Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of HEMO-FISS-QoL(HF-QoL) questionnaire (HF-QoL-C) in the Chinese population with hemorrhoids.Methods:From November 2021 to November 2022, a self-constructed general information questionnaire, HF-QoL-C, and the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36), Goligher classification, and Giordano severity of hemorrhoid symptom questionnaire (GSQ) were used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 760 hemorrhoid patients in the anorectal department of six hospitals. The data was analyzed for reliability and validity using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 26.0 software.Results:The Cronbach's α coefficient of HF-QoL-C and its dimension ranged from 0.831 to 0.960, and the split coefficient was 0.832-0.915. Four common factors were extracted through principal component exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable structural validity( χ2/ df=8.152, RSMEA=0.097, CFI=0.881, IFI=0.881, NFI=0.867). HF-QoL-C was correlated with SF36 and GSQ( r=-0.694, 0.501, both P<0.01). There were differences in the total score and dimensional scores of HF-QoL-C between surgical and drug treated patients, different grades of Goligher classification for hemorrhoidal disease, and different ranges of hemorrhoid prolapse (all P<0.001). No ceiling effect was found in the total score and the scores of each dimension(0.3%-2.0%). There was a floor effect in both psychological function and sexual activity dimensions (16.7%, 35.1%). Conclusion:HF-QoL-C has good reliability and validity, which can be used to measure the quality of life of Chinese hemorrhoid patients.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-negative bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of national bloodstream infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period，9 035 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 51 hospitals，of which 7 895（87.4%）were Enterobacteriaceae and 1 140（12.6%）were non-fermenting bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli（ n=4 510，49.9%）， Klebsiella pneumoniae（ n=2 340，25.9%）， Pseudomonas aeruginosa（ n=534，5.9%）， Acinetobacter baumannii complex（ n=405，4.5%）and Enterobacter cloacae（ n=327，3.6%）. The ESBLs-producing rates in Escherichia coli， Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus spp. were 47.1%（2 095/4 452），21.0%（427/2 033）and 41.1%（58/141），respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli（CREC）and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae（CRKP）were 1.3%（58/4 510）and 13.1%（307/2 340）；62.1%（36/58）and 9.8%（30/307）of CREC and CRKP were resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam combination，respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii（CRAB）complex was 59.5%（241/405），while less than 5% of Acinetobacter baumannii complex was resistant to tigecycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa（CRPA）was 18.4%（98/534）. There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of main Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions，with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CRKP and CRPA（ χ2=20.489 and 20.252， P<0.001）. The prevalence of CREC，CRKP，CRPA，CRAB，ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were higher in provinicial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=11.953，81.183，10.404，5.915，12.415 and 6.459， P<0.01 or <0.05），while the prevalence of CRPA was higher in economically developed regions（per capita GDP ≥ 92 059 Yuan）than that in economically less-developed regions（per capita GDP <92 059 Yuan）（ χ2=6.240， P=0.012）. Conclusions:The proportion of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections shows an increasing trend，and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top，while the trend of CRKP decreases continuously with time. Decreasing trends are noted in ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Low prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Escherichia coli and high prevalence in CRAB complex have been observed. The composition ratio and antibacterial spectrum of bloodstream infections in different regions of China are slightly different，and the proportion of main drug resistant bacteria in provincial hospitals is higher than those in municipal hospitals.

As a key enzyme in the nitrogen cycle,urease is not only a nitrogen source for the growth of organisms,but also a virulence factor found in various pathogenic bacteria.The urease produced by Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)plays an im-portant role in the colonization and survival of H.pylori.However,H.pylori infections are closely associated with gastrointestinal diseases such as intestinal metaplasia,active gastritis,peptic ulcer and gastric cancer.With the increasing of drug-resistant strains,there is an urgent need for effective and safe new drugs,so H.pylori has become one of the most frequently studied ure-ase-producing bacteria.Urease has also received considerable attention as a potential target for antibacterial drugs.Medicinal plants with high safety have been proven to have therapeutic potential,and many natural plant extracts have become the inspira-tion and starting point of new drug development;previous studies have also found that many naturally occurring flavonoids have anti-urease activity.Therefore,this review summarizes the effects of inhibiting some plant-derived flavonoids on H.pylori urease.According to their origins,structural characteristics,and possible mechanism of action,we seek and develop plant-derived com-pounds with the specificity of anti-H.pylori,which can provide references for developing clinical drug candidates.

Using the purposive sampling method, the semi-structured interview was conducted on 15 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with radiotherapy and chemotherapy in Department of Tumor Center Area 2 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of University of South China. Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to analyze the original data.Results:According to the two stages of HAPA model, three themes were extracted, namely, positive cognition of self-nutrition management, difficulty in self-nutrition management and lack of self-nutrition management ability.Conclusions:Medical staff should analyze individual differences among patients, understand their subjective feelings, confusion and needs for self nutrition management, provide personalized nutrition education and support, improve their self nutrition management experience and enhance their self nutrition management abilities.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-positive bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-positive bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:A total of 3 163 strains of Gram-positive pathogens were collected from 51 member units，and the top five bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus（ n=1 147，36.3%），coagulase-negative Staphylococci（ n=928，29.3%）， Enterococcus faecalis（ n=369，11.7%）， Enterococcus faecium（ n=296，9.4%）and alpha-hemolyticus Streptococci（ n=192，6.1%）. The detection rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus（MRSA）and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci（MRCNS）were 26.4%（303/1 147）and 66.7%（619/928），respectively. No glycopeptide and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci were detected. The sensitivity rates of Staphylococcus aureus to cefpirome，rifampin，compound sulfamethoxazole，linezolid，minocycline and tigecycline were all >95.0%. Enterococcus faecium was more prevalent than Enterococcus faecalis. The resistance rates of Enterococcus faecium to vancomycin and teicoplanin were both 0.5%（2/369），and no vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium was detected. The detection rate of MRSA in southern China was significantly lower than that in other regions（ χ2=14.578， P=0.002），while the detection rate of MRCNS in northern China was significantly higher than that in other regions（ χ2=15.195， P=0.002）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in provincial hospitals were higher than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=13.519 and 12.136， P<0.001）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in economically more advanced regions（per capita GDP≥92 059 Yuan in 2022）were higher than those in economically less advanced regions（per capita GDP<92 059 Yuan）（ χ2=9.969 and 7.606， P=0.002和0.006）. Conclusions:Among the Gram-positive pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China， Staphylococci is the most common while the MRSA incidence decreases continuously with time；the detection rate of Enterococcus faecium exceeds that of Enterococcus faecalis. The overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci is still at a low level. The composition ratio of Gram-positive pathogens and resistant profiles varies slightly across regions of China，with the prevalence of MRSA and MRCNS being more pronounced in provincial hospitals and areas with a per capita GDP≥92 059 yuan.

Objective To construct a predictive model for the occurrence of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis(DVT)after internal fixation surgery for thoracolumbar fractures by using extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost).Methods Data of 220 patients who underwent internal fixation surgery for thoracolumbar fractures in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2019 to December 2022 was collected.The dataset was divided into a training set(154 cases)and a testing set(66 cases).The training set was processed by using the synthetic minority over-sampling technique and the predictive model was build based on XGBoost.The performance was compared on the testing set by using area under receiver operating characteristic curve,accuracy,F1 score,sensitivity and specificity.The interpretability analysis base on SHAP was conducted to quantify the degree of contribution of influencing factors.Results The XGBoost model outperformed logistic regression,support vector machine and random forest models on multiple metrics,with an area under the curve of 0.761 on the original testing set.The decision curve indicated that the XGBoost model has clinical application value.Conclusion The XGBoost model based on factors such as age,body mass index,and postoperative albumin,D-dimer,total protein,erythrocyte sedimentation rate,prothrombin time can effectively predict the occurrence of lower extremity DVT after internal fixation surgery for thoracolumbar fractures,which has good potential for clinical application.

It provides vital support in passing the tertiary-A hospital evaluation for hospitals. During the hospital grading evaluation process, each issue identified in medical equipment management was addressed and improved. This process continuously enhanced the hospital's medical equipment management level, ensured the safe and effective use of medical equipment, and improved the quality of medical services, laying a solid foundation for the hospital to become a high level specialized medical institution for occupational diseases.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the improvement effect mechanism of Xibining prescription （XBN） on knee osteoarthritis （KOA） model rats based on AMP-activated protein kinase（AMPK）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR） signaling pathway. METHODS Totally 36 rats were randomly divided into blank group， model group， XBN group （12.56 g/kg）， XBN+metformin （AMPK agonist） group （12.56 g/kg XBN+100 mg/kg metformin）， with 9 rats in each group. Except for blank group， KOA model was induced by anterior cruciate ligament transection in other groups. After modeling， each group was given relevant medicine/normal saline， XBN and normal saline intragastrically， once a day， and metformin intraperitoneally， every other day， for 4 consecutive weeks. The pathomorphological changes of cartilage tissue in rats were observed and Mankin scoring was conducted. The expression level of Aggrecan in rat cartilage， mRNA and protein expressions of platelet reactive protein disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4 （ADAMTS-4）， ADAMTS-5， matrix metalloproteinase 3 （MMP-3） and MMP- 13， and the phosphorylation level of AMPK and mTOR proteins were detected. RESULTS Compared with blank group， the structure of cartilage tissue in the model group was disordered， the matrix of cartilage layer was lightly stained，the tide line was distorted or interrupted， and Mankin score was significantly increased （P＜0.05）. The protein expression of Aggrecan in cartilage tissue and the phosphorylation level of AMPK protein were all decreased significantly （P＜0.05）； mRNA and protein expressions of ADAMTS-4， ADAMTS-5， MMP-3 and MMP-13 and the phosphorylation levels of mTOR protein were significantly increased in cartilage tissues （P＜0.05）. Compared with model group， the pathological morphology of cartilage was improved significantly in each administration group， and above score or indexes were reversed significantly （P＜0.05）. Compared with XBN group， the degree of cartilage lesions in rats was further alleviated in XBN+ metformin group， and the levels of above score or indicators were further improved （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS XBN can ameliorate cartilage injury in KOA model rats， promote cartilage synthesis and reduce cartilage degradation， the mechanism of which may be associated with activating AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway.
