Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5%were gram-positive and 70.5%were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3%,76.7%and 77.9%,respectively.Overall,94.0%of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8%of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2%in the isolates from children and 95.7%in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1%in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7%-23.1%of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1%to 13.3%.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5%in 2019 to 18.0%in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0%in 2019 to 72.5%in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effects of adjustable traction skin stretchers used in repair of wounds at the lower leg, foot and ankle.Methods:A retrospective study was performed to analyze the clinical data of 56 patients who had been treated for skin defects at the lower leg, foot and ankle from August 2016 to September 2022 at The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Honghui Hospital, Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University Medical College, The First Affiliated Hospital of Henan Polytechnic University, and Yunnan Zhongde Orthopedic Hospital. There were 35 males and 21 females, aged (39.9±18.7) years. There were 43 traumatic wounds, 3 burns, 6 inflammatory wounds, 3 relief incisions due to osteofascial compartment syndrome, and 1 scar. The areas of skin defect ranged from 2.5 cm × 2.0 cm to 20.0 cm × 10.0 cm. The duration of wounds was (8.6±7.8) d. All the wounds were repaired with adjustable traction skin stretchers. The row-hook type of skin stretchers was used in 28 cases, the single-rod type in 20 cases, the single-rod type combined with an external fixator in 5 cases, and a combination of the row-hook type and the single-rod type in 3 cases.The time for wound traction closure, color of wound skin margin, skin swelling around the wound, functional recovery of affected limb and complications were recorded.Results:The time from skin stretching to wound closure was (7.8±3.8) d in the 56 patients. The color of wound skin edge after stretching was normal in 16 cases, dark red in 38 cases, and dark in 2 cases; the skin swelling around the wound was degree 1 in 21 cases, degree 2 in 33 cases, and degree 3 in 2 cases. The 56 patients were followed up for (8.9±4.1) months. Primary wound closure was achieved in 48 patients, and secondary wound closure in 8 patients after repair with an autologous skin graft. Partial skin necrosis occurred due to tension blisters after skin stretching in 2 patients, one of whom was repaired with an autologous skin graft and the other of whom by dressing change. Deep bone infection recurred in 2 patients whose wounds healed after their bone defects were repaired using Ilizarov technique of bone transfer. In the 56 patients, the muscle strength of the lower extremity beyond the wound was recovered to normal, and the range of motion of the joints adjacent to the wound also recovered to normal.Conclusion:In repair of wounds at the lower leg, foot and ankle, adjustable traction skin stretchers can lead to fine clinical effects and limited complications, because the stretchers can control the tension of skin digitally and precisely.

Objective:To preliminarily study the feasibility, safety and efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with selective portal vein embolization (SPVE) before surgical resection in the treatment of large liver cancer.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 17 patients with large liver cancer treated with TACE combined with SPVE from January 2016 to December 2019 at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, the Sixth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital. The study included 15 males and 2 females, aged (59.17±10.30) years. The levels of alanine aminotransferase, tumor changes and patient survival were analyzed before operation, after TACE, and after SPVE.Results:Among the 17 patients, the levels of alanine aminotransferase on the 1st and 3rd day after SPVE was significantly higher than those after TACE [191.4 (30.5-1966.4) IU/L vs 125.3 (35.7-846.2) IU/L on the first day, and 298.5 (24.6-1334.2) IU/L vs 208.6 (21.6-775.6) IU/L on the 3rd day], all P<0.05. One month after the two combined embolism, among the 6 patients with a tumor diameter of 5-10 cm, 2 patients (33.3%) had complete remission, 3 patients (50.0%) had partial remission, and 1 patients (16.6%) had stable disease. For the tumor’s longest diameter, among the 11 patients with tumors >10 cm, 1 patient had complete remission (9.1%), 4 patients had partial remission (36.4%), 5 patients had stable diseases (45.5%), and 1 patient had disease progression (9.1%). Eventually, 11 patients underwent surgical exploration. The median residual liver volume before treatment was 329.5 (284.9-365.7) ml, and after the combined procedure 415.6 (354.7-718.8) ml. The median hyperplasia ratio was 28.1% (14.1%-51.3%). Eight patients finally underwent surgical resection. There was no death in the perioperative periods. The median tumor-free survival time was 17 (7-42) months, and the median survival time was 27 (7-42) months. Conclusion:For patients with large liver cancer with insufficient remnant liver volume, preoperative TACE+ SPVE has certain value in controlling tumor progression, promoting remnant liver hyperplasia, increasing surgical resection rate and improving prognosis.

As a common disease in nervous system, epilepsy is possessed of characteristics of high incidence, suddenness and recurrent seizures. Timely prediction with corresponding rescues and treatments can be regarded as effective countermeasure to epilepsy emergencies, while most accidental injuries can thus be avoided. Currently, how to use electroencephalogram (EEG) signals to predict seizure is becoming a highlight topic in epilepsy researches. In spite of significant progress that made, more efforts are still to be made before clinical applications. This paper reviews past epilepsy studies, including research records and critical technologies. Contributions of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) on seizure predictions have been emphasized. Since feature selection and model generalization limit prediction ratings of conventional ML measures, DL based seizure predictions predominate future epilepsy studies. Consequently, more exploration may be vitally important for promoting clinical applications of epileptic seizure prediction.

【Objective】 Aim of this study was to evaluate performance of two chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) reagents for hepatitis C virus antibodies (anti-HCV) detection, focusing on the feasibility of blood screening for blood donors. 【Methods】 The sero-panel samples from NCCL and the donor samples were tested with CLIA, ECLIA and two ELISA (A: double antigen sandwich method, B: indirect method) reagents synchronously to evaluate their performances respectively, and the sensitivity, specificity and CV of the four reagents were compared. 【Results】 CLIA, ECLIA, A and B reagents showed sensitivities of 99.06%(315/318), 99.69%(317/318), 99.06%(315/318) and 99.69%(317/318), and clinical specificities was 99.06%(315/318), 99.69%(317/318), 99.06%(315/318) and 99.69%(317/318), respectively. Between-run and within-run precision for ECLIA reagent ranged (both CV<8%) was better than two ELISA reagents (between-run: CV <15% and within-run: CV <20%), and the CLIA reagent also met the requirement in blood screening (CVs <14%). 【Conclusion】 This ECLIA reagent showed high sensitivity and good reproducibility together with acceptable specificity in routine sample screening, which proved its further application in blood screening. This CLIA reagent has high specificity and the same sensitivity as indirect ELISA reagent. This CLIA reagent could be used in combination with other reagents with high sensitivity to screen anti-HCV in blood donors.

Objective:
To perform an anatomical observation on the extension of the mesocolon to the mesorectum and the continuity of the fasciae lining the abdomen and pelvis, in order to clarify the appropriate surgical plane of total mesorectal excision.
Methods:
This is an descriptive study. The operation videos of 61 cases (28 males, 33 females, median age of 61) were collected. All the patients underwent laparoscopic colorectal surgery from January 2018 to December 2018 in Yangpu Hospital, including low anterior resection for rectal cancer in 25 cases, left hemicolectomy for descending colon cancer in 15 cases, and subtotal resection of the colon for intractable constipation in 21 cases. Among these 21 constipation patients, 8 received additional modified Duhamel surgeries. Gross anatomy was performed on 24 adult cadavers provided by Department of Anatomy, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, including 23 formalin-fixed and 1 fresh cadaver (12 males, 12 females). Sixty-one patients and 24 cadavers had no previous abdominal or pelvic surgical history. The anatomy and extension of fasciae related to descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum, especially the morphology of Toldt fascia, and the continuities of mesocolon and mesorectum were observed carefully. The distribution characteristics of the fasciae and anatomical landmarks during laparoscopic surgery were recorded and described.
Results:
The anatomical study on 24 cadavers showed that visceral fascia was the densest connective tissue in the pelvic, posterolateral to the rectum, and stretched as a hammock to lift all pelvic organs. Among 61 patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, 36 (59.0%) needed to free the left colon during operation, and Toldt fascia in the descending colon segment presented as potential, avascular and extensible loose connective tissue plane between the mesocolon and posterior Gerota fascia; 33 (54.1%) needed to free the rectum during operation, and Toldt fascia extended downward to pelvis as loose connective tissue between the fascia propria of the rectum and visceral fascia; the fascia propria of the rectum exposed completely in 32 (32/33, 97.0%) cases, which ran downward and fused with visceral fascia at the level of the fourth sacral vertebra. The anatomy of 24 cadavers also showed that fascia propria of the rectum fused with visceral fascia at the level of Waldeyer fascia. The fusion line of these two fasciae was supposed to be the extension of Waldeyer fascia. There were two avascular planes behind the rectum: one between the fascia propria of the rectum and visceral fascia, and the other between the visceral fascia and parietal fascia. In 8 constipation cases undergoing laparoscopic subtotal colon resection plus modified Duhamel operation, both mesocolon and mesorectum needed to be mobilized. It was obvious that the mesocolon of descending colon extended and became the mesocolon of sigmoid colon, and ran further into the pelvic and became the mesorectum. The colon fascia of descending colon served as the natural boundary of mesocolon extended downward as the fascia of sigmoid colon and the fascia propria of the rectum, respectively. Toldt fascia locating between mesocolon of descending colon and Gerota fascia extended to pelvis as the 'presacral space’ between the fascia propria of the rectum and visceral fascia. Gerota fascia in descending colon segment extended as urogenital fascia in sigmoid colon segment and visceral fascia in the pelvis, respectively. In the cadaver anatomy study, the visceral fascia served as a corridor carrying the hypogastric nerve, and ureter was observed in 23 (23/24, 95.8%) cases. The visceral fascia passed from posterior to anterior lateral of rectum, fusing with Denonvilliers fascia in a fan shape. The pelvic plexus located exactly external to the junction of visceral fascia and Denonvilliers fascia. Pelvic splanchnic nerves went through the parietal fascia toward to the inferolateral of the pelvic plexus.
Conclusion
Fascia propria of the rectum and the visceral pelvic fascia are two independent layers of fascia, and the TME surgical plane is between the fascia propria of the rectum and visceral pelvic fascia instead of between the visceral and the parietal pelvic fascia.

Objective To explore the expression of liver fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) in tissues of hilar cholangiocarcinoma and the relationship between expression of L-FABP and clinicopathological factors and prognosis of the patients.Methods The retrospective case-control study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 132 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma who were admitted to the Navy General Hospital between January 2003 and January 2013 were collected.The expression of L-FABP in tumor tissues and adjacent tissues of hilar cholangiocarcinoma and normal bile duct tissues were respectively detected by immunohistochemistry.Observation indicators:(1) expression of L-FABP by immunohistochemistry;(2) relationship between clinicopathological factors of patients and expression of L-FABP in tumor tissues;(3) follow-up and survival situations;(4) prognostic analysis of patients after radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect postoperative overall survival time up to June 2017.Count data were described as percentage and compared using the chi-square test.The survival time was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range).The univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were respectively done using the nonparametric test and COX regression model.Results (1) Expression of L-FABP by immunohistochemistry:the positive expressions of L-FABP were located in the cytoplasm.The low,moderate and high expression rates of L-FABP in tumor tissues were respectively 11.36% (15/132),71.97% (95/132) and 16.67% (22/132),and positive-staining cells showed platy and / or diffuse distribution;the low,moderate and high expression rates of L-FABP in adjacent tissues of hilar cholangiocarcinoma were respectively 77.27% (102/132),7.58% (10/132) and 15.15% (20/132),and positive-staining cells showed scattered or platy distribution,with a weaker staining intensity compared with tumor tissues;there was no positive expression in normal bile duct tissues.There was a statistically significant difference in expressions of L-FABP among tumor tissues and adjacent tissues of hilar cholangiocarcinoma and normal bile duct tissues (x2=5.423,P < 0.05).(2) Relationship between clinicopathological factors of patients and expression of L-FABP in tumor tissues:cases with low,moderate and high expressions of L-FABP in tumor tissues were respectively 10,30,5 in 45 patients with tumor diameter < 3 cm and 4,29,9 in 42 patients with 3 cm ≤ tumor diameter ≤ 5 cm and 1,36,8 in 45 patients with tumor diameter > 5 cm,with a statistically significant difference (x2 =10.171,P< 0.05).(3) Follow-up and survival situations:132 patients were followed up for 5-90 months,with a median time of 33 months.During the followup,postoperative overall median survival time of 132 patients was 31 months.(4) Prognostic analysis of patients after radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma:results of univariate analysis showed that tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis and expressions of L-FABP in tumor tissues were related factors affecting prognosis of patients after radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (Z =1.845,3.156,1.243,P<0.05).Results of multivariate analysis showed that tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis and expressions of L-FABP in tumor tissues were independent factors affecting prognosis of patients after radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (odds ratio =0.431,1.806,3.692,95% confidence interval:0.292-0.693,0.974-2.973,1.875-11.364,P<0.05).Conclusions The high expression of L-FABP in tumor tissues is significantly correlated with the tumor diameter.Tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis and expressions of L-FABP in tumor tissues are independent factors affecting prognosis of patients after radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
