Objective:To analyze the predictive value of dynamic changes of myocardial enzymes for late microvascu-lar obstruction(MVO)in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods:The clinical data of 123 AMI patients who underwent PCI in Peking University Third Hospital Qinhuangdao Hospital between June 2020 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into late MVO group(n=52)and non-late MVO group(n=71)according to the occurrence of late MVO 4-7 d after PCI.The myocardial enzyme spectrum indexes of the two groups before and 1 d after operation were collect-ed.Myocardial enzyme spectrum indexes were compared between the two groups.Multivariate Logistic regression a-nalysis was used to analyze the related factors affecting late MVO in AMI patients after PCI.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to analyze the predictive efficacy of myocardial enzyme changes for late MVO in AMI patients after PCI.Results:At 1 d after operation,compared to patients in non-late MVO group,those in the late MVO group had significant higher lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)[(332.12±34.28)IU/L vs.(308.66±30.9)IU/L],aspartate aminotransferase(AST)[(64.89±6.11)IU/L vs.(58.84±4.96)IU/L],crea-tine kinase(CK)[(240.60±32.51)IU/L vs.(214.69±30.27)IU/L],creatine kinase isoenzyme(CK-MB)[(35.01±4.73)IU/L vs.(30.27±4.60)IU/L]and α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase(α-HBDH)[(55.24±4.20)U/L vs.(50.64±3.87)U/L](P<0.001 all).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that LDH(OR 1.034,95%CI 1.013~1.054),AST(OR 1.173,95%CI 1.052~1.308),CK(OR 1.038,95%CI 1.014~1.062),CK-MB(OR 1.310,95%CI 1.139~1.508)and α-HBDH(OR 1.379,95%CI 1.167~1.630)at 1 d af-ter operation were independent risk factors of late MVO in AMI patients after PCI(P<0.01 all).ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of LDH,AST,CK,CK-MB,α-HBDH alone and combined detec-tion in predicting late MVO in AMI patients after PCI were 0.705(95%CI 0.609~0.801),0.793(95%CI 0.707~0.879),0.712(95%CI 0.621~0.804),0.767(95%CI 0.683~0.851),0.798(95%CI 0.718~0.878)and 0.950(95%CI 0.914~0.986)respectively.The AUC of combined prediction was better than those of single predic-tions(Z=2.807~4.882,P<0.05 or<0.01).Conclusion:Changes in myocardial enzyme spectrum may increase the risk of late MVO in AMI patients after PCI and combined detection have good predictive efficacy for it.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the association between long-term exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) and its constituents and the risk of incident type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to examine the modification roles of overweight status.
METHODS:
This prospective study included 27,507 adults living in rural China. The annual mean residential exposure to PM 2.5 and its constituents was estimated using a satellite-based statistical model. Cox models were used to estimate the risk of T2DM associated with PM 2.5 and its constituents. Stratified analysis quantified the role of overweight status in the association between PM 2.5 constituents and T2DM.
RESULTS:
Over a median follow-up of 9.4 years, 3,001 new T2DM cases were identified. The hazard ratio ( HR) for a 10 μg/m 3 increase in ambient PM 2.5 was 1.30 (95% confidence interval [ CI]: 1.17, 1.45). Among the constituents, the strongest association was observed with black carbon. Being overweight significantly modified the association between certain constituents and the risk of T2DM. Participants who were overweight and exposed to the highest quartile of PM 2.5 constituents had the highest risk of T2DM ( HR: 2.46, 95% CI: 2.04, 2.97).
CONCLUSIONS
Our findings indicate that PM 2.5 was associated with an increased risk of T2DM, with black carbon potentially being the primary contributor. Being overweight appeared to enhance the association between PM 2.5 and T2DM. This suggests that controlling both PM 2.5 exposure and overweight status may reduce the burden of T2DM.

Objective:To report the nationwide surveillance results of pathogenic profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Gram-positive bloodstream infections in China in 2023.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-posttive bacteria from blood cultures were collected in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System(BRICS)during January to December 2023. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the dilution method recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI). Statistical analyses were conducted using WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software.Results:A total of 4 385 Gram-positive bacterial isolates were obtained from 60 participating center. The top five pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus( n=1 544,35.2%),coagulase-negative Staphylococci( n=1 441,32.9%), Enterococcus faecium( n=574,13.1%), Enterococcus faecalis( n=385,8.8%),and α-hemolytic Streptococci( n=187,4.3%). The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci(MRCNS)was 26.2%(405/1 544)and 69.8%(1 006/1 441),respectively. Notably,all Staphylococci remained susceptible to glycopeptide or daptomycin. Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated excellent susceptibility(>97.0%)to cephalobiol,rifampicin,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,linezolid,minocycline,tigecycline,and eravacycline. No Enterococcus exhibiting resistance to linezolid were detected. Glycopeptide resistance was uncommon but more frequent in Enterococcus faecium(resistance to vancomycin and teicoplanin:both 1.7%)compared to Enterococcus faecalis(both 0.3%). The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS exhibited significant regional variations across the country( χ2=17.674 and 148.650,respectively,both P<0.001). No vancomycin-resistant Enterococci were detected in central China. Institutional comparison demonstrated higher prevalence of MRSA( χ2=14.111, P<0.001)and MRCNS( χ2=4.828, P=0.028)in provincial hospitals than that in municipal hospitals. Socioeconomic analysis identified elevated detection rates of both MRSA( χ2=18.986, P<0.001)and MRCNS( χ2=4.477, P=0.034)in less developed regions(per capita GDP

Objective:To report the results of bacterial resistant investigation collaborative system(BRICS)on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-negative bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2023,and provide reference for clinical tretment of bloodstream infections and prevention and control of bacterial resistance.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of BRICS were collected during January 2023 to December 2023. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI). WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period,11 492 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 60 hospitals,of which 10 098(87.9%)were Enterobacterales and 1 394(12.1%)were non-fermentative bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli(50.0%), Klebsiella pneumoniae(26.1%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa(5.1%), Acinetobacter baumannii complex(5.0%)and Enterobacter cloacae complex(4.1%). The ESBL-producing rates in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirablilis were 46.8%(2 685/5 741),18.3%(549/2 999)and 44.0%(77/175),respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli(CREC)and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)were 1.3%(76/5 741)and 15.0%(450/2 999);32.9%(25/76)and 78.0%(351/450)of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to ceftazidime/avibactam combination,respectively. 94.7%(72/76)and 90.2%(406/450)of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to aztreonam/avibactam combination. Furthermore,57.9%(44/76)and 79.1%(356/450)were sensitive to imipenem/relebactam combination. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB)complex was 64.6%(370/573),while more than 80.0% of CRAB complex was sensitive to tigecycline,eravacycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(CRPA)was 17.0%(99/581). There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of important Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions in China,with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CREC,CRKP,CRPA and CRAB complex( χ2=10.6,28.6,10.8 and 19.3, P<0.05). The prevalence of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli, CREC,CRAB complex and CRKP were higher in provincial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals( χ2=12.5,9.8,12.7 and 57.8,all P<0.01). Conclusions:Gram-negative bacteria are the main pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China,and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top,while the trend of Klebsiella pneumoniae increases continuously with time. CRKP infection shows a slow upward trend,CREC infecton maintains a low prevalence level,and CRAB complex infection continues to exhibit a high prevalence rate. The composition and resistance patterns of pathogens causing bloodstream infections vary to some extent across different regions and levels of hospitals in China.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.
