This study was aimed at understanding the resistance status of dairy cow-derived Streptococcus strains in China,and providing scientific guidance for the rational use of antimicrobials and the development of new antimicrobials.Meta-analysis was used to explore the resistance of Streptococcus strains to 20 antimicrobials between 2000 and 2023.A total of 67 articles de-scribing 3 154 strains were included after a literature search,and a meta-analysis was conducted on the overall collection area according to time subgroups for 20 antimicrobials.Streptococci of dairy origin in China showed varying resistance rates(≥30％),as follows:penicillin(60％,95％CI=0.48-0.72),streptomycin(57％,95％CI=0.46-0.68),cotrimoxazole(56％,95％CI=0.28-0.82),lincomycin(51％,95％CI=0.26-0.76),tetracycline(49％,95％CI=0.40-0.59),doxycyc-line(42％,95％CI=0.24-0.60),clindamycin(41％,95％CI=0.28-0.54),ampicillin(39％,95％CI=0.27-0.52),e-rythromycin(37％,95％CI=0.28-0.45),kanamycin(36％,95％CI=0.20-0.54),and amoxicillin(30％,95％CI=0.10-0.53).On the basis of findings in the collection area,the resistance rates of dairy cow-derived Streptococcus to antimicrobials in Northeast China and Southwest China was generally high.The resistance rates of Streptococcus from dairy cattle to antimi-crobial drugs such as tetracycline,doxycycline,and lincomycin increased significantly over time.However,the resistance rates to antimicrobial drugs such as streptomycin,gentamicin,and enrofloxacin showed a significant decreasing trend.Dairy cow-de-rived Streptococcus had high resistance to some antimicrobials,and the resistance varied by region,because of differences in breeding and management.Monitoring of antimicrobial resistance rates,enhancing research on resistance mechanisms,and reg-ulating the use of antimicrobials remain necessary.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of valve-in-valve transcatheter mitral valve replacement(ViV-TMVR)in patients with bioprosthetic valve degeneration who are at high surgical risk.Methods This study is a multi-center,retrospective cohort analysis of 20 consecutive patients who underwent transseptal ViV-TMVR using the Edwards SAPIEN 3 transcatheter heart valve(THV).The primary endpoints include technical success and procedural success,both defined according to the Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium(MVARC)criteria,as well as mortality and functional change assessed based on New York Heart Association(NYHA)classification at 30-days and six months post-procedure.Clinical follow-up assessments are conducted at 30-days and six months.Results From February 2021 to October 2022,a total of 20 patients with symptoms of bioprosthetic valve degeneration were enrolled across nine sites in China.The patients had a mean age of(73.5±5.5)years,with 85.0％being females and 70.0％classified as NYHA class Ⅲ/Ⅳ.The study achieved a 100.0％technical success rate and a 90.0％procedural success rate finally.All patients remained alive during the 30-day follow-up period.However,six months post-intervention,two patients(10.0％)were re-hospitalized due to heart failure,and sadly,one of them(5.0％)died.None of the patients reported any adverse events related to ViV-TMVR during the follow-up period.Notably,there was a significant improvement in NYHA class compared to baseline(P=0.0004)at six-month follow-ups.Conclusions The transseptal ViV-TMVR technique proved to be highly successful and was associated with significant improvement in NYHA class function.These findings strongly suggest that it serves as a safe and efficient treatment alternative for high-risk patients suffering from bioprosthetic valve degeneration.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical outcomesof primary reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) and revision procedure with RTSA after treatment failure of complex proximal humeral fractures in the elderly.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conductedon 24 elderly patients with Neer three- or four-part proximal humeral fractures who underwent RTSA revision after treatment failure (RTSA revision group) from January 2017 to June 2022. There were 7 males and 17 females included, with a mean age of 78.23±5.78 years (range, 67-86 years). Forty-eight patients who underwent primary RTSA (primary RTSA group) during the same time period were selected by propensity score matchingin a 1∶2 ratio as controls, based on age, dominanthand, etiology, Neer typing, glenohumeral joint dislocation, rotator cuff integrity, and osteoporosis T-score. The primary RTSA group included 12 males and 36 females, with a mean age of 76.38±6.15 years (range, 65-87 years). Clinical indicators including demographic characteristics, healing rate of the greater tuberosity, visual analogue score (VAS), Constant-Murley score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), shoulder range of motion (ROM), patient satisfaction, and complication rate were collected and analyzed.Results:The mean follow-up duration was 40(32, 60) months (range, 25-72 months) in the primary RTSA group and 38(30, 61) months (range, 24-68 months) in RTSA revision group. There was no significant difference (χ 2=5.058, P=0.168) in the healing rate of the greater tuberosity between the primary RTSA group (41/48, 85.4%) and the RTSA revision group (15/24, 62.5%). Compared with preoperative status, the ROM of anterior elevation, abduction supination, external rotation, VAS score, Constant-Murley score, and ASES score were significantly improved at the last follow-up (all P<0.05) in the RTSA revision group. The anterior elevation (123.74°± 16.57°), abduction supination (113.73°±16.42°), and external rotation (36.45°±10.36°) in the primary RTSA group were superior to those in the RTSA revision group (109.43°±18.75°, 98.64°±15.47°, 30.47°±10.64°, respectively), the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). No statistical difference of ROM of internal rotation between the two groups was found (χ 2=4.034, P=0.133). At the last follow-up, the Constant-Murley scores (75.47±11.66) and ASES scores (73.58±15.72) of the primary RTSA group were higher than those in the RTSA revision group (60.43±10.24 and 63.28±18.77, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). In terms of VAS (1.66±0.93 vs. 2.02±1.15) and patient satisfaction [83%(40/48) vs. 88%(21/24)], no statistical difference was identified ( P>0.05). The complication rate were 10.4% (5/48) in the primary RTSA group and 20.8% (5/24) in the RTSA revision group (χ 2=1.452, P=0.285), with no serious complications requiring revision surgery in either group. Conclusions:For elderly patients with proximal humeral fractures after failed operation, RTSA revision might effectively improve the limb function and alleviatepain. However, compared with RTSA revision, primary RTSA demonstrated superiorearly clinical outcomes in shoulder ROM and functional recovery.

Objective:To delineate clinical characteristics of infantile myofibroma/myofibromatosis (IM) .Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on histologically confirmed IM cases from Beijing Children's Hospital, Henan Children's Hospital, and Maternity and Child Health Care of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region between August 2014 and July 2021. The clinical, pathological, imaging features, and outcomes were analyzed and summarized.Results:A total of 44 IM patients were included, comprising 28 males (63.6%) and 16 females (36.4%). Their ages at onset ( M[ Q1, Q3]) were 14.8 (4.7, 42.4) months, and 26 patients (59.1%) developed IM before the age of 1 year. Seven patients (15.9%) were initially diagnosed with IM. Skin involvement occurred in 42 patients (95.5%), of whom 30 (71.4%) presented with a solitary lesion and 12 (28.6%) with multiple lesions. Skin lesions mainly manifested as painless, firm nodules or masses. The most commonly involved extracutaneous site was the skeletal system (21/44, 47.7%). Histopathological examination of all 44 IM cases revealed a biphasic architecture pattern, characterized by the coexistence of two distinct morphologies or cell types within the tumor tissues (including spindle cell areas composed of fascicularly and densely arranged myofibroblasts, and primitive mesenchymal cell areas composed of small, round undifferentiated cells. Immunohistochemical study was performed in 42 cases; 40 (95.2%) were positive for smooth muscle actin, and 20 (47.6%) were positive for CD34. Genetic testing was conducted in 3 cases, and NOTCH mutations were identified in 2. Among the 44 patients, 30 patients (68.2%) underwent surgical excision, 5 patients (11.4%) received intralesional injections of triamcinolone acetonide, 1 patient (2.3%) received chemotherapy for intestinal involvement, and 8 patients were managed expectantly. During the follow-up of 49 (36, 60) months, lesions completely resolved in 42 cases (95.5%), while 2 cases died of pulmonary infection following chemotherapy or postoperative airway compression. Conclusions:IM predominantly affected infants and young children, with the skin and skeletal system being the most commonly involved sites. Skin lesions often manifested as firm nodules or masses, and histopathological examination was crucial for definitive diagnoses. Most IM cases exhibited favorable outcomes.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a promising class of targeted cancer therapeutics that combine the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the potency of cytotoxic payloads. Despite their therapeutic potential, the use of ADCs faces significant challenges, including off/on-target toxicity and resistance development. This review examines the current landscape of ADC development, focusing on the critical aspects of target selection and antibody engineering. We discuss strategies to increase ADC efficacy and safety, including multitarget approaches, pH-dependent antibodies, and masked peptide technologies. The importance of comprehensive antigen expression profiling in both tumor and normal tissues is emphasized, highlighting the role of advanced technologies, such as single-cell sequencing and artificial intelligence, in optimizing target selection. Furthermore, we explore combination therapies and innovations in linker‒payload chemistry, which may provide approaches for expanding the therapeutic window of ADCs. These advances pave the way for the development of more precise and effective cancer treatments, potentially extending ADC applications beyond oncology.
