Objective To investigate the perioperative use of antimicrobial agents in class Ⅰ incisional ophthalmic surgeries in secondary first-class and above medical institutions in Shanghai City,and provide a basis for the rational use of antimicrobial agents in such surgeries.Methods Perioperative antimicrobial prophylaxis(PAP)in patients undergoing class Ⅰ incisional ophthalmic surgery reported by secondary first-class and above hospitals in Shanghai City from 2017 to 2022 was collected retrospectively.The prophylactic use rate,types,rationality of selection,and timing of use of antimicrobial agents were analyzed comprehensively.Results From 2017 to 2022,a total of 54 868 cases of class Ⅰ incisional ophthalmic surgeries were reported from secondary first-class and above hospitals in Shanghai City.The PAP rates in tertiary comprehensive hospitals,tertiary specialty hospitals,tertiary traditional Chinese medicine hospitals,and secondary comprehensive hospitals were 4.72％,1.79％,3.22％,and 6.63％,re-spectively.The overall PAP rate showed a yearly decreasing trend,from 6.39％in 2017 to 2.31％in 2021.Among different types of hospitals,the PAP rate in secondary comprehensive hospitals decreased most significantly,from 12.72％in 2017 to 0.53％in 2022.The main types of prophylactic antimicrobial use were first-,second-and third-generation cephalosporins,and quinolones.The rational selection rates of antimicrobial agents were highest in ter-tiary comprehensive hospitals(17.13％)and lowest in tertiary specialty hospitals(1.08％).The PAP rates in sys-temic veins 0.5-1 hour before surgery were highest in tertiary specialty hospitals(88.17％)and lowest in tertiary comprehensive hospitals(71.53％).The withdrawal rates of antimicrobial agents within 24 hours after surgery were highest in tertiary traditional Chinese medicine hospitals(80.87％)and lowest in tertiary specialty hospitals(13.26％).Conclusion The PAP for class Ⅰ incisional ophthalmic surgeries in secondary first-class and above medical institutions in Shanghai City still presents certain irrational phenomena in terms of antimicrobial types and administration routes.The administration rate 0.5-1 hour before surgery and withdrawal rate of antimicrobial agents within 24 hours after surgery need to be further improved.Enhanced management is necessary to promote more rational use of antimicrobial agents.

The incidence and mortality rates of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)remain high in China,and the application of surgical resection is often limited due to the fact that most patients are in the advanced stage at the time of confirmed diagnosis.This article reviews commonly used advanced locoregional therapies for HCC and the advances in mainstream techniques such as local ablation(radiofrequency ablation,microwave ablation,irreversible electroporation,and cryoablation),intravascular intervention(transcatheter arterial chemoembolization,hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy,and Y90 hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy),and radiotherapy(CyberKnife,proton therapy,and heavy-ion therapy),and a multidimensional decision-making framework is constructed for HCC locoregional therapy by comparing treatment principles,indications,limitations,and clinical data of these techniques.This article aims to provide evidence-based support for persistent dilemmas in clinical decision-making,promote the role of locoregional therapies in clinical practice,and propose the directions for future research and clinical application.This article also establishes a comprehensive clinical roadmap for HCC locoregional therapy,which helps to address current challenges regarding technique selection and delineate future directions for innovation,in order to reshape the treatment of HCC through technological integration and paradigm innovation.

Objective:This study aims to construct a colorectal cancer(CRC)prognosis prediction model based on disulfide death associated long-chain non coding ribonucleic acids(DRLncRNAs),and to explore its potential application in predicting prognosis and guiding personalized treatment.Methods:The data for this study was sourced from the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database,which includes RNA sequencing data and detailed clinical information of CRC patients.Using co expression network analysis to screen DRLncRNAs.Preliminary screening of DRLncRNAs related to prognosis was conducted through univariate Cox regression analysis,followed by variable screening and dimensionality reduction using LASSO Cox regression analysis.Finally,key DRLncRNAs for constructing a prognostic risk model were identified through multivariate Cox regression analysis.Evaluate the predictive ability of prognostic risk models for survival in CRC patients through Kaplan Meier survival curve analysis.The accuracy of the model was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves,and the ability of different gene expression profiles to distinguish risk stratification was evaluated using principal component analysis(PCA).Gene ontology(GO)and KEGG enrichment analysis were used to evaluate the enrichment of high and low expression gene sets in different risk groups.Results:Five key DRLncRNAs(AC068580.3,AL161729.4,ZEB1-AS1,AC073896.3,and SNHG16)were successfully screened.In the overall concentration,the area under the curve(AUC)of the model's 1-year,3-year,and 5-year survival predictions are 0.674,0.746,and 0.727,respectively;In the training set,the predicted AUC for 1-year,3-year,and 5-year survival were 0.669,0.762,and 0.756,respectively;In the test set,the predicted AUC for 1-year,3-year,and 5-year survival were 0.666,0.725,and 0.697,respectively.SNHG16 and AC073896.3 are protective factors,and high expression was associated with better prognosis;ZEB1-AS1,AC068580.3,and AL161729.4 were risk factors,and high expression indicates poor prognosis.The Kaplan Meier survival analysis results showed that there was a significant difference in survival between the high-risk and low-risk groups(P＜0.05),and the overall survival rate of the high-risk group was significantly lower(P＜0.05).The enrichment analysis results showed that the phosphatidylinositol mediated signal transduction,mitochondrial gene expression,and other biological processes related to 5 DRLncRNAs may be involved in the occurrence,development,and poor prognosis of CRC.The results of this study showed that a prognostic risk model based on five DRLncRNAs(AC068580.3,AL161729.4,ZEB1-AS1,AC073896.3,and SNHG16)was successfully established,which showed independent correlation with the overall survival status of CRC patients.In addition,the prognostic risk model constructed based on these 5 DRLncRNAs can effectively predict the prognosis of CRC patients.Conclusion:This study identified five DRLncRNAs,including AC068580.3,AL161729.4,ZEB1-AS1,AC073896.3,and SNHG16,that are associated with the prognosis of CRC patients.The prognostic risk model constructed based on these five DRLncRNAs has a high evaluation efficiency for the prognosis of CRC patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status of contamination with carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria in environment of intensive care units(ICU)of tertiary hospitals in Shanghai and find out the potential contamination sources so as to provide bases for prevention and control of multidrug-resistant organisms infec-tions in the ICUs.METHODS The surroundings of the ICU patients detected with CRGNB and environmental ob-jects surfaces in public area were sampled by mSuperCARBA chromogenic media from Dec.2024 to Jan.2025,the strains were isolated,and the targeted strains were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight(MALDI-TOF)mass spectrometer.RESULTS A total of 653 samples were collected in the survey,76 of which were positive for bacterial culture,60 were detected with CRGNB,and the isolation rate of CRGNB was 9.19％.The isolation rate of CRGNB was 53.40％in the water-source group,0.91％in the non-water-source group,and there was significant difference(x2=286.450,P＜0.001).The result of whole genome sequencing for 17 strains of CRKP showed that ST11 and ST15 were the two major types of multilocus typing(MT),respective-ly carrying 2-12 types of drug resistance genes.CONCLUSIONS The CRGNB strains are detected in some environ-mental sites of the ICUs of 15 tertiary hospitals in Shanghai,and the isolation rate of CRKP is highest among them.The colonization rate of CRGNB is relatively low on the highly frequent-contact object surfaces of the ICUs,however,sink drain holes poses a risk of hospital-acquired CRGNB infections transmissions.Additionally,the ba-sins and towels of the CRGNB patients are hard to be thoroughly cleaned,disinfected and dried,resulting in a high contamination rate.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of acute chemical poisoning cases and provide data support for establishing a regional network poisoning early warning and surveillance platform.Methods:In July 2023, patients with acute chemical poisoning who visited the Emergency Department, West China School of Public Health, and West China Fourth Hospital, Sichuan University from May 2016 to May 2023 were selected as the research subjects. Their characteristics such as gender, age, types of poisons, seasonal distribution, and the change trend of the number of poisoned people were analyzed. The annual trend of poisoning population was analyzed by linear regression.Results:There were a total of 2033 patients with acute chemical poisoning, among whom 32 were children (accounting for 1.57%). The gender was mainly female (1146 cases, accounting for 56.37%). The age ranged from 4 to 86 (34.60±10.45) years old. The top three poisonings in terms of acute chemical poisoning were carbon monoxide poisoning with 889 cases (accounting for 43.73%), diquat poisoning with 193 cases (accounting for 9.49%), and paraquat poisoning with 168 cases (accounting for 8.26%). Sedative-hypnotic drug poisoning was mainly in spring (65 cases, accounting for 43.62%), paraquat (65 cases, accounting for 38.69%) and diquat (68 cases, accounting for 35.23%) poisoning was mainly in summer, and carbon monoxide poisoning was mainly in winter (452 cases, accounting for 50.84%). The number of poisoning cases showed a significant increasing trend over the past seven years ( t=6.97, P<0.001). The detection rate of carbon monoxide poisoning was 95.61% (850/889), the detection rate of diquat poisoning was 28.50% (55/193), and the detection rate of paraquat poisoning was 14.88% (25/168) . Conclusion:The poisons of acute chemical poisoning are mainly carbon monoxide, diquat and paraquat. It is necessary to strengthen the publicity and education related to chemical poisoning, the supervision of poisons, and the construction of regional network poisoning early warning and surveillance platforms.

Kounis syndrome is an acute coronary syndrome triggered by an allergic reaction, which is clinically rare and frequently subject to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. This article presents a case report of a 70-year-old male patient who developed a rash, pruritus, and chest pain following colon polyp resection. Coronary angiography revealed occlusion of the left anterior descending artery, and blood flow was restored after stent implantation. However, the patient experienced recurrent symptoms accompanied by loss of consciousness. Drug skin tests confirmed positive reactions to chlorhexidine and fondaparinux sodium, leading to a diagnosis of type Ⅱ Kounis syndrome. By avoiding allergenic drugs and combining antihistamines with symptomatic treatment to correct myocardial ischemia, the patient′s clinical symptoms significantly improved, and he eventually recovered and was discharged from the hospital. This case underscores the importance of maintaining vigilance for this syndrome in patients with allergies accompanied by chest pain and promptly identifying and avoiding allergens.

Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (LSC) has been a safe and viable alternative to conversion to laparotomy in cases of severe cholecystitis. The objective of this study is to determine the utility of intraoperative choledochoscopy in LSC for the exploration of the gallbladder, cyst duct, and subsequent stone clearance of the cystic duct in cases of severe cholecystitis. A total of 72 patients diagnosed with severe cholecystitis received choledochoscopy-assisted laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (CALSC). A choledochoscopy was performed to explore the gallbladder cavity and/or cystic duct, and to extract stones using a range of techniques. The clinical records, including the operative records and outcomes, were subjected to analysis. No LSC was converted to open surgery, and no bile duct or vascular injuries were sustained. All stones within the cystic duct were removed by a combination of techniques, including high-frequency needle knife electrotomy, basket, and electrohydraulic lithotripsy. A follow-up examination revealed the absence of residual bile duct stones, with the exception of one common bile duct stone, which was extracted via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. In certain special cases, CALSC may prove to be an efficacious treatment for the management of severe cholecystitis. This technique allows for optimal comprehension of the situation within the gallbladder cavity and cystic duct, facilitating the removal of stones from the cystic duct and reducing the residue of the non-functional gallbladder remnant.

Glutamine provides carbon and nitrogen to support the proliferation of cancer cells. However, the precise reason why cancer cells are particularly dependent on glutamine remains unclear. In this study, we report that glutamine modulates the tumor suppressor F-box and WD repeat domain-containing 7 (FBW7) to promote cancer cell proliferation and survival. Specifically, lysine 604 (K604) in the sixth of the 7 substrate-recruiting WD repeats of FBW7 undergoes glutaminylation (Gln-K604) by glutaminyl tRNA synthetase. Gln-K604 inhibits SCFFBW7-mediated degradation of c-Myc and Mcl-1, enhances glutamine utilization, and stimulates nucleotide and DNA biosynthesis through the activation of c-Myc. Additionally, Gln-K604 promotes resistance to apoptosis by activating Mcl-1. In contrast, SIRT1 deglutaminylates Gln-K604, thereby reversing its effects. Cancer cells lacking Gln-K604 exhibit overexpression of c-Myc and Mcl-1 and display resistance to chemotherapy-induced apoptosis. Silencing both c-MYC and MCL-1 in these cells sensitizes them to chemotherapy. These findings indicate that the glutamine-mediated signal via Gln-K604 is a key driver of cancer progression and suggest potential strategies for targeted cancer therapies based on varying Gln-K604 status.

OBJECTIVE: The results of limited studies on the relationship between environmental pollution and dementia have been contradictory. We analyzed the combined effects of PM _2.5 and smoking on the prevalence of dementia and cognitive impairment in an elderly community-dwelling Chinese population. METHODS: We assessed 24,117 individuals along with the annual average PM _2.5 concentrations from 2012 to 2016. Dementia was confirmed in the baseline survey at a qualified clinical facility, and newly suspected dementia was assessed in 2017, after excluding cases of suspected dementia in 2015. National census data were used to weight the sample data to reflect the entire population in China, with multiple logistic regression performed to analyze the combined effects of PM _2.5 and smoking frequency on dementia and cognitive impairment. RESULTS: Individuals exposed to the highest PM _2.5 concentration and smoked daily were at higher risk of dementia than those in the lowest PM _2.5 concentration group ( OR, 1.603; 95% CI [1.626-1.635], P < 0.0001) and in the nonsmoking group ( OR, 1.248; 95% CI [1.244-1.252]; P < 0.0001). Moderate PM _2.5 exposure and occasional smoking together increased the short-term risk of cognitive impairment. High-level PM _2.5 exposure and smoking were associated with an increased risk of dementia, so more efforts are needed to reduce this risk through environmental protection and antismoking campaigns. CONCLUSION High-level PM _2.5 exposure and smoking were associated with an increased risk of dementia. Lowering the ambient PM _2.5, and smoking cessation are recommended to promote health.
