OBJECTIVE: To explore the integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment plan for ankylosing spondylitis complicated with lower cervical spine fracture and dislocation, adopt the treatment plan of preoperative continuous traction, intraoperative prizing reduction combined with anterior long-segment plate-screw and posterior short-segment pedicle screw-rod system internal fixation, and evaluate its surgical efficacy and clinical application value. METHODS: From June 2018 to September 2022, 7 male patients with ankylosing spondylitis complicated with lower cervical spine fractures were admitted, aged 43 to 65 years old. Among them, there was 1 case of C_3,4 fracture, 1 case of C_4,5 fracture, 1 case of C_6,7 fracture, and 4 cases of C_5,6 fracture, all of which were fracture and dislocation. All patients received preoperative continuous skull traction, and intraoperative prizing reduction combined with anterior long-segment plate-screw and posterior short-segment pedicle screw-rod system internal fixation. The Neck Disability Index (NDI), Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, and Frankel scale were used to evaluate the neurological function and quality of life before and after surgery. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate neck and limb pain. The operation time, blood loss, hospital stay, and surgery-related complications were recorded. RESULTS: All 7 patients were followed up for 6 to 24 months after surgery. The operation time of the 7 patients ranged from 300 to 480 minutes, the blood loss ranged from 300 to 1000 ml, and the hospital stay ranged from 8 to 25 days. The preoperative NDI of the 7 patients ranged from 25% to 42%, which decreased to 12% to 30% at 1 week after surgery and 5% to 25% at the last follow-up. The preoperative JOA score ranged from 8 to 13 points, which increased to 12 to 15 points at 1 week after surgery and 13 to 16 points at the last follow-up. The preoperative VAS ranged from 6 to 8 points, which decreased to 2 to 4 points at 1 week after surgery and 0 to 3 points at the last follow-up. Regarding the Frankel grade of neurological function, 2 patients were grade C before surgery and recovered to grade D at the last follow-up after surgery, and the remaining patients recovered to grade E at the last follow-up after surgery. There were 3 cases of pressure ulcers, including 1 case of intraoperative pressure ulcer, 1 case of cervical cerebrospinal fluid leakage, 1 case of screw loosening, and 1 case of aggravated fracture dislocation due to preoperative traction. CONCLUSION Preoperative cervical traction combined with intraoperative prizing reduction and anterior long-segment plate combined with posterior short-segment pedicle screw internal fixation provides a safe and effective surgical option for ankylosing spondylitis complicated with lower cervical spine fracture and dislocation, which can minimize surgical trauma and improve clinical efficacy. However, this study has a small sample size and a short follow-up time for some patients, so further verification with large-sample and long-term follow-up data is still needed.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of the common pathogens isolated from urine from 2015 to 2021 in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program.Methods The bacterial strains were isolated from urine and identified routinely in 51 hospitals across China in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by Kirby-Bauer method,automatic microbiological analysis system and E-test according to the unified protocol.Results A total of 261 893 nonduplicate strains were isolated from urine specimen from 2015 to 2021,of which gram-positive bacteria accounted for 23.8％(62 219/261 893),and gram-negative bacteria 76.2％(199 674/261 893).The most common species were E.coli(46.7％),E.faecium(10.4％),K.pneumoniae(9.8％),E.faecalis(8.7％),P.mirabilis(3.5％),P.aeruginosa(3.4％),SS.agalactiae(2.6％),and E.cloacae(2.1％).The strains were more frequently isolated from inpatients versus outpatients and emergency patients,from females versus males,and from adults versus children.The prevalence of ESBLs-producing strains in E.coli,K.pneumoniae and P.mirabilis was 53.2％,52.8％and 37.0％,respectively.The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant strains in E.coli,K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa and A.baumannii was 1.7％,18.5％,16.4％,and 40.3％,respectively.Lower than 10％of the E.faecalis isolates were resistant to ampicillin,nitrofurantoin,linezolid,vancomycin,teicoplanin and fosfomycin.More than 90％of the E.faecium isolates were ressitant to ampicillin,levofloxacin and erythromycin.The percentage of strains resistant to vancomycin,linezolid or teicoplanin was＜2％.The E.coli,K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa and A.baumannii strains isolated from ICU inpatients showed significantly higher resistance rates than the corresponding strains isolated from outpatients and non-ICU inpatients.Conclusions E.coli,Enterococcus and K.pneumoniae are the most common pathogens in urinary tract infection.The bacterial species and antimicrobial resistance of urinary isolates vary with different populations.More attention should be paid to antimicrobial resistance surveillance and reduce the irrational use of antimicrobial agents.

Objective: To examine the patterning cropped and shaped mesh repair for perineal hernia after abdominoperineal excision (APE) in rectal cancer. Methods: The clinical data of 8 patients with perineal hernia after APE who accepted surgical treatment in the Department of Hepatopancreatobiliary and Hernia Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from March 2017 to December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 3 males and 5 females, aged (67.6±7.2) years (range: 56 to 76 years). Eight patients developed a perineal mass at (11.3±2.9) months (range: 5 to 13 months) after APE. After surgical separation of adhesion and exposing the pelvic floor defect, a 15 cm×20 cm anti-adhesion mesh was fashioned as a three-dimensional pocket shape to fit the pelvic defect, then fixed to the promontory or sacrum and sutured to the pelvic sidewalls and the anterior peritoneum, while two side slender slings were tailored in front of the mesh and fixed on the pectineal ligament. Results: The repair of their perineal hernias went well, with an operating time of (240.6±48.8) minutes (range: 155 to 300 minutes). Five patients underwent laparotomy, 3 patients tried laparoscopic surgery first and then transferred to laparotomy combined with the perineal approach. Intraoperative bowel injury was observed in 3 patients. All patients did not have an intestinal fistula, bleeding occurred. No reoperation was performed and their preoperative symptoms improved significantly. The postoperative hospital stay was (13.5±2.9) days (range: 7 to 17 days) and two patients had postoperative ileus, which improved after conservative treatment. Two patients had a postoperative perineal hernia sac effusion, one of them underwent placement of a tube to puncture the hernia sac effusion due to infection, and continued irrigation and drainage. The postoperative follow-up was (34.8±14.0) months (range: 13 to 48 months), and 1 patient developed recurrence in the seventh postoperative month, no further surgery was performed. Conclusions: Surgical repair of the perineal hernia after APE can be preferred transabdominal approach, routine application of laparoscopy is not recommended, combined abdominoperineal approach can be considered if necessary. The perineal hernia after APE can be repaired safely and effectively using the described technique of patterning cropped and shaped mesh repair.

The historical evolution， fermentation technology and key links of Sojae Semen Praeparatum （SSP） were sorted out by consulting ancient books and modern literature， and the influencing factors and control methods of quality were analyzed and summarized in order to provide reference for the quality control of SSP. After analysis， it was found that in the fermentation process of SSP， fermentation strains， miscellaneous bacteria， temperature and humidity were all important factors affecting the quality of SSP. The condition control of "post fermentation" process has been paid more attention to in the past dynasties. In addition， the delicious SSP recognized in ancient times should be made from mold fermentation， and the breeding and application of fermented mold may be the key point to solve the quality problem of SSP. Therefore， based on the evaluation indexes of SSP in the past dynasties， it is of great significance to study and optimize the technological conditions such as strain， temperature and humidity in depth to improve the quality of SSP.

This study is to evaluate the application of the comprehensive capacity assessment system based on post competence in competitive recruitment of family doctors. Thirty five general practitioners participating in the family doctor post competition in 2019—2020 were graded and ranked by both the post competition method and the comprehensive capacity assessment system of family doctors. The top 32 candidates in terms of total scores were selected as the successful candidates for the family doctor job competition. Kappa test was used to assess the consistency of competition results between the two methods. Among 32 candidates who were qualified according to the 2019—2020 family doctors post competition method, 31 (96.9%) were also qualified for the family doctor′s comprehensive capacity assessment system ( Kappa=0.635, P<0.01).
