Objective To elucidate the mechanisms of trauma-induced coagulopathy(TIC),clarify the specific pathogenic factors and pathophysiological processes,and discover the effective diagnostic indicators and therapeutic targets.Methods Transcriptomic data of traumatic hemorrhagic shock patients were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)to identify differentially expressed genes(DEGs).Coagulation-related genes(CRGs)from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)were intersected with DEGs.Machine learning algorithms,including least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)and random forest(RF),were applied to identify key genes.The CIBERSORT algorithm was used to analyze the correlation between key genes and immune cell infiltration.Through consensus clustering,subtype analysis was conducted on trauma patients to compare the infiltration of immune cells.A rat model of traumatic hemorrhagic shock was established to validate coagulation function and the expression of key genes.Results The dataset included samples from 17 healthy controls and 478 patients with traumatic hemorrhagic shock.A total of 6 315 DEGs were identified under the screening criterion of corrected P<0.05.Gene set enrichment analysis(GSEA)showed that the up-regulated DEGs were significantly enriched in the glucose metabolism pathway,while the down-regulated DEGs were enriched in the immune reaction-related pathways.Through cross-analysis of DEGs and CRGs,a total of 65 differentially expressed coagulation-related genes(DE-CRGs)were screened out.GO functional enrichment showed that these genes were mainly located in secreting granular membranes and platelet α-granules,and were involved in physiological processes such as blood coagulation,regulation of body fluid levels,and wound healing.KEGG pathway analysis revealed that these genes were significantly enriched in pathways such as platelet activation,complement and coagulation cascade reactions,Rap1 signaling pathway,and human cytomegalovirus infection.Six key DE-CRGs were identified through machine learning.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis indicated that these genes had good diagnostic efficacy.CIBERSORT analysis revealed a significant correlation between key genes and immune cell infiltration.Patients were classified into two subtypes based on the six key genes:subtype A was rich in CD8+T cells and activated NK cells,presented an immune-active state;subtype B was mainly composed of monocytes and resting NK cells,with insufficient activation of immune pathways.Animal experiments on rats showed that hemorrhagic shock can lead to coagulation dysfunction.The results of qRT-PCR further confirmed that the expression trend of key genes was consistent with the results of bioinformatics analysis.Conclusion In this study,through transcriptomics and machine learning methods,six key genes closely related to TIC were systematically screened out,namely GNA13,PIK3R3,ITGAM,MAPK14,PPP1CC and LYN,and their close connections with coagulation function and immune infiltration were revealed.Animal experiments have further verified the value of these genes as potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

Aim To explore the therapeutic effects of resveratrol(Res)on hepatic inflammation and oxida-tive stress in rheumatoid arthritis(RA),and to eluci-date the relationship of the regulatory mechanism of the Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway in it.Methods A mouse model of arthritis was induced using chicken type Ⅱ collagen in combination with complete Freund's adjuvant,and Res was administered by tube feeding for treatment.Serum liver function indices and levels of hepatic inflammation and oxidative stress were detected in mice.An in vitro cellular model of hepatic inflam-mation and oxidative stress was established by treating mouse primary hepatocytes(MPHs)with TNF-α(5μg·L-1),cell proliferation inhibition was detected by CCK-8,and inflammation and oxidative stress-relat-ed indices were detected by protein blotting.The in-trinsic mechanisms by which Res attenuated hepatic in-flammation and oxidative stress in rheumatoid arthritis were explored by treating MPHs with Nrf2 inhibitor and Keap1 overexpression plasmid.Results Res signifi-cantly reduced the levels of inflammation and oxidative stress in hepatic tissues of collagen-induced arthritis mice as well as TNF-α-treated MPHs,and activated the Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway.Inflammation and oxidative stress levels in MPHs were exacerbated by the use of Nrf2 inhibitors and Keap1 overexpression,which promoted apoptosis.Conclusion Res attenuates he-patic inflammation and oxidative stress in rheumatoid arthritis via the Nrf2/Keap1 pathway.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacterial strains isolated from pediatric intensive care units(PICU)in China for better antimicrobial therapy.Methods Clinical isolates were collected from 17 institutions,including tertiary care children's hospitals and pediatric department of tertiary general hospitals in China from January 1,2020 to December 31,2022.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out according to a unified protocol using Kirby-Bauer method or automated systems.Results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2020.Results A total of 10 688 isolates were collected,including gram-positive organisms(39.2％)and gram-negative organisms(60.8％).The top three organisms were S.aureus(13.6％,1 453/10 688),A.baumannii(10.0％,1 067/10 688),and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(9.9％,1 058/10 688).Multi-drug resistant organisms(MDROs)were very common in children.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA),carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE),carbapenem-resistant E.coli,carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae(CRKP),carbapenem-resistant A.baumannii(CRAB),and carbapenem-resistant P.aeruginosa(CRPA)was 41.1％,19.4％,8.8％,30.9％,67.4％,and 28.8％,respectively.Overall,more than 50％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to cephalosporins,while nearly 25％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to carbapenems.MDROs were highly resistant to commonly used antibiotics.More than 80％of CRE and CRAB strains were resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics.CRE and CRAB showed low resistance rates to tigecycline and polymyxin.CRPA showed lower resistance rates to piperacillin,beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations than the resistance rates to third and fourth generation cephalosporins.All of the Staphylococcus and Enterococcus isolates were susceptible to vancomycin and tigecycline.None of PRSP strains isolated from meningitis and nonmeningitis samples were resistant to rifampicin,vancomycin,or linezolid.The prevalence of β-lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant(BLNAR)strains was 43.3％in Haemophilus influenzae.Conclusions MDROs were prevalent in PICU.It is necessary to establish an effective multidisciplinary team(MDT)to control the antimicrobial resistance.

Aim To study the protective effect of a combination of IDO-1 inhibitor(3-047)with Icartin(Y003)at a mass ratio of 1∶1.6 on diabetic nephrop-athy in db/db mice and its mechanism of action.Methods After 24 weeks of treatment in db/db mice,on the basis of pharmacodynamic evaluation,16S rD-NA gene sequencing combined with untargeted metabo-lomics was used to further investigate the mechanism of improvement of diabetic nephropathy from the perspec-tive of the"microbial-intestinal-nephrotic"axis by the combination of 3-047 and Y003.Results Compared with the control group,mice in the model group showed significantly higher levels of FBG,Scr,BUN,TC,TG,LDL-C,lower levels of HDL-C(P＜0.05),significantly increased urinary albumin excretion rate,thickening of the glomerular basement membrane and dilatation of the tunica albuginea,aggravation of oxida-tive stress damage,lower abundance,structural and functional disorders of the intestinal flora.The combi-nation of 3-047 and Y003 could improve the above conditions to different degrees,significantly increase the relative abundance of Alloprevotella,Alistipes and Dubosiella,and decrease the relative abundance of Ligilactobacillus,Dubosiella and Lactococcus.A total of 11 biomarkers with significant differences were screened by metabolomics and enriched to the pathways of alanine,tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis,and unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis.Conclusions The combination of 3-047 and Y003 could improve the dis-orders of glucose-lipid metabolism,reduce the structur-al and functional damage of renal tissues,and alleviate oxidative stress by regulating the intestinal flora and re-lated amino acid metabolism,and thus achieve a pro-tective effect on mice with diabetic nephropathy,dem-onstrating that the intestinal flora and the related me-tabolites are potential targets for the treatment of dia-betic nephropathy.

Objective To study the expression of regulator of cullins-1(ROC1)and ubiquitin binding enzyme 9(UBC9)in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer(NMIBC)and their relationship with clinicopathological features and prognostic value of transurethral resection of bladder tumor(TURBT).Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted on 104 patients with NMIBC who underwent TURBT at Northwest University First Hospital from April 2018 to February 2021.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of ROC1 and UBC9 in tissues.Follow-up was conducted for 3 years,and Kaplan-Meier curve analysis and COX regression analysis were used to identify factors affecting the prognosis of NMIBC patients.Results The positive rates of ROC1(67.31%)and UBC9(69.23%)in NMIBC cancer tissues were higher than those in adjacent tissues(9.62%,7.69%),and the differences were statistically significant(χ2=73.125,83.200,all P<0.001).There was a positive correlation between the expression of ROC1 and UBC9 in NMIBC cancer(r=0.719,P<0.001).The positivity rates of ROC1(87.23%,90.00%)and UBC9(89.36%,88.33%)in cancer tissues with a maximum tumor diameter of≥2cm,T1 stage were higher than those in cancer tissues with a maximum tumor diameter of<2cm(50.88%,52.63%),Ta/Tis stage(36.36%,43.18%),and the difference were statistically significant(χ2=15.474～33.188,all P<0.05).After TURBT surgery,there were 29 cases of local recurrence,10 cases of metastasis,and 2 deaths of bladder cancer,the 3-year progression-free survival(PFS)rate was 60.58%(63/104).The 3-year PFS of NMIBC patients in the ROC1 positive and negative groups was 47.14%(33/70)and 88.24%(30/34),and the 3-year PFS of patients in the UBC9 positive and negative groups was 47.22%(34/72)and 90.63%(29/32),the differences were statistically significant(Log-rank χ2=15.341,15.931,all P<0.001).Multivariate COX regression analysis showed that ROC1 positivity,UBC9 positivity,maximum tumor diameter≥2cm and T1 phase were risk factors affecting the prognosis of NMIBC patients(all P<0.001).Conclusion The expression of ROC1 and UBC9 is elevated in NMIBC,which is related to the maximum diameter and stage of the tumor.Combined detection of ROC1 and UBC9 can help evaluate the prognosis of NMIBC patients.

(rsFC)and their relationship with negative symptoms in schizophrenia patients with predominant negative symptoms(PNS).Methods Fifty-four schizophrenia patients with PNS and sixty-one healthy controls underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI)scans.Data were collected on general demographic information,the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS),the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms(SANS),and the Temporal Experience of Pleasure Scale(TEPS).Twelve striatal subregions were selected as regions of interest(ROIs)to analyze the rsFC between each ROI and whole-brain voxels.The rsFC values of areas with significant differences were extracted for Pearson correlation analysis with negative symptoms.Results Compared with healthy controls,schizophrenia patients with PNS exhibited decreased rsFC between the right dorsal caudal putamen(DCP)and right insula,left middle frontal gyrus(MFG),right median cingulate and paracingulate gyri(MCC);between the left DCP and right putamen,left insula,left MFG;between the right dorsal rostral putamen(DRP)and bilateral MFG,left insula,right MCC;between the left DRP and right insula,left rolandic operculum;between the right ventral rostral putamen(VRP)and bilateral putamen,left MFG,right MCC;between the left VRP and right insula,left putamen,bilateral MFG,right MCC,left inferior parietal gyrus,excluding supramarginal and angular gyri.Decreased rsFC was also observed between the left ventral caudate/nucleus accumbens(inferior)and right insula,left anterior cingulate cortex,supracallosal,bilateral precuneus(a threshold of P<0.001 in voxel-level with P<0.05 in cluster-lever,corrected for family-wise error,PFWE<0.05/12=0.004).No regions showed increased rsFC in schizophrenia patients with PNS relative to healthy controls.And no significant correlations were found between striatal rsFC and negative symptoms(PBonferroni>0.05).Conclusion Schizophrenia patients with PNS exhibited widespread cortical-striatal functional connectivity abnormalities,particularly reduced rsFC between the putamen and the MFG,MCC and insula.
