Objective To explore the safety of establishing the veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(VA-ECMO)pipeline through percutaneous puncture and the effectiveness of high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention(HR-PCI)under VA-ECMO assistance.Methods In this single-center retrospective study,patients who underwent HR-PCI assisted by VA-ECMO at Wuhan Asian Heart Hospital from December 2022 to December 2023 were included.The primary endpoint was the safety of establishing the VA-ECMO pipeline through percutaneous puncture,mainly characterized by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)-related complications,including severe bleeding/hematoma at the wound,arteriovenous fistula,pseudoaneurysm,peripheral arterial dissection,etc.The secondary endpoint was the effectiveness of HR-PCI under VA-ECMO assistance,defined as major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events(MACCE)at 6-month follow-up,including the composite events of all-cause death,non-fatal myocardial infarction,repeat revascularization,and ischemic stroke.Results Among the 189 patients included in the study,15(7.9％)had severe bleeding/hematoma at the puncture wound caused by VA-ECMO,8(4.2％)had wound infection,1(0.5％)had arteriovenous fistula,4(2.1％)had pseudoaneurysm,3(1.6％)had peripheral arterial dissection,8(4.2％)had systemic embolism,8(4.2％)had acute kidney injury,3(1.6％)had acute neurological injury,and 1(0.5％)died.percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)was successful in 182 cases(96.3％),and a total of 36 cases(19.0％)had PCI-related complications.164 patients completed 6-month follow-up,among which 4(2.4％)had all-cause death,11(6.7％)had non-fatal myocardial infarction,11(6.7％)had unplanned repeat revascularization,and 2(1.2％)had the composite event of ischemic stroke.Conclusions Ultrasound-guided percutaneous puncture for establishing the VA-ECMO pipeline has high safety,and HR-PCI patients assisted by VA-ECMO have good short-term effects.

Objective:To investigate the preferences and influencing factors of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)health management services among community healthcare workers,providing a reference for promoting and spreading TCM health management services in communities.Methods:Based on a discrete choice experiment,a questionnaire survey was conducted among 596 community healthcare workers across 9 administrative districts in Beijing.A mixed logit model was used to analyze their preferences.Results:Changes in post-tax monthly income,expected efficacy,single-service duration,technical difficulty,patient compliance,and insurance coverage significantly influenced community doctors'service preferences.Changes in post-tax monthly income had the highest relative importance(35.11%),followed by insurance coverage(34.87%).Preferences varied among healthcare workers with different professional titles,backgrounds,weekly working hours,and whether the service was included in performance evaluations.Conclusion:Both economic and non-economic factors influence community healthcare workers'service preferences to varying degrees.Optimizing the combination of TCM health management service attributes can enhance community healthcare workers'willingness to provide such services.It is recommended to use a combination of economic and non-economic incentive measures and develop differentiated strategies for healthcare workers with different characteristics to meet their service preferences and promote the development of TCM health management services in communities.

Aim To explore the mechanism of Lycium barbarum glycopeptide(LbGP)improving aging in rat primary ovarian granulosa cells.Methods This study divided the cells into a normal group,a DOX group,and four different LbGP concentration treatment groups post-DOX intervention.Results Cell proliferation was assessed using CCK-8,EDU,and Ki67 assays,while aging markers and mitochondrial function-related fac-tors were detected using immunofluorescence and West-ern blotting.The results showed that,compared to the DOX group,LbGP treatment significantly increased cell viability(P＜0.05)and promoted proliferation(P＜0.05).Post LbGP treatment,the β-galactosidase-posi-tive area in cells was significantly reduced compared to the DOX group(P＜0.05).Immunofluorescence re-sults indicated that,compared to the DOX group,levels of p21 and γH2AX significantly decreased(P＜0.05),while pRB increased(P＜0.05)after LbGP treatment.Western blot results showed that,compared to the DOX group,the aging phenotype proteins p21 and p53 significantly decreased(P＜0.05),and pRB notably increased(P＜0.05)in the LbGP treatment group.The release of cytC into the cytoplasm and the activated caspase-9 significantly decreased(P＜0.05);levels of CAMKK2,pAMPK,and mitochondrial calcium homeostasis regulator MCU increased(P＜0.05);nuclear energy metabolism-related proteins SirT1,PGC1α/β and ATP5A1 significantly increased(P＜0.05);compared to the DOX group,ROS levels significantly decreased after LbGP treatment(P＜0.05).Conclusions The results suggest that LbGP can ameliorate DOX-induced aging in rat primary ovar-ian granulosa cells,potentially through the upregulation of the CAMKKβ/AMPK signaling pathway,thereby im-proving mitochondrial calcium homeostasis and increas-ing the expression levels of cell energy metabolism-re-lated regulatory proteins.This provides an experimen-tal basis for LbGP's potential role in supporting the im-provement of ovarian function.

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.

Objective To evaluate the quality of cisatracurium besilate injection produced by domestic manufacturers.Methods A comprehensive evaluation of 104 batches of samples was carried out using statutory testing methods combined withexploratory research,including related substances,1,5-pentanediol diacrylate,residual solvents,genotoxic impurities of benzenesulfonate esters,infrared spectrum,and endotoxin examination.The quality of domestic products and the controllability of current specifications were comprehensively evaluated.Results According to the statutory tests,the qualified rate of 104 batches of samples was 100.0％.The exploratory research showed that the results of related substances in the samples produced by 6 manufacturers were far below the limit,and no genotoxic impurities of benzenesulfonate esters were detected.However,the results showed that there was variability in 1,5-pentanediol diacrylate,as well as residual solvents.Conclusions The quality of the cisatracurium besilate injection is good,and the current specifications should be further improved and unified.It was proposed that the infrared spectrum,related substance,and 1,5-pentanediol diacrylate method be added or revised,and the limit of endotoxin strictly controlled.It was proposed that manufacturers pay attention to the quality of API and control injection production.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma(ACC)of the cervix is a rare and highly aggressive subtype of cervical cancer,accounting for less than 1%of all cervical cancer cases.ACC predominantly affects postmenopausal women over the age of 60,with postmenopausal vaginal bleeding being the most common symptom.Diagnosis of ACC primarily relies on histopathological examination and immunohistochemical analysis.Although there is currently no standard treatment protocol,surgical resection combined with radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy is considered to be an effective approach.However,the effectiveness is limited,particularly in advanced cases,which generally have a poor prognosis.The treatment and prognosis of ACC are closely related to tumor staging,perineural invasion,and margin status.This paper discusses the clinical data and follow-up of six ACC patients treated at our institution,and goes through a literature review,examines its clinical features and treatment outcomes,underscores the critical importance of early diagnosis and individualized treatment.
