Objective To investigate the relationship between Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection and disease severity and pathological type of intestinal polyps in inpatients. Methods The data of 303 inpatients with intestinal polyps in the hospital from August 2022 to February 2025 were collected and analyzed. The clinical characteristics of patients were analyzed, and the influencing factors of pathological types of polyps were explored. Results Among the 303 inpatients with intestinal polyps, there were 135 Hp positive cases and 168 Hp negative cases. The number of polyps, maximum polyp diameter, number of ileocecus/ascending colon/transverse colon polyps, number of descending colon/sigmoid colon/rectal polyps and adenomatous polyps in the Hp-positive group were higher than those in the Hp-negative group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age [OR (95%CI)=1.03 (1.01-1.05)] and positive Hp[OR (95%CI)=2.61 (1.62-4.20)] were independent risk factors of occurrence of adenomatous polyps (P<0.05). ROC curve results revealed that the AUCs of age, positive HP and combination in the diagnosis of adenomatous polyps were 0.574, 0.608 and 0.646, and the 95%CI values were 0.509-0.638, 0.545-0.672 and 0.584-0.708 respectively. The efficiency of combination of the two indexes was higher than that of single diagnosis. Conclusion Hp infection is associated with disease severity in inpatients with intestinal polyps, and it may be involved in the occurrence and development of adenomatous polyps.

Objective: To explore the association between light at night (LAN) of different intensities and ocular biometric parameters among preschool children, so as to provide a reference for optimizing strategies for myopia prevention and control. Methods: From November 2024 to January 2025, a cross sectional study was conducted among 369 preschool children from one kindergarten in Quanzhou City, Fujian Province. Questionnaire survey and eye examination were performed, and portable light sensors were used to collect LAN exposure data. Spearman correlation analysis was used to examine the associations between the duration of LAN exposure at different intensities and ocular biometric parameters. Generalized linear model was employed to explore the relationships between LAN duration at various intensities and ocular biometric parameters, while restricted cubic spline was used to investigate potential nonlinear associations. Results: The spherical equivalent (SE), axial length (AL), and axial length/corneal radius of curvature (AL/CR) for preschool children were 0.38 (-0.13,0.63) diopters, 22.35 (21.86,22.88) mm, and 2.86 (2.82,2.90), respectively. The median daily duration (interquartile ranges) of LAN exposure at intensities of 0, >0-100, >100-300, and >300 lx were 6.09(5.31,6.74), 1.74(1.13,2.42), 0.06(0.00,0.26), 0.00(0.00,0.00)h/d, respectively. The generalized linear model showed that for every additional hour of LAN at >100-300 lx, the AL/CR increased by 0.26 (95% CI =0.01-0.52); for every additional hour of LAN at >300 lx, AL/CR increased by 0.32 (95% CI =0.05-0.59) (both P < 0.05). No statistically significant associations were observed between SE or AL and LAN exposure at any of the intensity levels (0, >0-100, >100-300, and >300 lx) (all P >0.05). The restricted cubic spline model revealed that, except for the nonlinear relationship between LAN duration and AL at >100-300 lx ( P =0.02), all other light intensity levels showed linear correlations between LAN duration and preschool children s SE, AL, and AL/CR (both P >0.05). Time of day subgroup analysis revealed that during school days, for every additional hour of LAN at >100-300 lx and over 300 lx，AL/CR increased by 0.18 (95% CI =0.01-0.35) and 0.22 (95% CI =0.03-0.41), respectively (both P <0.05). However, weekend exposure showed no statistically significant association (all P >0.05). Conclusion Higher intensity of LAN is associated with increased AL/CR, and reducing exposure to LAN may have a potential protective effect on the visual health of preschool children.

OBJECTIVE To explore the hotspots of aging adaptation of drug package inserts， and to provide evidence for the development of aging adaptation of drug package inserts in China. METHODS The relevant English literature on drug package inserts for the elderly published from 2012 to 2022 was retrieved from Web of Science Core Collection； bibliometric analysis was performed by using VOSviewer and CiteSpace software， to explore research hotspots in this field， and summarize obstacles and solutions for the development of this field. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS This study collected a total of 335 literature related to the aging adaption of drug package inserts， from 819 research institutions in 51 countries （regions）， involving 2 174 authors. The research development of drug package insert adaptation for the elderly has slowed down in the past decade， and developed countries such as the United States and Japan dominate this field. Authors such as Wolf from Northwestern University in the United States， have the largest number of publications（12 literature）. The research focuses in this field include the risk management of medication for the elderly， the updating of medication information for the elderly in drug package inserts， and the understanding and compliance of the elderly with drug package inserts and their influencing factors. The solutions to related obstacles in the development of aging adaption in drug package inserts include improving the visibility and readability of drug package inserts， filling in the information on elderly medication in drug package inserts， and so on. China can learn from the experiences and methods of other countries， conduct investigations into the influencing factors of elderly package inserts and pharmacokinetic studies based on the characteristics of the Chinese population， and improve the safety of medication for elderly patients in multiple dimensions.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and perinatal outcomes of preeclampsia (PE) with severe fetal growth restriction (FGR) as the initial symptom.Methods:This retrospective cohort study included cases of singleton live births with PE and severe FGR delivered at Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital from January 2012 to December 2022. The cases were divided into two groups based on the sequence of severe FGR and hypertension onset: the severe FGR-first group and the hypertension-first group. General data, clinical characteristics, pregnancy complications, and neonatal outcomes were analyzed between the two groups. Statistical analyses were performed using t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and Chi-square tests. Multivariate linear regression or logistic regression analyses were used to adjust for the effects of confounding factors on perinatal outcomes. Results:(1) A total of 307 cases were included in the study, with 194 cases (63.2%) in the severe FGR-first group and 113 cases (36.8%) in the hypertension-first group. Compared to the hypertension-first group, the severe FGR-first group had a higher proportion of severe FGR before 32 weeks, later gestational age at PE diagnosis, lower proportion of early-onset PE, greater gestational age at pregnancy termination, and shorter interval from PE diagnosis to pregnancy termination [40.7% (46/113) vs. 59.3% (115/194), χ2=9.87; (32.8±5.1) weeks vs. (35.6±3.4) weeks, t=5.12; 52.2% (59/113) vs. 25.8% (50/194), χ2=21.80; (34.7±3.1) weeks vs. (36.0±3.2) weeks, t=3.43; all P<0.01]. There was no statistically significant difference in the interval between the diagnosis of severe FGR and hypertension between the two groups. (2) Compared to the hypertension-first group, the severe FGR-first group had a lower preterm birth rate and a higher incidence of premature rupture of membranes [69.0% (78/113) vs. 46.9% (91/194), χ2=14.12; 9.7% (11/113) vs. 19.1% (37/194), χ2=4.72; both P<0.05]. After adjusting for differences in gestational age at termination of pregnancy using multivariate logistic regression analysis, the results showed no statistically significant differences in the incidence of pregnancy complications between the two groups. (3) Compared with the hypertension-first group, the severe FGR-first group had higher neonatal birth weight [(1 757±605) g vs. (2 067±684) g, t=4.12], longer birth length [(41.7±4.3) cm vs. (43.4±4.6) cm, t=3.10], and heavier placentas [(399±158) g v s. (486±147) g, t=2.36]. The rates of cesarean section, severe small for gestational age, and low birth weight were lower [85.8% (97/113) vs. 68.6% (133/194), χ2=11.35; 65.5% (74/113) vs. 49.5% (96/194), χ2=7.40; 87.6% (99/113) vs. 69.6% (135/194), χ2=12.80; all P<0.05]. There were no statistically significant differences in the 1-minute Apgar scores and NICU admission rates between the two groups. After adjusting for differences in gestational age at termination of pregnancy using multivariate regression analysis, it was found that compared with the hypertension-first group, the severe FGR-first group had heavier neonates and a lower risk of cesarean section [ OR (95% CI) were 80.18 (0.95-159.42) and 0.51 (0.26-0.99), both P<0.05]. Conclusions:Pregnant women with severe FGR preceding PE have a later onset of PE and relatively better perinatal outcomes compared to those with hypertension preceding PE. It is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of blood pressure fluctuations in pregnant women with severe FGR preceding PE and fetal growth in pregnant women with hypertension preceding PE.

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 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.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical bacterial isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2021.Methods:The clinical bacterial strains isolated from blood culture from member hospitals of Blood Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System (BRICS) were collected during January 2021 to December 2021. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). WHONET 5.6 was used to analyze data.Results:During the study period, 11 013 bacterial strains were collected from 51 hospitals, of which 2 782 (25.3%) were Gram-positive bacteria and 8 231 (74.7%) were Gram-negative bacteria. The top 10 bacterial species were Escherichia coli (37.6%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.9%), Staphylococcus aureus (9.8%), coagulase-negative Staphylococci (6.3%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.6%), Enterococcus faecium (3.6%), Acinetobacter baumannii (2.8%), Enterococcus faecalis (2.7%), Enterobacter cloacae (2.5%) and Klebsiella spp (2.1%). The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus aureus were 25.3% and 76.8%, respectively. No glycopeptide- and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci was detected; more than 95.0% of Staphylococcus aureus were sensitive to ceftobiprole. No vancomycin-resistant Enterococci strains were detected. The rates of extended spectrum B-lactamase (ESBL)-producing isolated in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis were 49.6%, 25.5% and 39.0%, respectively. The prevalence rates of carbapenem-resistance in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 2.2% and 15.8%, respectively; 7.9% of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae was resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam combination. Ceftobiprole demonstrated excellent activity against non-ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Aztreonam/avibactam was highly active against carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The prevalence rate of carbapenem-resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii was 60.0%, while polymyxin and tigecycline showed good activity against Acinetobacter baumannii (5.5% and 4.5%). The prevalence of carbapenem-resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 18.9%. Conclusions:The BRICS surveillance results in 2021 shows that the main pathogens of blood stream infection in China are gram-negative bacteria, in which Escherichia coli is the most common. The MRSA incidence shows a further decreasing trend in China and the overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci is low. The prevalence of Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is still on a high level, but the trend is downwards.
