Objective:To investigate the association of serum γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) with stroke severity and outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:Patients with AIS admitted to the Department of Neurology, Hefei Second People's Hospital (Guangde Road Branch) from January 2023 to December 2023 were included retrospectively. According to the baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, the patients were divided into mild stroke group (≤8) and moderate to severe stroke group (>8); According to the modified Rankin Scale score at 3 months after onset, the patients were divided into a good outcome group (0-2) and a poor outcome group (>2). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent influencing factors of stroke severity and outcome, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum GGT for poor outcome. Results:A total of 136 patients with AIS were included, with 42 patients (30.88%) in the mild stroke group and 94 (69.12%) in the moderate to severe stroke group; 80 patients (58.82%) in the good outcome group and 56 (41.18%) in the poor outcome group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher serum GGT was an independent related factor for moderate to severe stroke (odds ratio [ OR] 1.075, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.017-1.135; P<0.05) and poor outcome ( OR 1.131, 95% CI 1.069-1.197; P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve for predicting poor outcome by serum GGT was 0.820 (95% CI 0.747-0.892). Conclusion:Serum GGT is significantly correlated with the severity of stroke in patients with AIS, and has certain predictive value for poor short-term outcome.

Objective:Surgical site infection (SSI) is a common health care-related infection after gastrointestinal surgery. Once SSI occurs after surgery, it can significantly prolong the postoperative hospital stay, increase the cost burden of patients and society, and even endanger the life safety of patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical phenotypes of gastrointestinal surgery, identify the clinical characteristics of SSI, and provide reference for the prevention of SSI after gastrointestinal surgery.Methods:This is a multicenter prospective cohort study that collected clinical data from all adult patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery from March 2021 to February 2022 at 42 hospitals in China, including baseline and perioperative characteristics. Based on the variables associated with SSI, latent class analysis (LCA) was used to explore the population characteristics of SSI.Results:In total, 16 087 patients were included in the study, of whom 345 (2.1%) developed SSI. LCA analysis revealed that patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery were classified into four clinical phenotypes, including α (3851), β (1538), γ (6387), and δ (4311). Type α had minimal abnormality on related system functions (ASA score > 2: 4.5% [173/3851]), and mainly underwent appendix surgery (98.9% [3808/3851]). The postoperative SSI incidence of type α was 0.4% (16/3,851), which belonged to the group of SSI low risk. The abnormality of system functions of type β (ASA score > 2: 17.4% [268/1538]) was worse than that of type α. Type β mainly underwent stomach surgery (72.4% [1113/1538]), and its incidence of postoperative SSI was 1.2% (18/1538), belonging to the group of SSI medium risk. The ASA score of type γ (ASA score > 2: 18.0% [1148/6387]) was comparable to that of type β. Type γ mainly received colorectal surgery (colon surgery: 40.1% [2562/6387]; rectal surgery: 33.6%[2143/6387]), and its incidence of postoperative SSI was 1.7% (106/6387), belonging to the group of SSI medium risk. Type δ (ASA score > 2: 23.5%[1015/4311]) was the most serious type with the highest proportion of open surgery. Type δ mainly underwent small intestine (54.0%[2327/4311]) and stomach surgery (32.3% [1392/4311]) and had the highest incidence of SSI (4.8% [205/4311]) and the highest mortality rate (0.6% [24/4311]), belonging to the group of SSI high risk. Compared with type α and β, the median length of hospital stay (α, β, γ, and δ: 5.0 days, 9.6 days, 13.0 days, and 16.0 days, P<0.001) and postoperative hospital stay (α, β, γ, and δ: 4.0days, 6.0days, 8.3 days, and 10.0 days, P<0.001) of type γ and δ were significantly increased, and the median medical costs (α, β, γ, and δ: 14 178.7 yuan, 39 514.2 yuan, 62 893.0 yuan and 57 266.6 yuan, P<0.001) were also significantly increased. Conclusion:LCA analysis elucidated four clinical phenotypes of patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. Type α had a low risk of SSI. Type β and γ had a medium risk of SSI, and type δ had a high risk of SSI.

Ferroptosis is a kind of programmed cell death, involves multi-molecular and multi-signaling pathways, and the core processes is iron overload and lipid peroxidation. It affects cancer, neurological disease, cardiovascular disease, digestive system disease, and many other diseases. While, ischemia-reperfusion injury is an extremely complex pathological process, including ischemia-reperfusion injury of the heart, brain, liver and kidney, etc., which often occurs in shock, organ surgery and organ transplantation, seriously affecting human health, and there is no effective radical treatment. However, ferroptosis is closely related to ischemia-reperfusion injury so that it is possible to find the prevention and treatment measures of ischemia-reperfusion injury by exploring the internal relationship between them. Therefore, the author tries to summarize the signaling pathways of ferroptosis, and explores the relationship between ferroptosis and ischemia-reperfusion injury of heart, brain, liver and kidney by moderating the ferroptosis targets properly to find the effective ways to treat cancer, improve inflammation and relieve other diseases.

Objective:To analyze 80 strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae by using whole-genome sequencing technology, including serotype characteristics, drug resistance genes, carriage of virulence genes, multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and relatedness between strains. Methods:Whole-genome sequencing was performed on Streptococcus pneumoniae. Serotypes, resistance genes, virulence genes, and sequence typing (ST) were analyzed in conjunction with the CARD database, the NCBI database, the VFDB database, and the PubMLST website. The strains were compared by using KSNP4 based on the analysis of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). An evolutionary tree was constructed with the IQ-TREE software and beautified by using EvolView software. Results:Of all 80 Streptococcus pneumoniae strains, serotypes 19F, 19A, 14 and 23F were predominant, 30 strains were from cases of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and 50 strains were from cases of non-invasive pneumococcal disease (NIPD). The virulence genes psaA, nanB, lytA, lytC, and ply were detected in all cases, while cps4 A, cps4 B, and hysA were detected in 98.75% of cases, and nanA was detected in 90.00%, rrgA and rrgB showed statistical differences between IPD and NIPD( P<0.05). The resistance genes patA, patB, tetM, pmrA, PBP1 b, RlmA( II), and ermB were detected in all cases, while PBP1 a was detected in 98.75% of cases. There was a statistically significant difference between IPD and NIPD for mefA and msrD( P<0.05). MLST analysis of 80 strains of bacteria showed that the ST types were mainly ST271, ST320, ST876, ST81, in which seven new ST types were emerged; the phylogenetic tree could be divided into three branches, The dominant ST types of the strains with serotypes 14, 23F, 19F, and 19A were ST876, ST81, ST271, and ST320, respectively. Conclusions:The study finds that the main serotypes of the 80 strains are 19F, 19A, 14 and 23F. The strains have more varieties of virulence genes, resistance genes and high carriage of some genes; rrgA, rrgB and mefA, msrD differ between IPD and NIPD. ST-types are characterised by diversity and new ST-types are constantly emerged. A correlation exists between serotypes and systemic evolution in the phylogenetic analyses, with each serotype contains its own dominant ST-types.

It is estimated that approximately seven million people worldwide are affected by inflammatory bowel disease(IBD),causing a huge burden on healthcare systems and society.In the occurrence,progression,and treatment of IBD,the intestinal microbiota and its key metabolic product,bile acids,play a crucial role.The intestinal microbiota not only participates in the biotransformation of bile acids,enriching the diversity of bile acids,but also regulates their synthesis and transport through the farnesoid X receptor(FXR).Meanwhile,bile acids contribute to regulating the structure and function of the intestinal microbiota by supporting microbial diversity,exerting direct toxicity,participating in indirect antimicrobial pathways,and influencing microbial metabolic capabilities.Furthermore,under normal physiological conditions,intestinal microbiota-derived bile acids facilitate the repair process of the intestinal epithelial barrier.They also promote the balance of the immune system by modulating the functions of various immune cells including helper T(Th)cells 17,regulatory T(Treg)cells,CD8+T cells and natural killer T(NKT)cells,thereby slowing down the development of IBD.This article focuses on exploring the role of intestinal microbiota and bile acids in the onset and progression of IBD,and investigating new effective treatment strategies by targeting intestinal microbiota and bile acids,such as bile acid receptor modulators,probiotics,prebiotics,fecal microbiota transplantation(FMT),and phage therapy.

  Objective  To analyze the current status of the development of adaptation guidelines in China, as well as their methodological quality and the reporting quality, in order to provide reference for the development of adaptation guidelines.  Methods  We searched and collected adaptation guidelines led by Chinese researchers or institutions from 2015 to 2023 from four electronic databases, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data Knowledge Service Platform, SinoMed and PubMed, extracted the basic information of the adapted guidelines, and assessed their methodological quality and reporting quality using the Appraisal of Guidelines for REsearch and Evaluation (AGREE) Ⅱ and RIGHT-Ad@pt tools.  Results  A total of 14 adaptation guidelines were included, mainly focusing on nursing (42.9%, 6/14), with the most frequently used adaptation method of ADAPTE (71.4%, 10/14), and with reference to pre-existing guidelines mainly from the United States, the United Kingdom, and international organizations. Assessment by the AGREE Ⅱ tool showed that the average methodological quality score of the adapted guidelines was 36.6%. The scores were relatively high in the domains of clarity of expression and rigor of formulation (44.4% and 54.9%), and lowest in the domain of applicability (15.3%). The results of the RIGHT-Ad@pt tool showed that the reporting quality of the adaptation guidelines was relatively good, with the highest reporting rate of 91.2% and the lowest of 35.3%, and the reporting rates of seven articles were higher than 70%.  Conclusions  Adaptation guidelines in China are still in their infancy, with a relatively small number and mainly focusing on the nursing field. The most commonly used adaptation method is the ADAPTE method. The methodological quality and reporting quality of adaptation guidelines need to be further improved, and more research should be conducted on the specific conditions and timing of adaptation guidelines development.
