Objective To explore the influencing factors of cognitive impairment in non-dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD).Methods A total of 60 hospitalized non-dialysis patients with CKD in the Department of Nephrology of Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital Affiliated to Yangzhou University from September 2022 to September 2023 were enrolled as research objects.According to the estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),they were divided into stage 1 to 2 of CKD group[eGFR ≥60 mL/(min·1.73 m2)]with 23 cases,the stage 3 of CKD group[eGFR 30～＜60 mL/(min·1.73 m2)]with 20 cases,and stage 4 to 5 of CKD group[eGFR＜30 mL/(min·1.73 m2)]with 17 cases.The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale(MoCA)was used to evaluate the cognitive function of the patients.Basic data and common clinical laboratory in-dicators on hospital admission were collected to analyze the differences in cognitive function levels under different renal function statuses and to explore the influencing factors of cognitive impairment.Results The incidence rates of cognitive impairment in the stage 1 to 2 of CKD group,stage 3 of CKD group,and stage 4 to 5 of CKD group were 47.8％,85.0％,and 94.1％respectively,the median MoCA scored 26,24 and 20 respectively,with statistically significant between-group differ-ences(P＜0.05).Cognitive function was significantly negatively correlated with age(r=-0.634,P＜0.001),blood urea nitrogen(BUN)(r=-0.574,P＜0.001),serum creatinine(Cr)(r=-0.417,P＜0.001),cystatin C(Cys-C)(r=-0.327,P=0.011),serum β2-microglobulin(β2-MG)(r=-0.259,P=0.046),and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)(r=-0.474,P＜0.001),and was significantly positively correlated with hemoglobin(HB)(r=0.401,P=0.001)and eGFR(r=0.485,P＜0.001).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age(P=0.006)and NT-proBNP(P=0.041)were influencing factors of cognitive im-pairment in non-dialysis patients with CKD.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC),sensitivity,and specificity of age for prediction were 0.860,0.864 and 0.812 respectively,the AUC,sensitivity,and specificity of NT-proBNP for pre-diction were 0.808,0.795 and 0.875 respectively,and the combined prediction of age and NT-proBNP had an AUC,sensitivity,and specificity of 0.893,0.955,and 0.750,respectively.Conclusion As renal function deteriorates,the incidence rate and severity of cognitive impairment in non-dialysis patients with CKD tend to increase.Advanced age,renal function deterioration,high NT-proBNP level,and anemia are associated with the occurrence of cognitive impairment in non-di-alysis patients with CKD,among which age and NT-proBNP are influencing factors for cognitive im-pairment.

Objective To understand the current situation of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in China,pro-vide data support and decision-making basis for formulating scientific and effective strategies for HAI prevention and control.Methods A nationwide cross-sectional survey on HAI was conducted among various types and levels of medical institutions in China according to a unified protocol of bedside surveys and case investigations.Results In 2024,a total of 5 736 medical institutions and 2 751 765 patients were surveyed.Among them,34 889 HAI cases were identified,with a prevalence rate of 1.27％.The number of HAI episodes was 38 032,and case prevalence rate was 1.38％.The prevalence rate of HAI in medical institutions in different regions of China ranged from 0.66％to 2.35％.Among medical institutions of different scales,those with a bed capacity of ≥900 had the high-est incidence of HAI,reaching 1.65％.The most common infection site was the lower respiratory tract(44.66％),followed by the urinary tract(12.94％),surgical site(9.32％),upper respiratory tract(7.02％),and bloodstream infection(5.78％).The top 3 departments with the highest HAI rates were the general intensive care unit(10.02％),department of neurosurgery(5.51％),and department(group)of hematology(5.34％).A total of 23 238 strains of HAI pathogens were detected,with 10 714 strains(46.10％)from lower respiratory tract speci-mens.The top 5 detected strains were Klebsiella pneumoniae(14.76％),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(13.33％),Escherichia coli(12.79％),Acinetobacter baumannii(9.23％),and Staphylococcus aureus(7.88％).231 944 pa-tients underwent class Ⅰ incision surgery were monitored,with 1 647 cases experienced surgical site infection,and the prevalence rate of surgical site infection was 0.71％.The number of patients who should undergo pathogen de-tection(patients receiving therapeutic and therapeutic combined prophylactic antimicrobial agents)was 715 179,while the actual number was 480 492,with a pathogen detection rate of 67.18％.425 225 patients received patho-genic detection before treatment,with a detection rate of 59.46％.Conclusion The overall HAI prevalence in Chi-na is lower,showing disparities among medical institutions of different regions and scales.Therefore,precise imple-mentation of measures is necessary for HAI prevention and control,with a focus on high-risk institutions and high-risk departments,key areas,and critical procedures.All levels of medical institutions should continuously reduce the incidence of HAI by strengthening monitoring,standardizing the use of antimicrobial agents,and reinforcing basic HAI prevention and control measures.

Persistent atrial fibrillation and other factors can cause mitral and tricuspid annular dilation and leaflet regurgitation,leading to severe functional mitral and tricuspid regurgitation.Patients often experience significant heart failure symptoms and poor prognosis.For patients with severe mitral or tricuspid regurgitation who are at high risk or contraindicated for surgical procedures,transbronchial repair(TEER)is an important alternative therapy that can effectively reduce valve regurgitation and improve cardiac function;Although there is a lack of large-scale data on atrial functional reflux,existing experience still shows that TEER can significantly reduce reflux and improve patients'quality of life.However,double valve intervention therapy poses challenges,especially when combined with TEER repair,which is technically more complex,time-consuming,and carries higher risks.Foreign data shows that simultaneous or staged double valve intervention can safely improve cardiac function and increase survival rates,but the optimal intervention strategy still needs further research.Due to the fact that tricuspid TEER devices have not yet been launched in China,only staged treatment can be adopted at present.This case report shows a patient with severe atrial functional mitral and tricuspid regurgitation who underwent staged transcatheter edge to edge repair surgery successfully.During a 1-year follow-up,bilateral valve regurgitation continued to improve,indicating that staged repair of bilateral atrioventricular valve regurgitation through the catheter margin is a feasible and effective treatment option.

Objective:To conduct a series case study on hospitalized anthrax cases in five hospitals in North China, to share clinical experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of cutaneous and pulmonary anthrax.Methods:A retrospective, multicenter cohort study was conducted on the anthrax patients admitted to five hospitals in North China from August 2018 to March 2022. Forty patients were divided into severe and mild groups. The clinical features, treatment and prognosis of the patients were collected and analysed. Statistical evaluations included independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and chi-square test. Results:Among the 40 patients with anthrax, 10(25.0%) were severely ill and 30(75.0%) were mildly ill. According to the sites of infection, 40 patients were classified as 39 cutaneous anthrax cases (one case had secondary pulmonary anthrax) and one pulmonary anthrax case. The rates of chills and fever, lymphadenopathy, liver dysfunction and hypoalbuminemia in the severe group were all higher than those in the mild group, with statistically significant differences ( χ2=5.71, 6.54, 4.68 and 9.22, respectively, all P<0.05). The peripheral white blood cell count, neutrophil count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and C-reactive protein were (11.8±4.9)×10 9/L, (9.5±5.1)×10 9/L, 8.6±7.3, 27.9(8.6, 167.7) mg/L, respectively, which were all higher than those in mild disease group ((7.5±2.4)×10 9/L, (5.0±2.1)×10 9/L, 3.2±2.3, 3.5(1.2, 14.7) mg/L), with statistically significant differences ( t=2.66, t=2.71, t=2.32 and Z=-3.01, respectively, all P<0.05). The albumin level in the severe group was (35.5±8.1) g/L, which was lower than that of the mild group ((43.7±3.2) g/L), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-3.13, P=0.011). The severe cases were more likely to have skin lesions greater than four centimetre in diameter, multiple, vesicular, or edematous, with a significant difference ( χ2=6.01, P=0.014). Among 39 patients with cutaneous anthrax, 28(71.8%) in the mild group were treated with penicillin alone, and nine (23.1%) in the severe group were treated with penicillin, ofloxacin, piperacillin/tazobactam combined with one of linezolid, doxycycline, or clindamycin for anti-infection treatment. The two patients with pulmonary anthrax were treated with closed thoracic drainage for pleural effusion and pneumothorax, and were treated with two bactericidal and one protein synthesis inhibitor antibiotics. All 40 anthrax patients were cured and discharged from hospital. Conclusions:Patients with mild cutaneous anthrax can generally be treated with single penicillin, and patients with severe cutaneous anthrax and pulmonary anthrax should be treated with combined antibiotics.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To investigate the changes of blood glucose and blood lipid in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) patients with different insulin sensitivity during pregnancy and the effect of non-drug intervention.Methods:Data of 240 pregnant women with GDM and 240 healthy pregnant women were collected from July 1 to September 1, 2023 in Shijing People′s Hospital in Baiyun District and other five hospital. The insulin sensitivity index (ISI) was calculated by homeostasis model assessment 2(HOMA2) model, according to the 25th percentile of ISI of normal pregnant women, GDM patients were divided into insulin sensitive group (group A) and insulin sensitive deficiency group (group B), and group A and group B were divided into two groups according to 36-week blood glucose control: group A1 with good blood glucose control (group A1 and group B1) and group A2 with bad blood glucose control (group A2 and group B2). The age, body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), blood lipids and blood glycated hemoglobin (HbA 1c ) in the first trimester, blood glucose and blood lipids in the second trimester were compared at the 28th, 32nd and 36th weeks of gestation, the number of cases, blood glucose, blood lipids and non-drug intervention were measured. Results:There were 166 cases in group A and 74 cases in group B. Blood glucose and blood lipid were normal in early pregnancy. There was no significant difference in blood glucose between group A and group B during the second trimester. The levels of blood lipids were significantly higher than those during the first trimester, and the levels of triglyceride (TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were significantly higher than those during the first trimester. The number of pregnant women in group A1 was significantly more than that in group A2 in the third trimester ( P = 0.01), and the number of pregnant women in group B1 was more than that in group B2 at 28 weeks ( P = 0.01). At 32 weeks, the number of pregnant women in group B1 and group B2 was similar ( P = 0.31). At 36 weeks, the number of pregnant women in group B1 was significantly lower than that in group B2 ( P = 0.01). In the third trimester of pregnancy, the levels of blood glucose in group B2 were higher than those in group A2 ( P<0.05). The levels of TG and LDL-C in group A2 and group B2 were higher than those in group A1 and group B1 respectively, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was lower than that in group A1 and group B1( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in TC between group A2 and group A1 at 28 and 32 weeks ( P>0.05), but it was significantly higher at 36 weeks ( P = 0.01). In the third trimester of pregnancy, diet control was the most common (91.7%, 87.7%, 81.6%, respectively) in group A ( P>0.05). The proportions of diet-only and diet-plus exercise interventions were similar in group B1 at 28 weeks and 32 weeks (52.9% vs. 47.1%, 45.7% vs. 54.3%)( P = 0.072, 0.113). At the 36 weeks, the main intervention was diet combined with exercise (73.3%). In group B2, dietary intervention (69.6%, 71.8%, 69.5%) was the main cause of poor control of blood glucose. Conclusions:In GDM patients with insulin sensitivity deficiency, the blood glucose and blood lipids in the second trimester are obviously increased, and the abnormality in the third trimester is even greater.

ObjectiveTo examine the current status of preschoolers' eating behaviors and investigate its correlation with family cohesion and adaptability. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted involving 21，954 preschoolers and their families from Pingshan District， Shenzhen， between September 2021 and December 2021. A general demographic questionnaire， the Chinese version of Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale Ⅱ （FACESⅡ-CV） and Chinese Preschoolers’ Eating Behavior Questionnaire （CPEBQ） were used to collect the relevant information. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the association of family cohesion and adaptability with eating behaviors of preschoolers. ResultsTypes of family cohesion and adaptability were significantly correlated with all the 7 dimensions of preschoolers' eating behaviors， including food fussiness （R²=0.252， F=114.457， P<0.001）， food responsiveness （R² = 0.111， F =24.973， P<0.001）， eating habit （R²= 0.304， F =139.658， P<0.001）， satiety responsiveness （R² = 0.259， F =105.332， P<0.001）， external eating （R² = 0.182， F =50.150， P<0.001）， emotional eating （R² = 0.234， F =91.084， P<0.001） and initiative eating （R² = 0.349， F =168.608， P<0.001）. After adjusting for confounding factors， our study showed that types of family cohesion and adaptability were independent predictors of preschoolers' eating behaviors （P<0.05）. ConclusionsTypes of family cohesion and adaptability have a significant predictive effect on the 7 dimensions of preschoolers' eating behaviors. Higher scores of family cohesion and adaptability imply stronger initiative eating ability and less poor dietary behaviors in preschoolers.

Aim To study the therapeutic effect of Balanophora polysaccharide(BPS)on gastric ulcer(GU)induced by acetic acid in rats and to investigateits mechanisms. Methods Sixty male SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group, GU model group, omeprazole positive group(3.6 mg·kg-1), and low, medium and high dose of BPS treatment groups(100, 200 and 400 mg·kg-1). The GU model group was prepared by acetic acid cautery method, and the morphology and pathological changes of ulcers were observed by visual observation combined with HE staining, and the ulcer area and inhibition rate were measured and calculated; superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity, malondialdehyde(MDA)content and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX)activity were measured by enzymatic assay; tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-6(IL-6)content were detected by ELISA. The expression levels of epidermal growth factor(EGF)and epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)were measured by immunohistochemistry staining and Western blot. Results Compared with the sham-operated group, obvious ulcer damage was seen in the model group. Compared with the model group, the BPS-treated group showed a significant reduction in ulcer area, an increase in SOD and GSH-PX activity and EGF and EGFR expression levels, and a significant decrease in MDA, TNF-α and IL-6 content. Conclusions BPS has a therapeutic effect on GU in rats, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of oxidative stress, suppression of inflammatory stimuli and promotion of regenerative repair of gastric mucosa.
