It is considered that "turbid pathogen damaging the clear， and the loss of clarity and harmony regulation" is the core pathogenesis of esophageal precancerous lesions， with turbid pathogen persisting throughout the disease course. Turbid pathogen encompasses qi turbidity， phlegm turbidity， stasis turbidity， and toxin turbidity， closely related to dietary indiscretion， emotional disharmony， spleen-stomach deficiency， and kidney deficiency failing to consolidate. Turbid pathogen undergoes a dynamic evolution process of qi constraint generating turbid→ phlegm-stasis transforming into toxin→turbidity toxin harming the healthy qi， corresponding to the pathological alterations of hypoxia， inflammation and immunosuppression within the tumor microenvironment. The overall therapeutic principle is to remove turbidity and restore clarity. In the early stage， targeting the hypoxic tumor microenvironment， the suggested treatment method is opening constraint and dispersing the block， regulating qi and remove turbidity， with emphasis on soothing liver and regulating stomach， raising the clear and directing the turbid downward. In the middle stage， targeting inflammatory microenvironment， the treatment aims to clear toxin and dissipate nodules， resolve stasis and eliminate turbid， emphasizing phlegm-stasis elimination， turbid-toxin resolution， and concurrent stomach qi protection. In the late stage， corresponding to immunosuppressive microenvironment， the method of boosting qi， nourishing yin， reinforcing healthy qi， and eliminating turbidity can be used， with focus on spleen-stomach tonification， kidney essence replenishment， and healthy qi reinforcement to expel pathogenic factors.

Objective This study conducted molecular biological identification of the viruses carried by Culex pipiens pallens specimens collected in Shunyi District, Beijing in 2023, and observed the changes in the infection rate of the viruses carried by Cx. pipiens pallens at different collection times. Methods Cx. pipiens pallens were collected using carbon dioxide mosquito traps. The mosquito samples were ground in batches and analyzed by molecular biology technologies. The virus infection rate at different collection times was analyzed statistically. Results 17 strains of Culex pipiens pallens densovirus(CppDNV)were identified from Cx. pipiens pallens samples collected in Shunyi District, Beijing, in 2023. The nucleotide sequence analysis of the virus genome coding region showed that CppDNV was a single-stranded DNA virus with a total length of 3 335 nt, encoding 2 non-structural proteins(NS1, NS2)and 1 capsid protein(VP). The nucleotide(amino acid)sequence lengths of the three proteins were 2 376 nt(791 aa),1 092 nt(363 aa)and 1 071 nt(356 aa), respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that CppDNV was located in genus Brevihamaparvovirus. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference in infection rates across collection times(χ2=4.429, P=0.194). Conclusions CppDNV was identified in Cx. pipiens pallens in Beijing, and it was stably maintained in this natural population.

Objective:To investigate the roles of simulated participants in the facilitation of medical scenarios simulation-based course and to provide a reference for the standardized construction of medical scenarios simulation-based course.Methods:Thirty scenario simulation-based teaching sessions on perioperative crisis events conducted during the 2022-2023 academic year were observed on-site. The performance of simulated participants in facilitating case execution and the skills used in facilitation were observed and recorded. At the end of the course, surveys regarding facilitation were administered to students, simulated participants, and instructors for analysis.Results:In the facilitation of 30 scenario simulation-based teaching sessions on perioperative crisis events, the roles of simulated participants included surgeon, anesthesia nurse, circuit nurse, and standardized patient. Two simulated participants accounted for 80.00% and three participants for 20.00% of the total sessions. The simulated participants performed excellently in helping the learners quickly integrate into the scenario and controlling the direction of the case, with an excellence rate of 90.00%-100.00%. However, they had some variations in driving the progress of the case and responding to unexpected situations, with an excellence rate of 50.00%-60.00%. The facilitation skills used by simulated participants included hinting, prompting, and instructing. The performance of facilitation was closely related to the use of skills by the simulated participants. Simulated participants with proficient skill usage significantly enhanced teaching effectiveness. Post-session surveys revealed that learners generally perceived simulated participants as having a positive impact on facilitation, and both simulated participants and instructors emphasized the need for strengthened communication prior to simulation-based teaching.Conclusions:The simulated participants played important roles in guiding learners, advancing case progression, and achieving teaching objectives. Instructors should not only consider the scripting of simulated participants during lesson planning but also prioritize their training and communication during course implementation.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacterial strains isolated from pediatric intensive care units(PICU)in China for better antimicrobial therapy.Methods Clinical isolates were collected from 17 institutions,including tertiary care children's hospitals and pediatric department of tertiary general hospitals in China from January 1,2020 to December 31,2022.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out according to a unified protocol using Kirby-Bauer method or automated systems.Results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2020.Results A total of 10 688 isolates were collected,including gram-positive organisms(39.2％)and gram-negative organisms(60.8％).The top three organisms were S.aureus(13.6％,1 453/10 688),A.baumannii(10.0％,1 067/10 688),and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(9.9％,1 058/10 688).Multi-drug resistant organisms(MDROs)were very common in children.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA),carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE),carbapenem-resistant E.coli,carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae(CRKP),carbapenem-resistant A.baumannii(CRAB),and carbapenem-resistant P.aeruginosa(CRPA)was 41.1％,19.4％,8.8％,30.9％,67.4％,and 28.8％,respectively.Overall,more than 50％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to cephalosporins,while nearly 25％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to carbapenems.MDROs were highly resistant to commonly used antibiotics.More than 80％of CRE and CRAB strains were resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics.CRE and CRAB showed low resistance rates to tigecycline and polymyxin.CRPA showed lower resistance rates to piperacillin,beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations than the resistance rates to third and fourth generation cephalosporins.All of the Staphylococcus and Enterococcus isolates were susceptible to vancomycin and tigecycline.None of PRSP strains isolated from meningitis and nonmeningitis samples were resistant to rifampicin,vancomycin,or linezolid.The prevalence of β-lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant(BLNAR)strains was 43.3％in Haemophilus influenzae.Conclusions MDROs were prevalent in PICU.It is necessary to establish an effective multidisciplinary team(MDT)to control the antimicrobial resistance.

Objectives:To compare the efficacy and imaging parameters of lateral lumbar interbody fusion(LLIF)combined with anterolateral screw fixation(AF)or bilateral pedicle screw fixation(BPSF)in the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease(LDD).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 100 patients with single-segment LDD who underwent LLIF-AF or LLIF-BPSF treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University between December 2019 and December 2021.The patients were divided into the AF group(50 cases)and the BPSF group(50 cases).There was no statistical difference in the general informa-tion such as gender,age,and body mass index(BMI)between the two groups(P＞0.05).The perioperative data(length of hospital stay,operative time,intraoperative blood loss);Pre-operative,postoperative 7d,postoperative 6 months' visual analog scale(VAS)scores for low back and leg pain,Oswestry disablity index(ODI),imaging parameters such as disc height(DH),foraminal height(FH),cross-sectional area(CSA),as well as surgical complications were collected and analyzed,and the risk factors for intervertebral subsidence and non-fusion of fusion device were explored.Results:AF group was better than BPSF group in operative time,intraoperative blood loss,and hospital stay[125.0±26.6min vs 221.6±52.2min,25.0mL(20.0-50.0mL)vs 100.0mL(90.0-150.0mL),12.5±4.8d vs 14.9±4.6d],and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).For the low back and leg pain VAS scores and ODI,as well as DH,FH,and CSA,the postoperative 7d and 6 months'values were signiticantly improved than before operation in both groups(P＜0.05),while no statistically significant differences were found between groups at the same time points(P＞0.05).Intervertebral subsidence occurred in 12 patients in each group,and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups.There were statistically significant differences in BMI and QCT between the AF and BPSF groups of patients with subsidence of the intervertebral space and those without subsidence at 6 months after operation;There were statistically significant differences in QCT between the two groups of patients with non-fusion and fusion of the fusion device;BMI≥28kg/m2 and QCT＜80mg/cm3 were the independent risk factors for intervertebral subsidence in AF group,but not in the BPSF group;QCT＜80mg/cm3 was the independent risk facors for non-fusion of fusion device in both AF and BPSF groups.Conclusions:LLIF combined with AF or BPSF are both reliable methods for treating LDD.For patients with a high body weight of BMI≥28kg/m2 or decreased bone density of QCT＜80mg/cm3,BPSF internal fixation can provide stronger mechanical stability to the spine,reducing the incidence of postoperative disc space collapse or fusion device non-union;On the contrary,AF internal fixation has shorter operative time and hospital stay,less intraoperative blood loss,which can be considered as a priority.

Barrett's esophagus(BE),a precancerous state of esophageal adenocarcinoma,poses a major challenge for prevention and treatment owing to its complex mechanism of inflammation-cancer transformation and the lack of effective clinical treatment and torsion strategies.Building upon the"preventing disease progression"theory,this study aimed to address the critical clinical challenge of intercepting the pathological progression during the inflammation-cancer transformation of BE by proposing an innovative"two critical nodes-three stages"pathomechanism framework.The pathogenesis of BE originates from liver depression and qi stagnation.The pathological progression evolves through two critical nodes:liver depression transforming into heat and heat transforming into blood stasis,representing a three-stage evolutionary pattern of qi stagnation,heat transformation,and blood stasis formation.Acidic bile salts,acting as a pathogenic toxin,permeate the entire process and catalyze carcinogenesis.Based on this understanding,the therapeutic principles of"treatment from the liver"and"truncation and torsion"were established,emphasizing stage-specific interventions.For the qi stagnation stage,treatment focuses on soothing the liver and regulating qi,as well as moistening,harmonizing,and descending the qi.This is achieved by combining modified Chaihu Shugan Powder with Xuanfu Daizhe Decoction,while using pungent and drying herbs cautiously and supplementing them with light and floral herbs.In the heat transformation stage,the strategy aims to clear the liver and drain heat while protecting yin and harmonizing the stomach,employing modified Huaganjian combined with Yiguanjian and supplemented with Jinlingzi Powder to clear depressed fire.For the blood stasis formation stage,treatment involves activating blood and resolving stasis,combined with supporting healthy qi and removing toxins.This is achieved using a modified Gexia Zhuyu Decoction,supplemented with Liujunzi Decoction,and additions such as Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae and turtle carapace to disperse nodules and reduce masses.This theoretical framework establishes a diagnostic and therapeutic model characterized by the integration of disease mechanisms with pathology and the mutual reference of macro-level signs with micro-level indicators.It provides a comprehensive clinical practice pathway,complete with principles,methods,formulas,and herbs,for the stage-specific interception of inflammation-cancer transformation in BE using traditional Chinese medicine.
