Objective:To investigate the pathogen distribution, temporal trends in the rates of antimicrobial resistance, and susceptibility of bloodstream isolates and comparatively explore the epidemiological characteristics of bloodstream infections in hematology departments across 56 healthcare facilities in Guangdong Province from 2020 to 2024.Methods:A multicenter analysis was conducted to evaluate the constituent ratio of different pathogens isolated from clinical isolate data from bloodstream specimens in hematology, respiratory, and intensive care unit (ICU) departments across 56 healthcare facilities in Guangdong Province (2020-2024), and antimicrobial resistance trends in pathogens with high-detection rate over 5 years were assessed. Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative organisms (CRO) were randomly sampled for carbapenemase gene detection and in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility tests with novel antimicrobial agents.Results:From 2020 to 2024, a total of 8 968, 6 440, and 25 511 bloodstream isolates were identified in the hematology, respiratory, and ICU departments, respectively, across 56 participating facilities in Guangdong Province, with significant differences in the pathogen constituent ratio among departments ( P<0.001). Notably, the hematology department demonstrated a predominance of Escherichia coli (24.1%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (17.5%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (11.7%), coagulase-negative Staphylococci (15.2%), and Staphylococcus aureus (5.1%). In the resistance analysis, the rates of meropenem resistance of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia increased from 6.7% and 5.8% (2020) to 14.0% and 15.8% (2024), respectively. Conversely, Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibited a declining trend in the rate of meropenem resistance (6.2% to 1.9%) and imipenem (10.2% to 6.1%) during the same period. Acinetobacter baumannii demonstrated a biphasic resistance pattern to common antimicrobial agents, characterized by an initial decline, followed by a rebound. In this study, the susceptibility rates to conventional antimicrobial agents were significantly higher in Staphylococcus aureus versus coagulase-negative Staphylococci, with no glycopeptide- or linezolid-resistant strains detected. Notably, the prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium increased from 0 in 2020 to 23.1% in 2024. CRO carbapenemase phenotypes through active surveillance revealed that 80% Escherichia coli isolates were carrying blaNDM, 90% Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates were carrying blaKPC, 10% Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were carrying blaVIM, and 100% Acinetobacter baumannii were carrying blaOXA-23. The results of the antimicrobial susceptibility test in CRO revealed that carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (CRECO) demonstrated a 0 resistance rate to tigecycline, polymyxin B, and aztreonam/avibactam, whereas carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae exhibited a 0 resistance rate to aztreonam/avibactam, ceftazidime/avibactam, and imipenem/relebactam. Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibited a 95.0% susceptibility rate to amikacin and polymyxin B, with a 45.0% resistance rate to ceftazidime/avibactam. In contrast, carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii demonstrated complete susceptibility (100.0%) to sulbactam/durlobactam (MIC90=2 μg/ml), whereas eravacycline showed MIC50 and MIC90 values of 1 and 2 μg/ml, respectively. Conclusion:The pathogen constituent ratio of bloodstream isolates differed significantly among hematology, respiratory, and ICU departments. Notably, although CRO exhibited an escalating prevalence, it sustained high susceptibility to novel antimicrobial agents.

Objective: To explore the network structure of dietary intake and physical fitness subtypes among junior and senior high school students, so as to provide precise and efficient intervention guidance for improving abnormal physical health issues in adolescents. Methods: Based on the 2020-2021 Database of Youth Health (DYH), a total of 9 730 junior and senior high school students in Shandong Province were included for analysis. Dietary intake was assessed using a modified Chinese Dietary Quality Questionnaire, and physical fitness was evaluated according to the "2014 National Student Physical Fitness Standard". The Kmeans clustering algorithm was employed to identify potential subtypes of physical fitness in junior and high school students. Network analysis was used to construct a network linking dietary intake and physical fitness symptoms and to identify clusters of dietary behaviors and physical fitness symptoms among adolescents of different genders. Results: The physical fitness among junior and senior high school students of different genders were categorized into two subtypes: the baseline steady type (3 427 male students, 4 039 female students) and the morphological deviation type (1 294 male students, 970 female students). Statistically significant differences were observed in network strength and network connectivity strength among different genders and physical fitness subtypes (all P<0.05). Connections between food intake and physical health symptom clusters across different genders and physical health types among junior and senior high school students were primarily achieved through instant noodle intake and physical fitness (males of morphological deviation type, weight=0.06), fruit intake and physical fitness (males of baseline steady type, weight=-0.07), potato intake and vital capacity (females of morphological deviation type, weight=0.09), and processed meat intake and vital capacity (females of baseline steady type, weight=0.05). Conclusions Dietary intake serves as a significant modifiable risk factor for the physical fitness of junior and high school students. Interventions should focus on promoting healthy eating habits.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of Japanese encephalitis (JE) in Yunnan province, China from 2000 to 2023, and to provide scientific basis for prevention and control work.Methods:Descriptive epidemiological method were used for epidemiological feature analysis. Excel 2019 and ArcGIS 10.8.2 software were used to establish case databases and map drawings, Joinpoint 4.9.1 software was used to conduct time trend analysis, and ArcGIS 10.8.2 software was used to construct a geographic information database and conduct spatial autocorrelation analysis. SaTScan 10.1.2 software was used for spatiotemporal scanning analysis.Results:A total of 7 006 JE cases and 342 deaths were reported in Yunnan province from 2000 to 2023, with an average annual incidence of 0.58/100 000 (0.03/100 000-1.69/100 000) and a fatality rate of 4.88%, both of which showed a decreasing trend. JE cases have been reported in 129 counties in 16 prefectures of the province, and the average annual incidence rate in prefecture was 0.09/100 000-1.96/100 000. Xishuangbanna, Dehong, Zhaotong, Baoshan, Pu′er, Wenshan and Chuxiong prefectures were highly prevalent areas. Spatial-temporal scanning analysis found that 33 counties in 6 prefectures in the China-Myanmar and China-Laos border areas in southwest Yunnan constitute the first-class cluster area, and 9 counties in Zhaotong prefecture in northeastern Yunnan constitute the second-class cluster area. JE cases occured in every month of the year, with the main epidemic period from May to October. The ratio of male to female cases was 1.54∶1, the proportion of the age group <15 years was 68.49%, and the age group ≥15 years was 31.51%. The proportion of scattered children and preschool children was 38.54%, with students accounting for 33.19% and farmers accounting for 21.18%.Conclusions:JE was widely distributed in Yunnan province, with high-incidence areas mainly concentrated in southwestern and northeastern Yunnan. The incidence rate among children was high, and the number of cases among adults and farmers has increased significantly. It is still necessary to strengthen the prevention and control of JE in high-risk areas, especially in rural areas, and fully implement the children′s JE immunization program and adult JE prevention measures.

Objective To investigate the impact of acacetin(Aca)on angiogenesis in diabetes retinopathy(DR)rats by regulating Hippo signaling pathway.Methods Sixty SD rats were grouped into the control group,the DR group,the Aca low dose group(10 mg/kg),the Aca medium dose group(20 mg/kg),the Aca high dose group(30 mg/kg)and Hippo-YAP signaling pathway inhibitor Verteporfin group(Aca high dose 30 mg/kg+Verteporfin 0.8 pmol/kg),with 10 rats in each group.Except the control group,streptozotocin and high-fat feed were used to construct the DR model.Body weight and fasting blood glucose(FBG)levels of rats were measured.Fluorescein angiography(FFA)was applied to observe retinal angiogenesis and fluorescein leakage.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was applied to detect serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and angiopoietin-2(Ang-2).Pathological changes of retinal tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining.Western blot assay was applied to detect expression levels of VEGF,hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha(HIF-1α),vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(VCAM-1)and Hippo signaling pathway proteins.Results Compared with the control group,retinal cells of rats in the DR group were arranged in a disordered and loose manner,with neovascularization and a large amount of fluorescein leakage,and body weight,the expression of large tumor suppressor homolog 2(LATS2),p-Yes-associated protein(YAP)were reduced.FBG and expression levels of VEGF,Ang-2,HIF-1α,VCAM-1,YAP,transcription activator with PDZ binding motif(TAZ),TEA domain family member 1(TEAD1)were increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the DR group,retina cells of rats in the Aca low,medium and high-dose groups and the Verteporfin group were arranged neatly,with reduced neovascularization and fluorescence leakage,body weight and the expression levels of LATS2 and p-YAP were increased,and FBG,expression levels of VEGF,Ang-2,HIF-1α,VCAM-1,YAP,TAZ and TEAD1 were reduced(P＜0.05).The effect was more obvious in the Aca high dose group.However,there was no significant difference in each indicator between the Verteporfin group and the Aca high dose group.Conclusion Aca can inhibit angiogenesis and improve retinal pathological damage in DR rats,and its mechanism of action may be related to regulating the Hippo signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the differences in subchondral bone mineral density(BMD)between the femoral and tibial sides in patients of knee osteoarthritis(KOA)with normal lines of force and varus.Methods The data of 450 knee joints with a definite diagnosis of KOA were included in this study including weight-bearing full-length X-ray films and quantitative computed tomography(QCT)scans of both lower limbs.Among them,131 were in the normal force line group and 319 were in the knee varus group.The hip-knee-ankle(HKA)angle and BMD of the femoral medial condyle,femoral lateral condyle,tibial medial plateau and tibial lateral plateau were measured.BMD ratio of tibial medial plateau to tibial lateral plateau and the BMD ratio of femoral medial condyle to femoral lateral condyle were calculated.BMD in medial and lateral compartments of the femur and tibia were compared between the two groups,followed by subgroup analyses based on gender and age.Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between the BMD ratio of tibial medial plateau to tibial lateral plateau,the BMD ratio of femoral medial condyle to femoral lateral condyle and the degree of varus in the knee varus group.Results The BMD of the medial femoral condyles and medial tibial platforms were higher in the knee varus group than those in the normal force line group.The BMD of femoral lateral condyle and lateral tibial platform was lower in the knee varus group than that in the normal force line group.The BMD ratio of the medial to lateral tibial plateaus was greater than one in both groups,and the ratio of the knee varus group was greater.The BMD ratio of femoral medial to lateral condyle in the knee varus group was significantly higher than that in the normal force line group.For women,these findings were more pronounced and were independent of age.Correlation analysis showed that the BMD ratio of medial tibial plateau to lateral tibial plateau was negatively correlated with HKA angle(rs=-0.436,P＜0.01),and the BMD ratio of the medial femoral condyle to lateral femoral condyle was also negatively correlated with HKA angle(rs=-0.394,P＜0.01).Conclusion The BMD of medial femoral and tibial compartment is increased and the BMD of lateral compartment is decreased in the genu varus group compared with the normal force line group.

Objective To understand the change trend and characteristics of nosocomial infection through the comprehensive surveillance on nosocomial infection in infectious diseases specialized hospitals dur-ing 2017-2023 to provide an evidence for the prevention,control and management of nosocomial infection.Methods The surveillance indicators of nosocomial infection in a hospital during 2017-2023 were collected.The nosocomial infection rate,nosocomial infection rate in different inpatient wards,nosocomial infection sites,nosocomial infection pathogenic bacterial distribution and susceptibility factors conducted the statistical analysis.Results A total of 93 254 patients were admitted and treated during 2017-2023.The nosocomial in-fection rate and infection case-times rate showed the decreasing trend(P＜0.05).The case-times rate of the patients in the AIDS wards was 3.75％,which was higher than 0.79％in the tuberculosis wards(P＜0.05).The nosocomial infection case-times rate in the two wards areas during 2017-2023 showed the decreasing trend(P＜0.05).The infection sites were mainly the respiratory system(61.56％),blood system(9.44％)and urinary system(8.61％).A total of 803 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected out,which were mainly Gram negative bacteria(63.89％),the top five were in turn Klebsiella pneumoniae(16.19％),Esche-richia coli(15.57％),Acinetobacter baumannii(10.83％),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(8.84％)and Staphylo-coccus aureus(7.22％).The top three of susceptibility factors were low immune function(58.78％),long term antibiotic use(11.29％)and ventilator use(9.20％).Conclusion Initiatively carrying the hospital infec-tion surveillance could accurately grasp the incidence trends and provide the direction and data support for pre-vention and control priorities.

CONCLUSIONS The combination of thalidomide and CAG regimen in the treatment of elderly AML patients can significantly improve clinical efficacy and has high safety.

Oral diseases concern almost every individual and are a serious health risk to the popula-tion.The restorative treatment of tooth and jaw defects is an important means to achieve oral function and support the appearance of the contour.Based on the principle of"learning from the nature",Deng Xu-liang's group of Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology has proposed a new concept of"microstructural biomimetic design and tissue adaptation of tooth/jaw materials"to address the worldwide problems of difficulty in treating dentine hypersensitivity,poor prognosis of restoration of tooth defects,and vertical bone augmentation of alveolar bone after tooth loss.The group has broken through the bottle-neck of multi-stage biomimetic technology from the design of microscopic features to the enhancement of macroscopic effects,and invented key technologies such as crystalline/amorphous multi-level assembly,ion-transportation blocking,and multi-physical properties of the micro-environment reconstruction,etc.The group also pioneered the cationic-hydrogel desensitizer,digital stump and core integrated restora-tions,and developed new crown and bridge restorative materials,gradient functionalisation guided tissue regeneration membrane,and electrically responsive alveolar bone augmentation restorative membranes,etc.These products have established new clinical strategies for tooth/jaw defect repair and achieved inno-vative results.In conclusion,the research results of our group have strongly supported the theoretical im-provement of stomatology,developed the technical system of oral hard tissue restoration,innovated the clinical treatment strategy,and led the progress of the stomatology industry.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of serum uric acid/albumin ratio (sUAR) for acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac valve surgery.Methods:The clinical data of adult patients undergoing cardiac valve surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass from January 2021 to December 2021 from the Heart Center of Henan Provincial People's Hospital were collected retrospectively, and the sUAR was calculated. All patients were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group according to whether AKI occurred within 7 days after cardiac valve surgery, and the differences of clinical data between the two groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the independent correlation factors of AKI after cardiac valve surgery. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the performance of relevant indicators.Results:A total of 422 patients were enrolled, including 194 females (46.0%), 141 hypertension patients (33.4%) and 172 atrial fibrillation patients (40.8%). They were 57 (50, 65) years old. Their sUAR was 8.13 (6.57, 9.54) μmol/g, and hemoglobin was 135 (125, 145) g/L. There were 142 cases in AKI group and 280 cases in non-AKI group, and the incidence of AKI after cardiac valve surgery was 33.6%. Age, atrial fibrillation rate, baseline serum creatinine, N terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide, serum urea,serum uric acid, blood glucose and sUAR were higher in the AKI group than those in the non-AKI group (all P<0.05), and estimated glomerular filtration rate, lymphocyte count,hemoglobin and serum albumin were lower in the AKI group than those in the non-AKI group (all P<0.05). The median cardiopulmonary bypass time of patients in the AKI group was slightly longer than that in the non-AKI group, but the difference was not statistically significant [159 (125, 192) min vs. 151 (122, 193) min, Z=-0.797, P=0.426], and there were no statistically significant differences in other indicators between the two groups. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that sUAR ( OR=1.467, 95% CI 1.308-1.645, P<0.001), age ( OR=1.045, 95% CI 1.020-1.072, P<0.001), atrial fibrillation ( OR=2.520, 95% CI 1.580-4.020, P<0.001), hemoglobin ( OR=0.984, 95% CI 0.971-0.997, P=0.015) were the independent correlation factors. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve ( AUC) of sUAR predicting AKI after cardiac valve surgery was 0.710 (95% CI 0.659-0.760, P<0.001) with a sensitivity of 85.2% and specificity of 45.0% for the sUAR cut-off point of 7.28 μmol/g. The AUC for the diagnosis of AKI after cardiac valve surgery was 0.780 (95% CI 0.734-0.825, P<0.001) with a sensitivity of 72.5% and specificity of 71.8% for the combination of sUAR with age, hemoglobin and atrial fibrillation. Conclusions:For patients undergoing cardiac valve surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass, preoperative high sUAR is an independent risk factor for postoperative AKI, and sUAR has a certain predictive value for postoperative AKI.
