Objective To screen the anti-Streptococcus pneumoniae(Spn)active ingredients in vitro from different po-lar parts of Pilea peltata,and to examine the combined antibacterial effect of the active ingredient and amoxicillin(AMX).Methods A 96-well plate microdilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)of different polar parts;the most active polar part was separated by preparative high-performance liquid chromatography,and the active ingre-dients were identified using spectral technology.The fractional inhibitory concentration(FIC)of active ingredients and AMX was determined by the 96-well plate chessboard microdilution method.The crystal violet method was used to investigate the effect of ac-tive ingredients on Spn biofilm.The effect of active ingredients on the appearance and morphology of Spn was investigated under the electron microscope.Results The MICs of the petroleum ether part,chloroform part,ethyl acetate part,n-butanol part,and water part were 1.000,1.000,0.500,1.000,and 2.000 mg·mL-1 respectively,among which the ethyl acetate part had the stron-gest antibacterial activity.Three compounds were isolated from ethyl acetate,namely 5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone 1,8-O-(p-coumaroyl)-1(10)E,4(5)E-humuladien-8-ol 2 and 1-O-p-coumaroyl copaborneol 3.These compounds were all isolated for the first time from Pilea peltate,their MICs against Spn were 200.000,50.000,and 25.000 μg·mL-1 respectively,and the compound 3 had the strongest antibacterial activity;the FIC value of AMX and compound 3 was 0.50,which had a synergistic antibacterial effect on Spn.Both AMX and compound 3 had inhibitory effects on Spn biofilm,but the biofilm inhibition rate of compound 3(59.10±1.04％)was significantly lower than AMX(87.38±0.84)％(P＜0.01);Moreover,there was no significant difference in biofilm inhibition rate between the combination of the two and AMX(P＞0.05).The scanning electron microscope results showed that the bacterial cells in the compound 3 group had a smooth surface but varying degrees of depression.The surface of the bacteri-al cells in the AMX group and the AMX combined compound 3 group showed severe swelling and rupture.Conclusions Fla-vonoids and sesquiterpenoids are both the anti-Spn active components of Pilea peltate.Among them,sesquiterpenoids have more potent antibacterial activity,and their antibacterial action mechanism is related to inhibiting bacterial biofilms.Compound 3 and AMX have a synergistic antibacterial effect on Spn,but its mechanism of action is not by enhancing biofilm inhibition;although compound 3 cannot destroy the cell wall of Spn,it still has a negative impact on the appearance of the bacteria.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of common complications following vaginal delivery and analyze their influencing factors among women of reproductive age.Methods:This prospective cohort study consecutively enrolled women who delivered vaginally at two campuses of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University between February and July 2023. Participants were categorized into groups according to complication occurrence: those with obstetric laceration versus those without, postpartum hemorrhage versus non-hemorrhage, and retained placenta/membranes without hemorrhage vs. non-retention. Data were collected using a self-developed questionnaire on risk factors for vaginal delivery complications. Group comparisons of demographics, obstetric history, intrapartum assessments, and delivery outcomes were performed using Chi-square test (or Fisher's exact test), independent samples t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test. Multivariate logistic regression identified risk factors for the three complication types. Results:Among 1 966 vaginal deliveries, the overall complication rate was 8.1% (159/1 966), with obstetric lacerations representing the most frequent complication at 4.6% (91/1 966), followed by postpartum hemorrhage at 2.7% (53/1 966) and retained placenta/membranes without hemorrhage at 1.4% (27/1 966). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified distinct sets of independent risk factors for each complication. For obstetric lacerations, adequate gestational weight gain was associated with a reduced risk ( OR=0.547, 95% CI: 0.332-0.900, P=0.018), while precipitous labor ( OR=2.633, 95% CI: 1.321-5.248, P=0.006), shoulder dystocia ( OR=2.495, 95% CI: 1.093-5.691, P=0.030), poor maternal cooperation ( OR=1.887, 95% CI: 1.061-3.359, P=0.031), and specific perineal conditions—particularly reduced skin folds ( OR=2.341, 95% CI: 1.247-4.395, P=0.008) and tight/thick/edematous skin ( OR=2.511, 95% CI: 1.248-5.054, P=0.010)—emerged as significant risk factors. Regarding postpartum hemorrhage, conception through assisted reproductive technology ( OR=3.286, 95% CI: 1.189-9.076, P=0.022), presence of obstetric comorbidities ( OR=2.460, 95% CI: 1.070-5.656, P=0.034), elevated D-dimer levels ( OR=1.157, 95% CI: 1.049-1.277, P=0.004), reduced fibrinogen ( OR=0.521, 95% CI: 0.319-0.851, P=0.009), weak uterine contractions ( OR=20.175, 95% CI: 10.352-39.321, P<0.001), abnormal placentation ( OR=2.434, 95% CI: 1.167-5.078, P=0.018), and absence of early skin-to-skin contact ( OR=0.141, 95% CI: 0.067-0.295, P<0.001) were independently associated with increased risk. For retained placenta/membranes without hemorrhage, prolonged thrombin time ( OR=0.117, 95% CI: 0.034-0.318, P<0.001) and abnormal placentation ( OR=51.843, 95% CI: 14.988-179.324, P<0.001) were identified as primary risk factors. Conclusions:While the overall incidence of complications following vaginal delivery among women of reproductive age is relatively low, high-risk groups warrant particular attention. Precipitous labor, shoulder dystocia, poor maternal cooperation, and unfavorable perineal conditions increase laceration risk. Assisted conception, obstetric comorbidities, elevated D-dimer levels, uterine atony, and placental abnormalities elevate hemorrhage risk. Furthermore, placental abnormalities are strongly associated with retained placenta/membranes without hemorrhage.

Objective Using Meta-analysis to systematically evaluate the incidence and risk factors of pulmonary infection occurring in patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS)after receiving mechanical thrombectomy.Methods A computerized retrieval of academic papers concerning the case-control study and cohort study of lung infection in patients with AIS after mechanical thrombectomy from the databases of PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Cochrane Library,China Knowledge Network,Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform,and Wipro.com databases was conducted by two independent investigators.The retrieval time period was from the establishment of the database to December 2023.STAT A 16.0 software was used to make the Meta-analysis of the extracted literature.Results A total of 10 literature were included,with a combined sample size of 6 149 cases and 2 076 cases occurring lung infections.Meta-analysis revealed that the pulmonary infection in patients after mechanical thrombectomy for AIS showed a high degree of heterogeneity in the included studies(I2=97.87％,P＜0.001),and a random-effects model yielded an incidence of 31.8％for pulmonary infection.Risk factors for the occurrence of postoperative lung infection included atrial fibrillation(OR=1.33,95％CI:1.10-1.6,P=0.004),dysphagia(OR=3.83,95％CI:2.43-6.05,P＜0.001),high NIHSS score(OR=1.43,95％CI:1.05-1.94,P=0.023),impaired consciousness(OR=2.29,95％CI:1.38-3.81,P＜0.001),and intraoperative use of sedative drugs(OR=3.21,95％CI:2.91-3.54,P＜0.001).Conclusion The existing evidences indicate that patient's age ≥60 years,atrial fibrillation,dysphagia,impaired consciousness,high NIHSS score,and intraoperative use of sedative drugs are risk factors for the occurrence of pulmonary infection in AIS patients after receiving mechanical thrombectomy.In clinical practice,these risk factors should be highly valued,and these risk factors should be included in the postoperative comprehensive assessment and intervention strategies for patients so as to reduce the incidence of pulmonary infection.

Objective To evaluate the risk factors for pulmonary infection in patients with acute ischemic stroke after receiving mechanical thrombectomy and to construct a risk prediction model based on machine-learning algorithm technology.Methods A total of 315 patients with acute ischemic stroke,who received mechanical thrombectomy at the Kunming Yan'an Hospital and Kunming Municipal First People's Hospital,were enrolled in this study.The 315 patients who were admitted to the hospital between January 2019 and December 2023 were collected as the modeling group,and other 73 patients who were admitted to the hospital between January 2024 and September 2024 were collected as the validation group.The demographic materials and the clinical diagnosis and treatment data were collected within 24 h after admission,and the risk factors for pulmonary infection after mechanical thrombectomy were analyzed.A total of seven machine learning algorithms were employed to establish a predictive model for pulmonary infection in patients with large-vessel occlusive stroke after receiving mechanical thrombectomy.Based on the accuracy,recall,precision,F1 index,and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC),the performance of model was evaluated.Results The comprehensive performance in accuracy,recall,precision,F1 index and AUC of the gradient boosting classifier in both the modeling group and the validation group are all excellent.Conclusion The risk prediction model constructed on the basis of machine-learning algorithm technology can early identify lung infection and discover the risk factors in patients with acute ischemic stroke after receiving mechanical thrombectomy,therefore,the prevention and control measures can be promptly taken,the incidence of lung infection can be effectively decreased.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and clinical features of infectious diseases of the central nervous system (CNS).Methods:A cross-sectional study and analysis were conducted to summarize the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of 9 918 patients with CNS infectious diseases, who were diagnosed and treated at 29 hospitals across China from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2020. Data collected included demographic data, clinical manifestations, health economic indicators, and prognostic outcomes.Results:Among the 9 918 collected cases of CNS infectious diseases, 5 559 were male (56.0%) and 4 359 were female (44.0%), with an onset age of 38 (25, 53) years. Education level: slightly more junior high school education (2 651 cases, 26.7%), and less elementary school education and below (2 181 cases, 22.0%) were found. Occupational distribution: farmers were found predominant (3 215 cases, 32.4%), followed by workers (1 826 cases, 18.4%) and students (1 633 cases, 16.5%). Clinical manifestations: headache (6 074 cases, 61.2%), fever (5 869 cases, 59.2%) and positive meningeal irritation signs (2 273 cases, 22.9%) were the 3 most common clinical manifestations, followed by nausea and (or) vomiting (2 095 cases, 21.1%), impaired consciousness (2 077 cases, 20.9%), psychiatric symptom (1 866 cases, 18.8%) and epilepsy (1 627 cases, 16.4%), etc., and cranial nerve involvement was found in 669 cases (6.7%). Major pathogens included viruses in 6 814 cases (68.7%), Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 1 677 cases (16.9%), common bacteria in 864 cases (8.7%), fungi in 254 cases (2.6%), spirochetes of syphilis in 183 cases (1.8%), parasites in 121 cases (1.2%), and rickettsiae in 5 cases (0.1%). Urban-rural distribution: slightly more cases were found in the countryside (5 418 cases, 54.6%) than in the towns (4 500 cases, 45.4%). Distribution of onset by season: 2 412 cases (24.3%) fell ill in spring, 2 835 cases (28.6%) in summer, 2 187 cases (22.1%) in fall, and 2 484 cases (25.0%) in winter. Health economics: the duration of hospitalization was 15 (8, 27) days, and the cost of hospitalization was 1.53 (0.91, 3.02)×10 000 yuan. Prognosis: 9 531 cases (96.1%) were cured or improved, and 92 cases (0.9%) died. Conclusions:The pathogens responsible for CNS infectious diseases are predominantly viruses. Although the incidence is slightly higher during the summer months, the overall seasonal pattern is not particularly pronounced. These infections are more commonly observed in young and middle-aged males and present with a diverse range of clinical manifestations, contributing to a significant disease burden.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of common complications following vaginal delivery and analyze their influencing factors among women of reproductive age.Methods:This prospective cohort study consecutively enrolled women who delivered vaginally at two campuses of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University between February and July 2023. Participants were categorized into groups according to complication occurrence: those with obstetric laceration versus those without, postpartum hemorrhage versus non-hemorrhage, and retained placenta/membranes without hemorrhage vs. non-retention. Data were collected using a self-developed questionnaire on risk factors for vaginal delivery complications. Group comparisons of demographics, obstetric history, intrapartum assessments, and delivery outcomes were performed using Chi-square test (or Fisher's exact test), independent samples t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test. Multivariate logistic regression identified risk factors for the three complication types. Results:Among 1 966 vaginal deliveries, the overall complication rate was 8.1% (159/1 966), with obstetric lacerations representing the most frequent complication at 4.6% (91/1 966), followed by postpartum hemorrhage at 2.7% (53/1 966) and retained placenta/membranes without hemorrhage at 1.4% (27/1 966). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified distinct sets of independent risk factors for each complication. For obstetric lacerations, adequate gestational weight gain was associated with a reduced risk ( OR=0.547, 95% CI: 0.332-0.900, P=0.018), while precipitous labor ( OR=2.633, 95% CI: 1.321-5.248, P=0.006), shoulder dystocia ( OR=2.495, 95% CI: 1.093-5.691, P=0.030), poor maternal cooperation ( OR=1.887, 95% CI: 1.061-3.359, P=0.031), and specific perineal conditions—particularly reduced skin folds ( OR=2.341, 95% CI: 1.247-4.395, P=0.008) and tight/thick/edematous skin ( OR=2.511, 95% CI: 1.248-5.054, P=0.010)—emerged as significant risk factors. Regarding postpartum hemorrhage, conception through assisted reproductive technology ( OR=3.286, 95% CI: 1.189-9.076, P=0.022), presence of obstetric comorbidities ( OR=2.460, 95% CI: 1.070-5.656, P=0.034), elevated D-dimer levels ( OR=1.157, 95% CI: 1.049-1.277, P=0.004), reduced fibrinogen ( OR=0.521, 95% CI: 0.319-0.851, P=0.009), weak uterine contractions ( OR=20.175, 95% CI: 10.352-39.321, P<0.001), abnormal placentation ( OR=2.434, 95% CI: 1.167-5.078, P=0.018), and absence of early skin-to-skin contact ( OR=0.141, 95% CI: 0.067-0.295, P<0.001) were independently associated with increased risk. For retained placenta/membranes without hemorrhage, prolonged thrombin time ( OR=0.117, 95% CI: 0.034-0.318, P<0.001) and abnormal placentation ( OR=51.843, 95% CI: 14.988-179.324, P<0.001) were identified as primary risk factors. Conclusions:While the overall incidence of complications following vaginal delivery among women of reproductive age is relatively low, high-risk groups warrant particular attention. Precipitous labor, shoulder dystocia, poor maternal cooperation, and unfavorable perineal conditions increase laceration risk. Assisted conception, obstetric comorbidities, elevated D-dimer levels, uterine atony, and placental abnormalities elevate hemorrhage risk. Furthermore, placental abnormalities are strongly associated with retained placenta/membranes without hemorrhage.
