Objective:To investigate the spatial distribution patterns of local tumor progression（LTP）after microwave ablation（MWA）for colorectal liver metastases（CRLMs）and identify high-risk progression zones.Methods:A total of 471 CRLM lesions from 246 patients treated with MWA at the Chinese PLA General Hospital between September 2009 and March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Three-dimensional visualized MRI image fusion technology was employed to evaluate the spatial relationship between ablation margins（AM）and LTP. The liver was partitioned into nine specific anatomical regions. Machine learning（Boruta algorithm）was used to assess the importance of these regions on LTP risk. Multivariate analysis of LTP was performed at the tumor level and at the patient level using the Cox mixed effects model and the Cox regression model，respectively.Results:LTP occurred in 115 lesions，with an LTP rate of 40.0%（80/200）in ablated lesions which were located in the high-risk progression area，and 12.9%（35/271）in low-risk progression area. Multivariate analysis identified AM < 5 mm，tumor size ≥3 cm and location in high-risk zones as independent risk factors for LTP. Notably，LTP in high-risk zones predominantly clustered around the ablation needle tip.Conclusions:Post-MWA LTP in CRLMs exhibits distinct spatial clustering，particularly at the needle tip within high-risk progression zones. These findings provide critical insights for optimizing ablation strategies and improving clinical outcomes.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of swallowing training combined with Vitalstim neuromuscular electrical stimulation in patients with dysphagia after stroke for providing a scientific basis for improving the swallowing function.Methods A total of 100 patients with post-stroke dysphagia were enrolled and randomly divided into control group(n=50,conventional swallowing training)and observation group(n=50,conventional swallowing training+Vitalstim neuromuscular electrical stimulation),with a total treatment course of 3 weeks.The swallowing functions before and after treatment was compared between two groups.Results After treatment,observation group scored lower on the water swallow test and the Rosenbek Penetration-Aspiration Scale(P<0.05),while higher on the Functional Oral Intake Scale and the Functional Independence Measure as compared with control group(P<0.05).In addition,the score of Nutritional Risk Screening 2002(NRS2002)was higher in observation group than in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of swallowing training and Vitalstim neuromuscular electrical stimulator can effectively improve the swallowing function of stroke patients and has high clinical application value,worthy of further promotion and research.

Loss-of-function variants in CSDE1 have been strongly linked to neuropsychiatric disorders, yet the precise role of CSDE1 in neurogenesis remains elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that knockout of Csde1 during cortical development in mice results in impaired neural progenitor proliferation, leading to abnormal cortical lamination and embryonic lethality. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that Csde1 upregulates the transcription of genes involved in the cell cycle network. Applying a dual thymidine-labelling approach, we further revealed prolonged cell cycle durations of neuronal progenitors in Csde1-knockout mice, with a notable extension of the G1 phase. Intersection with CLIP-seq data demonstrated that Csde1 binds to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of mRNA transcripts encoding cell cycle genes. Particularly, we uncovered that Csde1 directly binds to the 3' UTR of mRNA transcripts encoding Cdk6, a pivotal gene in regulating the transition from the G1 to S phases of the cell cycle, thereby maintaining its stability. Collectively, this study elucidates Csde1 as a novel regulator of Cdk6, sheds new light on its critical roles in orchestrating brain development, and underscores how mutations in Csde1 may contribute to the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders.

A 30-year-old female patient with acute myeloid leukemia received chemotherapy with IA regimen of cytarabine (200 mg/m 2 once daily by IV infusion, 7 days in total) and idarubicin (10 mg/m 2 once daily by IV infusion, 3 days in total). On the 5th day of treatments, the patient developed dyspnea, with breath rate 35 times/min and finger pulse oxygen saturation 92%. She was treated with high flow oxygen inhalation, but the patient′s dyspnea was aggravated at night, with heart rate 160 times/min and breath rate 50 times/min; the finger pulse oxygen saturation decreased to 50%. Lung CT examination next day showed bilateral alveolar pulmonary edema with interstitial pulmonary edema, which was considered as non- cardiogenic pulmonary edema caused by cytarabine. Chemotherapy drugs were stopped and glucocorticoids, diuresis, lung protective ventilation, prone position ventilation, and other treatments were given, but the patient′s relevant symptoms were not improved. Ten days later, the patient developed secondary pneumothorax and died due to respiratory failure.

ObjectiveTo explore the correlation among knee hyperextension angle, lower limb joints kinematics parameters and the activation of main muscles of lower limb in stroke hemiplegic patients with knee hyperextension during walking. MethodsFrom August, 2020 to September, 2021, 24 stroke hemiplegic patients with knee hyperextension and 24 healthy subjects matched with sex, age, height and body mass with knee hyperextension were analyzed with three-dimensional gait analysis system and the wireless surface electromyography acquisition system, to record the range of motion of pelvis, hip, knee and ankle joints in sagittal plane, and the activation of bilateral gluteus maximus, biceps femoris, vastus medialis and gastrocnemius medialis. ResultsAs the maximum of knee hyperextension, range of motion of the joints in sagittal plane and the activation of the muscles were different between the patients and the healthy subjects during the single-support phase of walking (|t| > 3.080, P < 0.01), and the maximum of knee hyperextension correlated with the activation of gluteus maximus in the patients (r = -0.532, P < 0.01), and the range of motion of ankle plantar flexion in both the patients and the healthy subjects (r > 0.686, P < 0.001). ConclusionThe correction for knee hyperextension gait in stroke hemiplegic patients may not only need to pay attention to knee joint control, but also need further treatment of ankle control and hip muscle function.
