) diagnosed with CAD from a multicenter study between September 2015 and October 2022. All patients underwent 18F-NaF PET/CT and coronary angiography (CAG) within 1 week, and the PET/CT imaging was performed at the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were followed up. ROC curves were established to obtain the optimal thresholds of SUV max and accumulated SUV max of all lesions of main coronary artery branches (S-SUV max) for predicting MACE. Cox proportional risk model and Kaplan-Meier method (log-rank test) were used to analyze the predictive value of PET parameters for MACE. Differences in metabolic parameters between 2 groups were compared by Mann-Whitney U test. Results:The median follow-up time of the 54 patients was 6.0(1.8, 6.6) years, and 13(24.1%) patients developed MACE, including 7 deaths, 5 myocardial infarction and 1 severe arrhythmia. S-SUV max in MACE group was significantly higher than that in the non-MACE group (2.64(2.08, 4.49) vs 1.83(0.95, 2.90); Z=-2.04, P=0.041). ROC curve showed that the optimal threshold of S-SUV max for MACE prediction was 2.05 (AUC=0.690). Multivariate Cox analysis showed that S-SUV max was a strong predictor of MACE (hazard ratio ( HR)=2.434(95% CI: 1.547-3.828), P<0.001). ROC curve showed that the optimal threshold of SUV max to predict MACE was 0.55 (AUC=0.659), and univariate Cox analysis showed that SUV max was a factor to predict MACE ( HR=10.192 (95% CI: 2.667-38.953), P=0.001). In 25 patients with incomplete revascularization (ICR), Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the incidence of MACE in patients with positive 18F-NaF uptake (single medium stenosis (40%-70%) with SUV max≥0.55) was significantly higher than that in patients with negative 18F-NaF uptake (5/14 vs 0/11; χ2=6.07, P=0.014). Conclusions:18F-NaF PET/CT can be used as an independent predictor of MACE in patients with CAD and can quantitatively assess the long-term progression of moderate coronary artery stenosis. In the future, it is expected to be a new non-invasive way to guide the revascularization treatment decision of multi-vessel CAD.

Objective:
This study aimed to explore the correlation between balance function and core muscle activation in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), compared to healthy individuals.
Methods:
A total of 24 AIS patients and 25 healthy controls were recruited. The limits of stability (LOS) test were conducted to assess balance function, while surface electromyography was used to measure the activity of core muscles, including the internal oblique, external oblique, and multifidus. Diaphragm thickness was measured using ultrasound during different postural tasks. Center of pressure (COP) displacement and trunk inclination distance were also recorded during the LOS test.
Results:
AIS patients showed significantly greater activation of superficial core muscles, such as the internal and external oblique muscles, compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Diaphragm activation was lower in AIS patients during balance tasks (p < 0.01). Although no significant difference was observed in COP displacement between the groups, trunk inclination was significantly greater in the AIS group during certain tasks (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
These findings suggest distinct postural control patterns in AIS patients, highlighting the importance of targeted interventions to improve balance and core muscle function in this population.
