Objective To summarize the changing prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Enterobacterales based on the data of CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021 for improving antimicrobial treatment in clinical practice.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using a commercial automated susceptibility testing system according to the unified CHINET protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints of the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)M100 31st ed in 2021.Results Over the seven-year period(2015-2021),the overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE)was 9.43％(62 342/661 235).The prevalence of CRE strains in Klebsiella pneumoniae,Citrobacter freundii,and Enterobacter cloacae was 22.38％,9.73％,and 8.47％,respectively.The prevalence of CRE strains in Escherichia coli was 1.99％.A few CRE strains were also identified in Salmonella and Shigella.The CRE strains were mainly isolated from respiratory specimens(44.23±2.80)％,followed by blood(20.88±3.40)％and urine(18.40±3.45)％.Intensive care units(ICUs)were the major source of the CRE strains(27.43±5.20)％.CRE strains were resistant to all the β-lactam antibiotics tested and most non-β-lactam antimicrobial agents.The CRE strains were relatively susceptible to tigecycline and polymyxins with low resistance rates.Conclusions The prevalence of CRE strains was increasing from 2015 to 2021.CRE strains were highly resistant to most of the antibacterial drugs used in clinical practice.Clinicians should prescribe antimicrobial agents rationally.Hospitals should strengthen antibiotic stewardship in key clinical settings such as ICUs,and take effective infection control measures to curb CRE outbreak and epidemic in hospitals.

Laccase is a type of polyphenol oxidase that can catalyze the oxidation of various substances,including phenols,aromatic amines,and catecholamines.It has been widely utilized in pollutant degradation and analytical applications.However,the high cost of preparation of natural laccase and its susceptibility to environmental factors,which can lead to denaturation and inactivation,limit its practical applications.Nanozymes,which are nanomaterials that exhibit enzyme-like properties,offer advantages such as easy preparation,adjustable activity,and exceptional stability.Currently,many types of nanozymes have been developed.Inspired by the coordination of Cu2+with amino acids in the active site of natural laccase,researchers have employed coordination synthetic strategies to prepare laccase-like nanozymes.The metal nodes in these laccase-like nanozymes include copper,manganese,and cerium,while the ligands involve a variety of chemicals like nucleotides,amino acids,polypeptides,and aromatic acids.By manipulating factors such as the metal-to-ligand ratio,reducing capacity of ligands,buffer solutions,chloride ions,bromine ions,the catalytic activity of laccase-like nanozymes can be finely tuned.In this paper,laccase-like nanozymes developed through coordination strategies were categorized and summarized,along with review of their analytical applications in detection of phenolic compounds,disease biomarkers,antibiotics,pesticides,sulfur-containing pollutants,and time-temperature indicators.Furthermore,the challenges currently faced in the research of laccase-like nanozymes and future research directions were discussed.

AIM To investigate the variations in mercury dissolution from HgS-containing traditional medicines in three kinds of simulated gastrointestinal dissolution media.METHODS 39 batches of 15 types of HgS-containing traditional medicines were collected,total mercury content and dissolved mercury concentrations in simulated gastric fluid,simulated intestinal fluid,and L-cysteine-containing simulated intestinal fluid were measured.The maximum daily intake of total mercury and soluble mercury was calculated based on the maximum daily clinical dosage.RESULTS Among the 15 types of medicines,the maximum daily intake of total mercury varied by 156 times,the daily intake of soluble mercury varied by 3 502 times in simulated gastric fluid,313 times in simulated intestinal fluid,and 10 663 times in L-cysteine-containing simulated intestinal fluid,approximately.CONCLUSION For the 15 types of HgS-containing traditional medicines,the daily maximum intake of soluble mercury showed greater variations than that of total mercury.Soluble mercury concentration is more closely correlated with intestinal absorption of mercury and thus represents a more rational quality control indicator for HgS-containing traditional medicines.

Objective:To explore the safety and short-term efficacy of single-port robotic transanal total mesorectal excision (SPr-taTME).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of six patients who underwent SPr-taTME at Daping Hospital of Army Medical University from October to November 2024 were collected. There were 3 males and 3 females, aged (65±5)years. Observation indicators: (1) intraoperative situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribution were represen-ted as Mean± SD, measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Intraoperative situations. All patients successfully underwent SPr-taTME without conversion to laparotomy or blood transfusion. There was no intraoperative complication such as accidental hemorrhage or adjacent organ injury. No intra-operative adverse events or mortality occurred. The operation time of the 6 patients was 286(range, 240?400)minutes. The time of transanal platform setup and robotic docking was (21±10)minutes, transanal dissection time was (97±45)minutes, and transabdominal dissection time was (90±35)minutes. The volume of intraoperative blood loss was (47±14)mL. Among the six patients, 1 case underwent synchronous transanal and transabdominal surgery, while 5 cases underwent non-synchronous procedures. Specimens were extracted transanally in 5 cases and via an auxiliary abdominal incision in 1 case. The single-port robotic platform was utilized for the abdominal surgery in 3 cases, while laparoscopy was used in 3 cases. Splenic flexure mobilization was performed in 3 cases and omitted in the other 3 cases. Three patients underwent hand-sewn sigmoid colon-anal anastomosis, 1 case underwent modified Bacon pull-through anastomosis, 1 case received stapled sigmoidorectal anastomosis, 1 case underwent sigmoid colostomy without anastomosis due to significant bowel edema. Two cases didn′t undergo intestinal stoma, 2 cases underwent virtual ileostomy, 1 case underwent ileostomy, and 1 case underwent sigmoid colostomy. (2) Postoperative situations. All patients started water drinking and out‐of‐bed activities on postoperative day 1 and liquid diet intake on postoperative day 2. The time to postoperative first flatus was 1(range, 1?3)days, and duration of postoperative hospital stay was (8±2)days.The total number of lymph nodes dissected was 13±2, with the number of positive lymph nodes as 0(range, 0?3) and the distance of distal resection margin as (23±8)mm. Pathological examination of 6 patients showed 1 case in stage T1N0, 2 cases in stage ypT0N0, 1 case in ypT1N0, 1 case in ypT3N1, and 1 case in ypT0N1. The degree of mesorectal integrity was complete in 5 patients and nearly complete in 1 patient. The surgical specimens of 6 patients showed negative in distal, proximal and circumferential margin. (3) Follow-up. All 6 patients completed the 30-day postoperative follow-up. None of the patients experienced postoperative complication such as bleeding, intestinal obstruction or anastomotic leakage. There was no readmission within 30 days after surgery. Digital rectal examination or colonoscopy on postoperative 30 day confirmed no anastomosis-related complications, including stenosis, dehiscence or anastomotic leakage. All 6 patients survived.Conclusion:The SPr-taTME is safe and feasible, with satisfactory short-term efficacy.

High altitude heart disease(HAHD)is a chronic mountain sickness in which the body is exposed to high altitude(＞2 500 m)hypobaric hypoxia environment for a long time.HAHD has high morbidity and poor prognosis,and pulmonary hypertension is the main causative mechanism for its develop-ment.The phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor sildenafil has become a hot drug for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension.This paper reviews the progress of HAHD and discusses the mechanism of action and effectiveness of sildenafil in the treatment of HAHD,with a view to providing a basis for the treatment of HAHD with sildenafil.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in the South China region based on pathological tissue biomarkers for regional comparison.Methods:The study population consisted of CRS in-patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from October 2019 to June 2022. Among all the 181 cases, 123 of them were male and 58 were female, with an average age of 40. Retrospectively collected clinical data included demographic information, preoperative symptom scores, preoperative endoscopic images, preoperative paranasal sinus computed tomography scanning images, and inflammatory serological features. In addition, 52 variables of pathological tissue biomarkers including cytokines, chemokines and remodeling factors were collected for analysis. Cluster analysis was performed on the integrated data of training set through centroid-based clustering algorithm, and the inflammatory characteristics, post-operation control status, and airway diseases comorbidity of each endotype were analyzed. R project (version 4.2.2) was used in statistical analysis.Results:Cluster analysis divided 181 patients with CRS into 4 endotypes. Cluster 1 ( n=101, 55.80%) showed a locally low inflammatory status. Cluster 2 ( n=23, 12.71%) showed a mixed type of inflammation with predominantly neutrophilic inflammation and tissue remodeling. Cluster 3 ( n=11, 6.08%) was characterized by type Ⅱ inflammation without tissue remodeling. Cluster 4 ( n=46, 25.41%) was mainly characterized by type Ⅱ inflammation with tissue remodeling, showing higher comorbidity rate of asthma and allergic rhinitis. This cluster presented more severe symptoms, significant olfactory dysfunction, extensive overall inflammation based on objective examination results, a notable increase in total eosinophil count and proportion in peripheral blood, and the highest uncontrolled rate observed one year post-surgery. In comparison to other regions, the endotype classification of CRS in Southern China was characterized by a predominant pattern of locally low inflammatory status, a moderate level of type Ⅱ inflammation with tissue remodeling, and a lesser presence of neutrophilic inflammation. Conclusion:CRS distribution in Southern China is mainly characterized by low inflammatory endotype and type Ⅱ inflammation with tissue remodeling. The latter shows more severe clinical manifestations and higher uncontrol rate after surgery.
