Objective:To characterize the epidemiology, antimicrobial susceptibility, and molecular mechanisms of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) carrying multiple carbapenemase genes in China, and to provide evidence for infection control and antibiotic stewardship.Methods:From 2016 to 2023, 115 CRE isolates harboring at least two carbapenemase genes were collected from 41 hospitals in 18 provinces across China. Species identification, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and whole-genome sequencing were performed. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and capsular typing were conducted using Kleborate, plasmid replicon types were identified with PlasmidFinder, and a core genome phylogenetic tree was constructed.Results:The majority of isolates belonged to Klebsiella spp. (80.0%, 92/115), followed by E. cloacae (8.7%, 10/115) and E. coli (6.1%, 7/115). The isolates were mainly from Hebei, Beijing, Shandong, and Hunan (60.9%, 70/115), and sputum was the predominant specimen (43.5%, 50/115). The most common genotype was bla KPC+bla NDM (73.0%, 84/115), primarily in Klebsiella spp. (79.8%, 67/84), followed by bla NDM+bla IMP (15.7%, 18/115). The prevalent plasmid replicon types were IncFII (77.5%, 86/111), IncFIB (68.5%, 76/111), IncR (51.4%, 57/111), and IncX3 (20.7%, 23/111). Notably, 88.6% (31/35) of ST11-KL64 K. pneumoniae strains co-harbored IncFII, IncFIB, and IncR plasmids simultaneously. Between 2016 and 2022, the dominant subtype among Klebsiella spp. isolates was bla KPC-2+bla NDM-1 (56.2%, 36/64). In 2023, the bla KPC-2+bla NDM-13 subtype (29.5%, 19/64) emerged and exhibited clonal transmission (single nucleotide polymorphism 2?74 bp) in Hebei, Beijing, and Jilin. Susceptibility testing showed widespread resistance to β-lactams (90.2%-100%). Aztreonam-avibactam, tigecycline, and colistin retained high activity, with susceptibility rates of 90.16%-98.36%. Conclusions:In China, the majority of clinical Enterobacteriaceae strains that harbor multiple carbapenemases are Klebsiella spp. co-producing KPC and NDM enzymes. Dissemination is driven by both clonal expansion of ST11-KL64 and horizontal transfer of IncFII, IncFIB, and IncR plasmids. The recent emergence and regional clonal spread of the bla KPC-2+bla NDM-13 genotype underscore the urgent need for strengthened surveillance and containment measures.

Autism spectrum disorder(ASD),characterized by unknown etiology and high heterogeneity,ne-cessitates precise diagnostic and intervention strategies.Neuroimaging techniques have shown great promise in un-covering the neural mechanisms of ASD,providing a foundation for aided diagnosis and transcranial magnetic stim-ulation(TMS)interventions.This review highlights that integrating multimodal neuroimaging and developing indi-vidualized indices with developmental specificity can significantly improve the accuracy of ASD diagnosis and clas-sification.Furthermore,TMS interventions guided by functional connectivity derived from functional magnetic reso-nance imaging(fMRI)offer a personalized approach to ASD treatment.

Objective To explore the economic toxicity perceptions and experiences of caregivers of colorectal cancer patients from the perspective of social ecological systems theory.Methods Using purposive sampling,18 caregivers of colorectal cancer patients hospitalized in the gastrointestinal sur-gery and oncology departments of a tertiary grade A hospital in Yangzhou were selected for semi-struc-tured interviews.The Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was employed to organize and analyze the data.Results Three main themes and nine sub-themes were extracted regarding the economic toxicity expe-riences and needs of caregivers of colorectal cancer patients.Microsystem included multiple negative experiences,impacted individual health,and difficulties in surrogate decision-making;mesosystem in-cluded heavy family financial burden,altered family lifestyle,and tense family atmosphere;macrosys-tem included needs for the scope and intensity of medical insurance reimbursement,needs for medical resources and services,and a desire for social support.Conclusion The ecological system of caregiv-ers of colorectal cancer patients is not optimistic,and is generally affected by economic toxicity.Inter-vention strategies can be sought from multiple aspects,including alleviating the negative experiences of caregivers,strengthening social support,and paying attention to the needs of caregivers,aiming to re-duce the level of economic toxicity among caregivers of colorectal cancer patients.

8.Latent classes and associated factors of suicidal ideation among high school students
Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(1):66-71
Objective:
To understand current situation epidemiology and associated factors of suicidal ideation among high school students in Yixing, so as to provide basis for targeted intervention.
Methods:
From March to May 2019, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 12 799 students from 3 junior high schools and 4 senior high schools in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province, using a stratified cluster random sampling method. Latent profile analysis was used to classify suicidal ideation among high school students, the chi square test was used to compare the differences in suicidal ideation among different characteristics of students, multiple Logistic regression was used to analyze influencing factors, a risk predictive nomogram model was constructed and then verified.
Results:
Three latent classes of suicidal ideation among high school students was divided into three categories were observed: none or mild, moderate, and severe. Among them, 3 034 (23.7%) had moderate suicidal ideation and 753 (5.9%) had severe suicidal ideation. The Logistic regression results showed that gender was female, academic performance was lower midrange, smoking, drinking, popularity with classmates(less popular and unpopularity), family member relationships(general/occasional contradictions/contradictions), trust in others(more trusted/less trusted/less trusted at all), past or current relationships, physical bullying, relationship bullying, verbal bullying, and sexual bullying were the influencing factors for severe suicidal ideation among students ( OR =3.27; 2.18 ;1.63;1.72;2.66, 6.05;3.00,3.29, 6.38;1.71, 6.04, 12.48; 2.50; 1.59; 2.16; 1.45; 1.63, P <0.05). The nomogram prediction model had good discrimination.
Conclusions
Suicide ideation is influenced by multiple factors. Family and peer situations, as well as being bullied, are all related to the degree the severity of suicidal ideation. Efforts can be made to improve students family and interpersonal relationships, control bullying, then reduce their suicidal ideation which might help prevent suicide ideation among students.

This paper summarized Professor LI Yueqing's clinical experience in treating prostate cancer by stages from the perspective of deficiency and stasis. It is believed that the onset of prostate cancer is due to kidney deficiency, while blood stasis is the core pathogenesis, and dampness-heat, phlegm-turbid, and cancer toxins are the key pathological factors in the progression of the disease. The pathogenesis in the early stage of the disease is kidney qi depletion and dampness, heat and phlegm coagulation; in the middle stage, it is spleen and kidney depletion, phlegm coagulation and blood stasis; and in the late stage, the pathogenesis changes into yin deficiency and essence depletion, and stasis-turbid toxin obstruction. For treatment, the basic principle is to supplement and boost kidney qi, enrich and nourish the kidney yin. The main treatment methods are draining dampness, dissolving phlegm, dispelling stasis, clearing heat and resolving toxins, and the method of invigorating blood and dispelling stasis runs through the whole course of treatment. In the early stage, radical treatment is mainly used, and Longshe Yangquan Decoction (龙蛇羊泉汤) with modifications is supplemented to clear and drain dampness and heat. In the middle stage, androgen deprivation therapy is the basic treatment, and Bushen Tongqiao Decoction (补肾通窍汤) with modifications is used in combination to nourish the spleen and kidney, dissolve phlegm and dispel stasis. In the late stage, Dabuyin Pills and Liuwei Dihuang Pills (大补阴丸合六味地黄丸) with modifications is mainly used to enrich yin and supplement essence, resolve toxins and dissolve stasis, and prevent cancer recurrence.
