Objective:To investigate the clinical distribution characteristics changes in antimicrobial resistance, and carbapenemase resistance genes of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from children in Chongqing region during the period of January 2019 to December 2024, providing a basis for the rational use of antibiotics and the prevention and control of nosocomial infections.Methods:An observational study was conducted to retrospectively analyze 5 020 Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) isolates detected in four hospitals of the Southwest Pediatric Laboratory Specialty Alliance. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by the minimum inhibitory concentration method combined with the disk diffusion method. Results were interpreted according to the 2024 Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) standards. Carbapenemase resistance genes were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with Sanger sequencing. WHONET 5.6 was used for resistance analysis and SPSS 19.0 for statistical analysis. The chi-square test was used to assess trends in resistance rates, ESBL detection rates, and resistance rates of different CRKP carbapenemase genotypes from 2019 to 2024. Statistical significance was confirmed if the two-tailed P-value was <0.05. Results:A total of 5 020 strains were isolated, with a detection rate of 5.1% (5 020/99 063). The majority were from sputum (59.2%, 2 970/5 020), followed by pus (17.1%, 857), urine (9.7%, 487), venous blood (6.5%, 326), secretions (2.6%, 130), and other specimens (5.0%, 250).The lowest resistance rate was to amikacin (3.8%), followed by levofloxacin (10.9%), imipenem (19.1%), and meropenem (19.9%). Resistance rates to cefoperazone/sulbactam ( χ2=9.982 0, P=0.001 6), piperacillin/tazobactam ( χ2=10.110 0, P=0.001 5), ceftazidime ( χ2=3.849 0, P=0.049 8), cefotaxime ( χ2=7.605 0, P=0.005 8), cefepime ( χ2=13.510 0, P=0.000 2), aztreonam ( χ2=6.457 0, P=0.011 1), imipenem ( χ2=4.672 0, P=0.030 7), and levofloxacin ( χ2=7.555 0, P=0.006 0) showed an annual increasing trend. The main carbapenemase genes were blaNDM-5 (42.2%, 127/301), blaNDM-1 (33.9%, 102/301), and blaKPC-2 (17.3%, 52/301). Patients with KPC-2-producing strains (median age, 240 days) were older than those with NDM-1/NDM-5-producing strains (median age, 40 days) ( χ2=22.620 0, P<0.000 1). In neonatal wards, the detection rate of NDM-KP was higher than that of KPC-KP (64.6%, 148/229 vs. 26.9%, 14/52, χ2=24.680 0, P<0.000 1), whereas in ICUs, it was lower (6.1%, 14/229 vs. 26.9%, 14/52, χ2=20.450 0, P<0.000 1). Conclusion:In Chongqing region, the isolation rate of K. pneumoniae from sputum was the highest with most cases from neonatal wards. Resistance to carbapenems showed an upward trend. BlaNDM-5 was the predominant genotype in pediatric CRKP. Patients with KPC-KP were older than those with NDM-KP. NDM-KP predominated in neonatal wards, while KPC-KP predominated in ICUs, with KPC-KP showing higher antimicrobial resistance.

Hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) is one of the main causes of disability in middle-aged and elderly people, as well as high mortality rates and long-term physical impairments in newborns. The pathological manifestations of HIBD include neuronal damage and loss of myelin sheaths. Tau protein is an important microtubule-associated protein in brain, exists in neurons and oligodendrocytes, and regulates various cellular activities such as cell differentiation and maturation, axonal transport, and maintenance of cellular cytoskeleton structure. Phosphorylation is a common chemical modification of Tau. In physiological condition, it maintains normal cell cytoskeleton and biological functions by regulating Tau structure and function. In pathological conditions, it leads to abnormal Tau phosphorylation and influences its structure and functions, resulting in Tauopathies. Studies have shown that brain hypoxia-ischemia could cause abnormal alteration in Tau phosphorylation, then participating in the pathological process of HIBD. Meanwhile, brain hypoxia-ischemia can induce oxidative stress and inflammation, and multiple Tau protein kinases are activated and involved in Tau abnormal phosphorylation. Therefore, exploring specific molecular mechanisms by which HIBD activates Tau protein kinases, and elucidating their relationship with abnormal Tau phosphorylation are crucial for future researches on HIBD related treatments. This review aims to focus on the mechanisms of the role of Tau phosphorylation in HIBD, and the potential relationships between Tau protein kinases and Tau phosphorylation, providing a basis for intervention and treatment of HIBD.

In recent years,the number of Chest Pain Centers in China has increased rapidly.As of December 2024,there were 5 947 registered units of Chest Pain Centers nationwide,2 994 of which had passed the acceptance.As of April 2025,18.34 million acute chest pain cases have been treated at Chest Pain Centers nationwide,according to the Chest Pain Center reporting platform.The Chest Pain Centers treated more than 3.62 million patients with acute chest pain in 2024,including more than 770 000 patients with acute myocardial infarction,and achieved positive results:significantly increasing the proportion of reperfusion therapy for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients,ensuring the treatment of myocardial infarction patients in a short time,shortening the length of patient hospitalization,and reducing the hospitalization costs and mortality of patients.Through the construction of Chest Pain Center,the treatment process was significantly optimized and the prognosis of patients was improved.At present,the construction and quality control of Chest Pain Centers still need to be further promoted.In some areas,the construction proportion of Chest Pain Centers and the level of diagnosis and treatment of chest pain need to be improved,patient delay is still an important challenge for the treatment of acute chest pain in China.

This study aims to investigate the ameliorating effect of Corni Fructus(CF) on the myocardial ischemic injury and the pharmacokinetic properties of characteristic components of CF. The mouse model of isoproterenol-induced myocardial ischemia was established and administrated with the aqueous extract of CF. The general efficacy of CF in ameliorating the myocardial ischemic injury was evaluated based on the cardiac histopathology and the levels of myocardial injury markers: creatine kinase isoenzyme(CK-MB) and cardiac troponin I(cTn-I). The metabolomics analysis was carried out for the heart and serum samples of mice to screen the biomarkers of CF in ameliorating the myocardial ischemic injury and then the predicted biomarkers were submitted to metabolic pathway enrichment. The pharmacokinetic analysis was performed for morroniside, loganin, and cornuside Ⅰ in mouse heart and serum samples to obtain the pharmacokinetic parameters of these components. The pharmacokinetic parameters were then integrated on the basis of self-defined weighting coefficients to simulate an integrated pharmacokinetic profile of CF iridoid glycosides in the heart and serum of the mouse model of myocardial ischemia. The results indicated that CF reduced the pathological damage to cardiac cells and tissue(hematoxylin-eosin staining) and lowered the levels of CK-MB and cTn-I in the serum of the mouse model of myocardial ischemia(P<0.01). Metabolomics analysis screed out 31 endogenous metabolites in the heart and 35 in the serum as biomarkers of CF in ameliorating the myocardial ischemic injury. These biomarkers were altered by modeling and restored by CF. Six metabolic pathways in the heart and 5 in the serum were enriched based on these metabolic markers. The main integrated pharmacokinetic parameters of CF iridoid glycosides were T_(max)=1 h, t_(1/2)=(1.52±0.05) h in the heart and T_(max)=1 h, t_(1/2)=(1.56±0.50) h in the serum. Both concentration-time curves showed a double-peak phenomenon. In conclusion, CF demonstrated the cardioprotective effect by regulating metabolic pathways such as taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, and pantothenic acid and coenzyme A biosynthesis. The integrated pharmacokinetics reflect the general pharmacokinetic properties of characteristic components in CF.

Metabonomics and proteomics were employed to investigate the mechanism of Yuzhi Zhixue Granules in treating polycystic ovary syndrome with insulin resistance(PCOS-IR). The disease model was established by feeding a high-fat diet and gavage of letrozole solution and it was then treated with different doses of Yuzhi Zhixue Granules. The therapeutic effect of Yuzhi Zhixue Granules was evaluated based on the body mass, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance and insulin sensitivity index, serum levels of adipokines, and histopathological changes of rats. Metabolomics and proteomics were employed to find the action pathways of Yuzhi Zhixue Granules. The results showed that Yuzhi Zhixue Granules reduced the body mass, improved the insulin sensitivity and aromatase activity, improved the levels of leptin, adiponectin and other adipokines, and alleviated insulin resistance, histopathological changes, and metabolic disorders in PCOS-IR rats. Metabolomics results revealed 14 metabolites with altered levels in the ovarian tissue, which were closely related to glutathione metabolism and pyruvate metabolism. Proteomics results showed that the therapeutic effect of Yuzhi Zhixue Granules was mainly related to the adipokine, adenosine 5'-monophosphate(AMP)-activated protein kinase(AMPK), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B(PI3K/Akt), forkhead box protein O(FoxO), and mechanistic target of rapamycin(mTOR) signaling pathways. Western blot results showed that compared with the model group, Yuzhi Zhixue Granules treatment decreased the p-AMPK/AMPK and p-FoxO1/FoxO1 levels, increased the p-mTOR/mTOR level, and up-regulated the expression level of recombinant glucose transporter 4(GLUT4). Yuzhi Zhixue Granules can balance amino acid metabolism and pyruvate metabolism by regulating the AMPK/mTOR/FoxO/GLUT pathway to maintain the homeostasis of the ovarian environment and alleviate insulin resistance, thus treating PCOS-IR.

Based on the interleukin-17(IL-17) signaling pathway, this study explores the effect and mechanism of Bufei Decoction on Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia in rats. SD rats were randomly divided into the control group, model group, Bufei Decoction low-dose group(6.68 g·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)), Bufei Decoction high-dose group(13.36 g·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)), and dexamethasone group(1.04 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)), with 10 rats in each group. A pneumonia model was established by tracheal drip injection of K. pneumoniae. After successful model establishment, the improvement in lung tissue damage was observed following drug administration. Core targets and signaling pathways were screened using transcriptomics techniques. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the mRNA expression of core targets interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-1β(IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), and chemokine CXC ligand 6(CXCL6). Western blot was used to assess key proteins in the IL-17 signaling pathway, including interleukin-17A(IL-17A), nuclear transcription factor-κB activator 1(Act1), tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6(TRAF6), and downstream phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(p-p38 MAPK), and phosphorylated nuclear factor-κB p65(p-NF-κB p65). Apoptosis of lung tissue cells was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling(TUNEL). The results showed that, compared with the control group, the model group exhibited significant pathological damage in lung tissue. The mRNA expression of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and CXCL6, as well as the protein levels of IL-17A, Act1, TRAF6, p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK, and p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65, were significantly increased, and the number of apoptotic cells was notably higher, indicating successful model establishment. Compared with the model group, both low-and high-dose groups of Bufei Decoction showed reduced pathological damage in lung tissue. The mRNA expression levels of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and CXCL6, and the protein levels of IL-17A, Act1, TRAF6, p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK, and p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65, were significantly decreased, with a significant reduction in apoptotic cells in the high-dose group. In conclusion, Bufei Decoction can effectively improve lung tissue damage and reduce inflammation in rats with K. pneumoniae. The mechanism may involve the regulation of the IL-17 signaling pathway and the reduction of apoptosis.
