Objective:To determine the epidemic characteristics of polymyxin resistance ( mcr) genes of Enterobacteriales colonized in patients admitted to hospitals in Zhejiang, Henan, Gansu and Shandong provinces in China in 2023. Methods:A comprehensive collection of 667 fecal specimens from patients admitted to five medical facilities across the provinces of Zhejiang, Henan, Gansu, and Shandong in 2023 was collected. Epidemiological characteristics of Enterobacteriales bacteria positive for the mcr gene were examined, employing techniques such as microbial culturing, using agarose gel electrophoresis, PCR, whole-genome sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, and the induction of antimicrobial resistance. Statistical analysis was subsequently applied to the gathered data. Results:Among 667 fecal samples from admitted patients, five samples were positive for mcr gene, with a carrier rate of 0.75%(5/667), and from two of the samples, two different strains carrying the mcr gene were isolated, respectively. A total of seven strains of Enterobacteriales carrying the mcr gene were detected, of which four strains carried mcr-1 gene and three strains carried mcr-9 gene. The positive isolates included three strains of Escherichia coli, one strain of Citrobacter braakii, Citrobacter freundii, one strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae, and one strain of Enterobacter hormaechei. The seven mcr positive strains were isolated from two distinct geographical locations within China, with four from Zhejiang Province and three from Henan Province. After whole-genome sequencing, it was found that the 16S rRNA sequences of the three strains of mcr-1 positive Escherichia coli had high homology. The three isolates of mcr-9 positive strains preserved a significant degree of homology within the mcr-9 and wbuC regions. Following polymyxin exposure, there was a marked difference in the growth kinetics of the ZJ-307, HN-11-1, and HN-135 strains post-induction compared to their pre-induction growth rates, and their motility capacity was reduced. Conclusions:The prevalence of Enterobacteriales harboring the mcr gene is minimal among hospitalized patients. However, it is noteworthy that these genes are prone to horizontal transfer. They can move into drug-resistant strains, which may have elevate minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC). Resistance to polymyxin can alter the bacterial growth rate and motility, potentially impacting the MIC of other antibiotics, thereby complicating clinical management. Consequently, it is imperative to focus on the proactive screening of susceptible populations to prevent the further dissemination of plasmid-mediated polymyxin resistance among clinically significant gram-negative bacterial pathogens.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous versus electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB)-guided microwave ablation (MWA) for the treatment of pulmonary nodules. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of high-risk pulmonary nodule patients who underwent MWA at the Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital between 2022 and 2023. The pathological diagnosis rate, complications, and progression-free survival (PFS) rate were compared between the CT group and the ENB group. Results There were 61 patients in the CT group, including 30 males and 31 females, with an average age of (67.22±9.13) years. There were 53 patients in the ENB group, including 29 males and 24 females, with an average age of (65.29±13.76) years. The pathological diagnosis rate in the CT group was slightly higher than that in the ENB group (88.52% vs. 71.69%, P=0.03). However, the ENB group exhibited a lower incidence of perioperative complications, including pneumothorax (16.39% vs. 3.77%, P=0.03), hemoptysis (19.67% vs. 5.66%, P=0.05), and pain (22.95% vs. 7.55%, P=0.03). There was no statistically significant difference in PFS rate between the two groups [HR=1.17, 95%CI (0.23, 5.81), P=0.85]. Conclusion Both CT-guided and ENB-guided MWA are effective treatment modalities for high-risk pulmonary nodules.

Objective:To investigate the effect of galactose lectin 3 (Gal-3) on the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation.Methods:This study adopts a case-control study method. 55 patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation (atrial fibrillation group) admitted to the First People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from February to July 2019 were selected, and another 55 healthy individuals who underwent physical examination at our hospital during the same period were selected as the control group. Compare the general data and levels of various laboratory indicators between two groups, including blood routine, fasting blood glucose, blood lipids, liver and kidney function, and plasma Gal-3. Analyze the influencing factors of atrial fibrillation and the predictive value of plasma Gal-3 levels for the onset of atrial fibrillation. The measurement data with normal distribution and the measurement data converted to normal distribution after taking natural logarithm are expressed in xˉ± s. The comparison between the two groups is performed by independent sample t test; The measurement data of non normal distribution is represented by [ M ( Q1, Q3)], and Wilcoxon signed rank sum test is used for inter group comparison; The counting data is represented by examples (%), and the comparison between groups is conducted using χ 2 test. The influencing factors of atrial fibrillation were analyzed using logistic regression analysis. Results:The age, NLR, and blood creatinine levels in the atrial fibrillation group were higher than those in the control group [(71.16±9.17) years vs (60.71±10.11) years, (2.32±0.85) vs (1.74±0.81), (74.18±21.61) μmol/L vs (64.69±18.30) μmol/L, t-values are 5.68, 3.66, 2.48, P-values are <0.001, <0.001, 0.015], total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C Albumin and eGFR water were on average lower than those in the control group [(4.31±1.67) mmol/L vs (5.13±0.78) mmol/L, (0.96±0.21) mmol/L vs (1.21±0.32) mmol/L, (2.35±0.65) mmol/L vs (3.04±0.62) mmol/L, (39.58±3.83) g/L vs (44.66±5.61) g/L, (94.84±29.22) mL/(min·1.73 m 2) vs (111.77±21.51) mL/(min·1.73 m 2)] ,The t-values are 3.30, 4.87, 5.69, 5.54, 3.46, and the P-values are 0.001,<0.001,<0.001,<0.001, 0.001, respectively. The plasma Gal-3 levels in the atrial fibrillation group were higher than those in the control group [(12.79±4.24)] μg/L vs (7.31±2.28) μg/L], the difference was statistically significant ( t=8.43, P<0.001), and the plasma Gal-3 level in the persistent atrial fibrillation group was higher than that in the paroxysmal atrial fibrillation group [(14.03±3.95) μg/L vs (11.51±4.21) μg/L], the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.29, P=0.026). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after excluding other factors, Gal-3 remained an independent influencing factor for atrial fibrillation (odds ratio=1.66, 95% confidence interval: 1.29-2.12, P<0.001). Conclusions:Plasma Gal-3 is an influencing factor for the onset of atrial fibrillation. After excluding other factors, Gal-3 remains an independent influencing factor for atrial fibrillation, with an increase of 1 μg/L in Gal-3 increases the risk of atrial fibrillation by 1.66 times.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults and is poorly controlled. Previous studies have shown that both macrophages and angiogenesis play significant roles in GBM progression, and co-targeting of CSF1R and VEGFR is likely to be an effective strategy for GBM treatment. Therefore, this study developed a novel and selective inhibitor of CSF1R and VEGFR, SYHA1813, possessing potent antitumor activity against GBM. SYHA1813 inhibited VEGFR and CSF1R kinase activities with high potency and selectivity and thus blocked the cell viability of HUVECs and macrophages and exhibited anti-angiogenetic effects both in vitro and in vivo. SYHA1813 also displayed potent in vivo antitumor activity against GBM in immune-competent and immune-deficient mouse models, including temozolomide (TMZ) insensitive tumors. Notably, SYHA1813 could penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and prolong the survival time of mice bearing intracranial GBM xenografts. Moreover, SYHA1813 treatment resulted in a synergistic antitumor efficacy in combination with the PD-1 antibody. As a clinical proof of concept, SYHA1813 achieved confirmed responses in patients with recurrent GBM in an ongoing first-in-human phase I trial. The data of this study support the rationale for an ongoing phase I clinical study (ChiCTR2100045380).
