ObjectiveTo understand the infection characteristics of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) in hospitalized patients in a tertiary sentinel hospital in Shanghai, so as to provide an evidence for the development of targeted prevention and control measures. MethodsData of MDROs strains and corresponding medical records of some hospitalized patients in a hospital in Shanghai from 2021 to 2023 were collected, together with an analysis of the basic information, clinical treatment, underlying diseases and sources of sample collection. ResultsA total of 134 strains of MDROs isolated from hospitalized patients in this hospital were collected from 2021 to 2023 , including 63 strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), 57 strains of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), and 14 strains of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). Of the 134 strains, 30 strains were found in 2021, 47 strains in 2022 and 57 strains in 2023. The male-to-female ratio of patients was 2.05∶1, with the highest percentage (70.90%) in the age group of 60‒<90 years. The primary diagnosis was mainly respiratory disease, with lung and respiratory tract as the cheif infection sites. There was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of strains between different genders and infection sites (P>0.05). However, the differences in the distribution of strains between different ages and primary diagnosis were statistically significant (P<0.05). Patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), had urinary tract intubation, were not artery or vein intubated, were not on a ventilator, were not using immunosuppresants or hormones, and were not applying radiotherapy or chemotherapy were in the majority. There was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of strains for whether received radiotherapy or chemotherapy or not (P>0.05), while the differences in the distribution of strains with ICU admission history, urinary tract intubation, artery or vein intubation, ventilator use, and immunosuppresants or hormones use or not were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The type of specimen was mainly sputum, the hospitalized ward was mainly comprehensive ICU, the sampling time was mainly in the first quarter throughout the year, the number of underlying diseases was mainly between 1 to 2 kinds, the application of antibiotics ≥4 kinds, and those who didn’t receive any surgery recently accounted for the most. There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of strains between different specimen types, wards occupied and history of ICU stay (P<0.05), but no statistically significant difference in the distribution of strains between different sampling times, number of underlying diseases and types of antibiotics applied (P>0.05). ConclusionThe situation of prevention and control on MDROs in this hospital is still serious. Focus should be placed on high-risk factors’ and infection monitoring and preventive measures should be strengthened to reduce the incidence rate of MDROs infection.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the application value of pediatric sepsis-induced coagulation (pSIC) score and mean platelet volume/platelet count (MPV/PLT) ratio in the diagnosis of pediatric sepsis and the determination of critical pediatric sepsis. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, selecting 112 children with sepsis (sepsis group) admitted to pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of Liaocheng Second People's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 as the study objects, and 50 children without sepsis admitted to the pediatric surgery department of our hospital during the same period for elective surgery due to inguinal hernia as the control (control group). The children with sepsis were divided into two groups according to the pediatric critical case score (PCIS). The children with PCIS score of ≤ 80 were classified as critically ill group, and those with PCIS score of > 80 was classified as non-critically ill group. pSIC score, coagulation indicators [prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and fibrinogen (FIB)], and platelet related indicators (PLT, MPV, and MPV/PLT ratio) were collected. Pearson correlation method was used to analyze the correlation between pSIC score and MPV/PLT ratio as well as their correlation with coagulation indicators. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the independent risk factors for pediatric sepsis and critical pediatric sepsis. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn to evaluate the application value of the above independent risk factors on the diagnosis of pediatric sepsis and the determination of critical pediatric sepsis. RESULTS: 112 children with sepsis and 50 children without sepsis were enrolled in the final analysis. pSIC score, PT, INR, APTT, FIB, MPV, and MPV/PLT ratio in the sepsis group were significantly higher than those in the control group [pSIC score: 0.93±0.10 vs. 0.06±0.03, PT (s): 14.76±0.38 vs. 12.23±0.15, INR: 1.26±0.03 vs. 1.06±0.01, APTT (s): 40.08±0.94 vs. 32.47±0.54, FIB (g/L): 3.51±0.11 vs. 2.31±0.06, MPV (fL): 8.86±0.14 vs. 7.62±0.11, MPV/PLT ratio: 0.037±0.003 vs. 0.022±0.001, all P < 0.01], and PLT was slightly lower than that in the control group (×10⁹/L: 306.00±11.01 vs. 345.90±10.57, P > 0.05). Among 112 children with sepsis, 46 were critically ill and 66 were non-critically ill. pSIC score, PT, INR, APTT, MPV, and MPV/PLT ratio in the critically ill group were significantly higher than those in the non-critically ill group [pSIC score: 1.74±0.17 vs. 0.36±0.07, PT (s): 16.55±0.80 vs. 13.52±0.23, INR: 1.39±0.07 vs. 1.17±0.02, APTT (s): 43.83±1.72 vs. 37.77±0.95, MPV (fL): 9.31±0.23 vs. 8.55±0.16, MPV/PLT ratio: 0.051±0.006 vs. 0.027±0.001, all P < 0.05], PLT was significantly lower than that in the non-critically ill group (×10⁹/L: 260.50±18.89 vs. 337.70±11.90, P < 0.01), and FIB was slightly lower than that in the non-critically ill group (g/L: 3.28±0.19 vs. 3.67±0.14, P > 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that pSIC score was significantly positively correlated with MPV/PLT ratio and coagulation indicators including PT, APTT and INR in pediatric sepsis (r value was 0.583, 0.571, 0.296 and 0.518, respectively, all P < 0.01), and MPV/PLT ratio was also significantly positively correlated with PT, APTT and INR (r value was 0.300, 0.203 and 0.307, respectively, all P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that pSIC score and MPV/PLT ratio were independent risk factors for pediatric sepsis and critical pediatric sepsis [pediatric sepsis: odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) for pSIC score was 14.117 (4.190-47.555), and the OR value and 95%CI for MPV/PLT ratio was 1.128 (1.059-1.202), both P < 0.01; critical pediatric sepsis: the OR value and 95%CI for pSIC score was 8.142 (3.672-18.050), and the OR value and 95%CI for MPV/PLT ratio was 1.068 (1.028-1.109), all P < 0.01]. ROC curve analysis showed that pSIC score and MPV/PLT ratio had certain application value in the diagnosis of pediatric sepsis [area under the ROC curve (AUC) and 95%CI was 0.754 (0.700-0.808) and 0.720 (0.643-0.798), respectively] and the determination of critical pediatric sepsis [AUC and 95%CI was 0.849 (0.778-0.919) and 0.731 (0.632-0.830)], and the combined AUC of the two indictors was 0.815 (95%CI was 0.751-0.879) and 0.872 (95%CI was 0.806-0.938), respectively. CONCLUSIONS pSIC score and MPV/PLT ratio have potential application value in the diagnosis of pediatric sepsis and the determination of critical pediatric sepsis, and the combined application of both is more valuable.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum estradiol(E2)levels on the day before transcervical resection of adhesion(TCRA)and pregnancy outcomes in moderate-severe intrauterine adhesion(IUA).Methods:Clinical data of patients with moderate-severe IUA diagnosed and received TCRA in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from January 2018 to December 2019 were extracted and ana-lyzed.The primary outcome indicator was the pregnancy rate during the 12-month follow-up period.Multiple re-gression analysis,smoothed curve fitting and recursive algorithm analysis were applied in this study.Results:A-mong the 288 patients who met the inclusion criteria,222 met the criteria and were finally included in the analysis.The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the E 2 level on the day before surgery was negatively cor-related with the pregnancy rate after TCRA(aOR 0.77,95% CI 0.63-0.93,P=0.0074).Recursive algorithm a-nalysis showed that when the preoperative serum E2 level was less than 380.6 pmol/L,for every increase of 36.7 pmol/L pregnancy rate decreased by approximately 20% (aOR 0.78,95% CI 0.67-0.89,P=0.0004).Conclusions:The results suggest that preoperative serum E2 levels are negatively associated with pregnancy outcomes in patients with moderate-to-severe IUA.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between serum leptin (LEP), adiponectin (ADP) levels and bone metabolism indexes in pregnant GDM women complicated with osteoporosis.Methods:A total of 120 GDM patients admitted to our hospital from Dec. 2020 to Dec. 2023 were included as the observation group, and 30 healthy pregnant women were chosen as the control group. The levels of serum LEP, ADP, bone metabolism indexes [parathyroid hormone (PTH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), 25-hydroxyvitamin D, amino terminal and middle osteocalcin (N-MID) ] were compared. The relationship between serum LEP, ADP and PTH, ALP, 25-hydroxyvitamin D and N-MID was analyzed by Pearson correlation, and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum LEP and ADP levels in gestational diabetes mellitus complicated with osteoporosis.Results:The observation group had higher LEP level, but lower ADP, PTH, 25-hydroxyvitamin D and N-MID level ( t=10.08, 7.19, 12.70, 15.05, 20.54, P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in ALP between the two groups ( t=0.78, P>0.05) ; 25 had osteoporosis and 95 did not. LEP levels in the osteoporosis subgroup were significantly higher than those in the non-osteoporosis subgroup, and ADP, PTH, 25-hydroxyvitamin D and N-MID levels were significantly lower ( t=4.44, 3.06, 3.51, 3.18, 3.00, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in ALP level between the two groups ( t=0.38, P>0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum LEP and ADP were significantly correlated with PTH, 25-hydroxyvitamin D and N-MID in pregnant GDM women ( P<0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of serum LEP, ADP and combined test in pregnant GDM women complicated with osteoporosis were 0.723, 0.650 and 0.755, respectively. Conclusion:Serum LEP level increases and ADP level decreases significantly in pregnant GDM women complicated with osteoporosis, which is closely related to bone metabolism indexes, and can assist in early diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus complicated with osteoporosis.
