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.

Migratory birds are found worldwide.These birds are natural carriers of pathogens,because of their long-distance mi-grations across different climatic and geographic regions.The pathogens carried by migratory birds can enter ecosystems along migra-tory routes through direct and indirect contact between animal hosts,thereby potentially threatening the health of local poultry and even humans.Herein,we systematically analyzed evidence of pathogen spillover between migratory birds and poultry,and summa-rized the three modes of long-distance pathogen transmission by migratory birds(internal carriage,surface carriage,and environmen-tal contamination),as well as the two pathways of pathogen spillover between migratory birds and poultry(direct contact and indirect contact).Furthermore,this study proposes a multi-tiered mitigation strategy,grounded in the One Health framework,for targeting animal-environment-human interfaces to decrease the pathogen transmission risks associated with migratory birds.Key interventions include establishing an early-warning surveillance system for migratory flyways,enhancing biosecurity protocols in poultry production systems,and developing cross-regional risk assessment models for pathogen spread.Our findings provide critical theoretical founda-tions and empirical evidence for preventing zoonotic disease emergence and safeguarding sustainable poultry production.This inte-grated approach advances the coordinated development of biosafety measures and global health security.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical outcomes of a modified dual-plane implant augmentation mammoplasty via periareolar incision.Methods:The patients undergoing primary breast augmentation at Vcharm Plastic & Aesthetic Surgery Hospital of Chongqing from October 2018 to June 2023 were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. Participants were alternately assigned to Group A (traditional Tebbetts dual-plane implant augmentation mammoplasty) and Group B (modified dual-plane implant augmentation mammoplasty) based on admission sequence. The modified technique included sharp subfascial dissection above the 5th rib, oblique muscle dissection below the 5th rib to create a subpectoral pocket, and elevation of the serratus anterior and external oblique fascia to the newly defined inframammary fold. Implants were positioned with 70% in the subfascial plane superiorly and 30% in the submuscular-fascial plane inferiorly. Postoperative pain was assessed using the numerical rating scale (NRS, 0-10) during days 0-7. Patient satisfaction (breast morphology, breast softness in sitting and supine positions) and complications were evaluated at 12-month follow-up. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 24.0. The measurement data were expressed as Mean ± SD, and the inter-group comparisons were performed by t-test. The enumeration data were expressed as examples and (or) percentages, and the inter-group comparisons were performed by χ2 test or Fisher exact probability test. P<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results:Forty-eight female patients were included in Group A with age of (34.0±5.0) years and body mass index of (20.6±3.1) kg/m 2. Forty-three cases were received anatomical implants, and 5 cases rough round implants. The volume of implants was (265.0±12.5) cc. Fifty female patients were included in Group B with age of (35.0±4.5) years and body mass index of (21.5±3.7) kg/m 2. Forty-two cases were received anatomical implants and 8 cases rough round implants. The volume of implants was (262.0±15.0) cc. Baseline characteristics (age, body mass index, implant type, volume) showed no intergroup differences ( P>0.05). Group B demonstrated significantly lower NRS scores than Group A at all timepoints ( P<0.05). The immediate postoperative scores were 8.0±1.6 vs. 4.8±0.8, decreasing to 4.4±0.7 vs. 2.2±0.3 on Day 7. At 12 months, satisfaction rates for breast morphology[91.7%(44/48) vs. 92.0%(46/50)] and breast softness in sitting position [85.4%(41/48) vs. 86.0%(43/50) ] were comparable (both P>0.05). However, superior breast softness satisfaction in supine position was achieved in Group B [64.0%(32/50) vs. 43.8%(21/48), P<0.01] and fewer patients reported marked softness deterioration in supine position [28.0%(14/50) vs. 54.2%(6/48), P<0.01]. No hematoma, infection, delayed wound healing, implant malposition or wavy breast occurred in two groups. Capsular contracture occurred in 1 case per group. The implant was easy to be touched in 5 and 6 cases of Groups A and B, respectively ( P>0.05), while dynamic distortion was observed only in Group A (1 vs. 0, P<0.01). Conclusion:The modified dual-plane implant augmentation mammoplasty via periareolar incision significantly reduces postoperative pain, enhances breast softness in supine position, and prevents dynamic distortion without increasing complication risks, representing an optimized approach for implant-based augmentation.

Aim To establish a simple and practical method for visualizing neurovascular coupling in the mouse barrel cortex in vivo.Methods Male C57BL/6J mice received stereotaxic in-jections of pAAV-hSyn-jGCaMP7s-WPRE into the barrel cortex to monitor neuronal activity.Three weeks post-injection,a crani-al window was implanted,and TRITC-Dextran 155 ku was ad-ministered intravenously to visualize the vasculature and blood flow dynamics.A custom-built whisker stimulator was used to e-voke controlled neuronal excitation.Two-photon microscopy was employed to monitor neuronal and vascular responses to whisker stimulation in real-time.Results Neuronal calcium signals and plasma signals were clearly observed using two-photon microsco-py.Whisker stimulation led to a significant increase in neuronal calcium signals in the barrel cortex,indicating effective neuronal activation.This neuronal excitation was accompanied by a syn-chronous increase in blood vessel diameter,blood flow velocity and overall blood flow.Conclusions This study successfully establishes a three-dimensional visualization framework(spatial,temporal,and functional)for in vivo visualization of neurovascu-lar coupling in the mouse barrel cortex,which provides a useful tool for investigating the pathophysiological mechanisms of neuro-vascular dysfunction and evaluating the efficacy of potential ther-apies.

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.

This study analyzed the epidemiological characteristics of imported malaria in Yunnan Province from 2020 to 2023,to provide scientific evidence for formulating measures to decrease imported malaria and prevent re-establishment of malaria transmission.Malaria data reported by the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System were analyzed to determine parasite species;sources of infection;temporal,spatial,and population distributions;and importation routes.A total of 828 malaria cases were reported in the province.Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum accounted for 89.98％and 8.33％of cases,respectively.A total of 47.58％of cases were imported from Myanmar,and all P.falciparum malaria ca-ses were from Africa.Thirteen(81.25％)prefectures or municipalities reported malaria,among which Dehong,Baoshan,Kunming,and Lincang reported 94.32％of cases.A total of 52.54％of cases were in young men.The proportion of cross-bor-der personnel flow,land input,and aircraft input were 88.89％and 11.11％respectively.A total of 98.19％of patients sought medical care within 7 days after fever onset,and 82.85％initiated diagnosis for malaria,and 84.90％of diagnoses were con-firmed by health facilities at or below the county level.Imported malaria is a major challenge in preventing re-establishment of transmission in Yunnan.Most imported cases involved cross-border malaria transmission of mainly Plasmodium vivax between China and Myanmar.To achieve malaria elimination,vigilance of health staff in malaria diagnosis and treatment should be pro-moted,and intensive malaria health education should be provided to people traveling to malaria endemic territories,to enable individual protection,and timely diagnosis and treatment after return from endemic countries.
