Background::Although overnight fasting is recommended prior to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), the benefits and safety of high-carbohydrate fluid diet (CFD) intake 2 h before ERCP remain unclear. This study aimed to analyze whether high-CFD intake 2 h before ERCP can be safe and accelerate patients’ recovery.Methods::This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial involved 15 tertiary ERCP centers. A total of 1330 patients were randomized into CFD group ( n = 665) and fasting group ( n = 665). The CFD group received 400 mL of maltodextrin orally 2 h before ERCP, while the control group abstained from food/water overnight (>6 h) before ERCP. All ERCP procedures were performed using deep sedation with intravenous propofol. The investigators were blinded but not the patients. The primary outcomes included postoperative fatigue and abdominal pain score, and the secondary outcomes included complications and changes in metabolic indicators. The outcomes were analyzed according to a modified intention-to-treat principle. Results::The post-ERCP fatigue scores were significantly lower at 4 h (4.1 ± 2.6 vs. 4.8 ± 2.8, t = 4.23, P <0.001) and 20 h (2.4 ± 2.1 vs. 3.4 ± 2.4, t= 7.94, P <0.001) in the CFD group, with least-squares mean differences of 0.48 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26–0.71, P <0.001) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.57–0.95, P <0.001), respectively. The 4-h pain scores (2.1 ± 1.7 vs. 2.2 ± 1.7, t = 2.60, P = 0.009, with a least-squares mean difference of 0.21 [95% CI: 0.05–0.37]) and positive urine ketone levels (7.7% [39/509] vs. 15.4% [82/533], χ2 = 15.13, P <0.001) were lower in the CFD group. The CFD group had significantly less cholangitis (2.1% [13/634] vs. 4.0% [26/658], χ2 = 3.99, P = 0.046) but not pancreatitis (5.5% [35/634] vs. 6.5% [43/658], χ2 = 0.59, P = 0.444). Subgroup analysis revealed that CFD reduced the incidence of complications in patients with native papilla (odds ratio [OR]: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.39–0.95, P = 0.028) in the multivariable models. Conclusion::Ingesting 400 mL of CFD 2 h before ERCP is safe, with a reduction in post-ERCP fatigue, abdominal pain, and cholangitis during recovery.Trail Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, No. NCT03075280.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment of patients with CD4+CD8-T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia(T-LGLL).Methods:The clinical manifestations,diagnosis and treatment of 1 case of CD4+CD8-T-LGLL patient were reported,and relevant literatures were reviewed.Results:The patient was a 70-year-old woman with slow clinical progress,mainly manifested by thrombocytopenia and myelodysplasia.The blood smear was mainly composed of large granular lymphocytes.Immunotyping and T-cell receptor gene rearrangement analysis showed that it was in line with T-LGLL.Partial remission(PR)was achieved through the treatment of cyclophosphamide(50 mg/d)combined with prednisone(gradually reduced and stopped later).Conclusion:CD4+CD8-T-LGLL is very rare in clinical practice,and its clinical manifestations are different from those of CD4-CD8+T-LGLL.

Objective To observe the effect of neuregulin-1(NRG-1)on retinal ganglion cells(RGCs)in Zucker Di-abetic Fatty(ZDF)rats and explore the mechanism of NRG-1 in exerting neuroprotective effects on the retina.Methods Twenty-four 8-week-old male ZDF rats(24 eyes)were selected.Diabetic obese rat models were established by feeding a high-fat and high-sugar diet(Purina 5008).After 16 weeks,they were randomly divided into the ZDF group and the NRG-1 group(12 rats in each group).Rats in the NRG-1 group received intravitreal injection of human recombinant NRG-1(once a week for a total of two times),rats in the ZDF group were used as negative controls,and Zucker lean control(ZLC)rats were selected as blank controls(ZCL group).The changes in the number of RGCs in rats of each group were observed by immunofluorescence staining.The protein expressions of NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing protein 3(NLRP3),Caspase-1,and Gasdermin D(GSDMD)in the retina of rats in each group were observed by immuno-histochemistry and Western blot.Results After 16 weeks of eating a high-fat diet,compared with the ZLC group,the fasting blood glucose of rats in the ZDF group significantly increased(P＜0.001).The results of immunofluorescence stai-ning showed that the RGCs of rats in the ZLC group were continuously and neatly arranged;compared with the ZLC group,the number of RGCs of rats in the ZDF group significantly decreased(P＜0.001);compared with the ZDF group,the num-ber of RGCs of rats in the NRG-1 group significantly increased(P＜0.01).The immunohistochemical results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the average optical density values of NLRP3,Caspase-1 and GSDMD in the retina of rats in each group(all P＜0.01);compared with the ZLC group,the average optical density values of NLRP3,Caspase-1 and GSDMD in the retina of rats in the ZDF group were higher(all P＜0.01);compared with the ZDF group,the average optical density values of NLRP3,Caspase-1 and GSDMD in the retina of rats in the NRG-1 group significantly de-creased(all P＜0.05).Western blot results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the protein ex-pression levels of Brn3a,NLRP3,Caspase-1 and GSDMD in the retina of rats among all groups(all P＜0.01);compared with the ZLC group,the protein expression of Brn3a significantly decreased,while the protein expressions of NLRP3,Caspase-1 and GSDMD significantly increased in the ZDF group(all P＜0.01);compared with the ZDF group,the protein expression of Brn3a significantly increased,while the protein expressions of NLRP3,Caspase-1 and GSDMD significantly decreased in the NRG-1 group(all P＜0.01).Conclusion After retinal lesions occur in diabetic rats,NLRP3,Caspase-1 and GSDMD are all significantly activated.NRG-1 can reduce the expressions of NLRP3,Caspase-1 and GSDMD,reducing damage to RGCs.

Objective To compare the influence between self-monitoring of blood gluocose(SMBG)combined with digital diabetes management and traditional management mode on the related clinical indexes in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 100 patients with T2DM treated in the endocrinology and metabolism outpatient department of this hospital from January 2022 to June 2022 and meeting the inclusion criteria of this study were successively included.They were divided into the experimental group and control group.The experimental group was managed by SMBG combined with digital diabetes man-agement mode,while the control group adopted the traditional management mode,the outpatient clinic follow up once a month.After 6 months of follow-up,fasting blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)and urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratio(UACR)were compared between the two groups.Results The FBG,HbA1c,LDL-C,and UACR of the experimental group decreased after intervention when compared with baseline.Compared with the control group,the FBG[8.7(7.7,9.2)mmol/L vs.10.8(8.8,12.7)mmol/L,Z=-4.660,P＜0.001],HbA1c[6.3％(5.3,7.8)％vs.8.5％(7.2,10.0)％,Z=-5.130,P＜0.001],LDL-C[2.6(1.8,3.1)mmol/L vs.3.3(2.6,4.0)mmol/L,Z=-4.112,P＜0.001],UACR[16.1(3.5,46.5)mg/g vs.58.4(11.9,108.0)mg/g,Z=-2.220,P=0.026]for patients in the expriemental group after intervention were significantly decreased.Conclusion SMBG combined with digital diabetes management model can significantly improve the clinical indicators of patients.

Objective To explore the diagnosis of clinically suspicious von Willebrand disease(vWD)in a family and its pathogene-sis.Methods The pedigree information and the biological specimen were collected from the clinically suspected VWD patient and her family members(4 persons in total)in Peking University First Hospital.The levels of platelet count(PLT),activated partial thrombo-plastin time(APTT),vWF antigen(vWF:Ag),vWF activity(vWF:Ac)and FⅧ activity(FⅧ:C)were detected,and vWF risto-cetin cofactor(vWF:RCo)assay,ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation assay(RIPA)and vWF collagen binding(vWF:CB)assay were performed for phenotype diagnosis.The peripheral blood genomic DNAs were extracted from the proband and her family members to perform whole-exome sequencing for identifying the mutation of vWF gene,The mutation site was analyzed by using bioinformation tools to explore the pathogenesis of the proband.Results The APTT of proband(m 1)was slightly prolonged and her vWF:Ag,vWF:Ac,vWF:RCo and vWF:CB were significantly decreased.There was no obvious aggregation in RIPA assay(1.0 mg/mL and 1.25 mg/mL).In her father(Ⅱ3),APTT,FⅧ:C,vWF:Ag,vWF:Ac and vWF:CB were normal,but vWF:RCo was slightly decreased.In her mother(Ⅱ4),APTT,FⅧ:C,vWF:Ag,vWF:RCo and vWF:CB were all normal,but vWF:Ac significantly decreased.In her brother(Ⅲ2),APTT and FⅧ:C were normal,but vWF:Ag,vWF:Ac,vWF:RCo and vWF:CB were reduced to varying degrees.In all the family members(father,mother and brpther),no apparent aggregation in RIPA(1.0 mg/mL)was shown.Genetic analysis showed that the proband(Ⅲ1)carried a compound heterozygous mutation of vWF gene c.7288-9T＞G and c.1117C＞T,her father(Ⅱ3)carried vWF gene c.7288-9T＞G heterozygous mutation,and vWF gene c.1117C＞T heterozygous mutation was presented in both mother(Ⅱ4)and brother(Ⅲ2).Conclusion According to the results of laboratory tests,the proband was diagnosed as type 2A vWD.The hetero-zygous mutation in vWF gene c.1117C＞T and c.7288-9T＞G may be the molecular mechanism leading to type 2A vWD in the proband.

Depression is a prevalent mental illness worldwide, its multifaceted pathogenesis is still in the exploratory stage. MicroRNA (miRNA), as a crucial epigenetic regulator, plays an important role in depression. miR-124 is one of the most abundant miRNAs in the central nervous system including neurons and microglia, and involved in various biological events like neuron development and differentiation, synaptic and axonal growth, neural plasticity, inflammation and autophagy. Recent studies have reported abnormal expression of miR-124 in both depression patients and animal models. Most of the studies showed that miR-124 is upregulated in the hippocampus or prefrontal cortex in stress-induced rodent depression animal models such as CUMS, CSDS, CORT, CRS and LH but some evidence for divergence. Upregulation of miR-124 expression may be involved in depression-like behavior via CREB/BDNF/TrkB pathway, GR pathway, SIRT1 pathway, apoptosis and autophagy pathways by directly targeting these genes including Creb, Bdnf, Sirt1, Nr3c1, Ezh2 and Stat3. The downregulation of miR-124 expression in neurons is mainly involved in the neurogenesis and neuroplasticity impairments in depression by targeting the Notch signaling pathway and DDIT4/TSC1/2/mTORC1 pathway. The downregulation of miR-124 expression also was found in the activated microglia in the stress-induced models, and resulted in neuroinflammation. In summary, the abnormal expression of miR-124 in the brain of depression-related models and its related mechanisms are complex and even contradictory, and still need further research. This review provides a summary of the research progress of miR-124 in depression.
