OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status of informatization tools applied to antimicrobial stewardship in county hospitals in China， and to provide a reference for promoting the informatization development of antimicrobial stewardship in county hospitals.METHODS From August to September 2025， an online questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 007 county hospitals across 31 provinces（autonomous regions， and municipalities） in China. The survey focused on the application of four types of informatization tools：the real-time monitoring system for antimicrobial use， the pre-prescription review system， the irrational use warning system， and the electronic prescription evaluation system（hereinafter referred to as the “monitoring system”“review system”“warning system”“evaluation system”，respectively）. Correlation analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis were employed to explore the influencing factors.RESULTS Of the county hospitals， 80.83% were equipped with at least one type of informatization tool for antimicrobial stewardship， while 19.17% had no relevant tool. Only 18.87% of the hospitals were equipped with all four types of tools. The monitoring system exhibited the highest equipped rate （70.80%）， whereas the warning system was equipped in only 33.96% of the hospitals. Four types of tools are evenly and adequately deployed in the eastern region， the central and western regions have far lower deployment rates of intervention tools including review system and warning system， accompanied by prominent intra-provincial gaps. The total number of the health technicians， hospital grade， and prescription review rate of outpatient antibacterial drug were significantly and positively correlated with the deployment rates of the four informatization tools （ P ＜0.05）. The results of the Logistic regression model fitting indicated that the model of the review system was rated “excellent” [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve （AUC）＝0.81]， and the model of the warning system was rated “further improvement” （AUC＝0.67）. The total number of health technicians was significantly positively correlated with the deployment rates of all four types of informatization tools （all P ＜0.05）.CONCLUSIONS The informatization of antimicrobial stewardship in county hospitals in China remains in the initial stage of transitioning from “passive statistics” to “active prevention and control”， with challenges such as structural imbalance and regional disparities. In the future， differentiated support strategies should be implemented， the allocation of resources should be optimized， to enhance the level of refined antimicrobial stewardship.

The chemical constituents from the n-butanol fraction of ethanol extract of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) were isolated and purified using chromatographic process including MCI Gel CHP-20, ODS, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and semi-preparative HPLC method, and one alkyne and two phenylpropanoid derivants were obtained. Their structures were identified as (5R,E)-tetradecane-12-ene-8,10-diyne-1,5,14-triol (1), (E)-8-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl n-butyl cinnamate (2), and (7S,8S)-7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzene)-7-butyl-8,9-diol (3) by modern spectroscopy methods (1D NMR, 2D NMR, UV, IR and MS). 1-3 are all new compounds. Compounds 1-3 were screened for their anti-renal fibrosis activities in vitro, and none of them showed obvious effect.

Objective To understand the current situation of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in China,pro-vide data support and decision-making basis for formulating scientific and effective strategies for HAI prevention and control.Methods A nationwide cross-sectional survey on HAI was conducted among various types and levels of medical institutions in China according to a unified protocol of bedside surveys and case investigations.Results In 2024,a total of 5 736 medical institutions and 2 751 765 patients were surveyed.Among them,34 889 HAI cases were identified,with a prevalence rate of 1.27％.The number of HAI episodes was 38 032,and case prevalence rate was 1.38％.The prevalence rate of HAI in medical institutions in different regions of China ranged from 0.66％to 2.35％.Among medical institutions of different scales,those with a bed capacity of ≥900 had the high-est incidence of HAI,reaching 1.65％.The most common infection site was the lower respiratory tract(44.66％),followed by the urinary tract(12.94％),surgical site(9.32％),upper respiratory tract(7.02％),and bloodstream infection(5.78％).The top 3 departments with the highest HAI rates were the general intensive care unit(10.02％),department of neurosurgery(5.51％),and department(group)of hematology(5.34％).A total of 23 238 strains of HAI pathogens were detected,with 10 714 strains(46.10％)from lower respiratory tract speci-mens.The top 5 detected strains were Klebsiella pneumoniae(14.76％),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(13.33％),Escherichia coli(12.79％),Acinetobacter baumannii(9.23％),and Staphylococcus aureus(7.88％).231 944 pa-tients underwent class Ⅰ incision surgery were monitored,with 1 647 cases experienced surgical site infection,and the prevalence rate of surgical site infection was 0.71％.The number of patients who should undergo pathogen de-tection(patients receiving therapeutic and therapeutic combined prophylactic antimicrobial agents)was 715 179,while the actual number was 480 492,with a pathogen detection rate of 67.18％.425 225 patients received patho-genic detection before treatment,with a detection rate of 59.46％.Conclusion The overall HAI prevalence in Chi-na is lower,showing disparities among medical institutions of different regions and scales.Therefore,precise imple-mentation of measures is necessary for HAI prevention and control,with a focus on high-risk institutions and high-risk departments,key areas,and critical procedures.All levels of medical institutions should continuously reduce the incidence of HAI by strengthening monitoring,standardizing the use of antimicrobial agents,and reinforcing basic HAI prevention and control measures.

Objective:To explore the association between macrosomia delivery history and adverse pregnancy outcomes in subsequent pregnancies under different stratification of gestational weight gain(GWG).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 500 multiparous women with a history of macrosomia delivery who gave birth at The Second Hospital of Jilin University from January 2020 to November 2023.Meanwhile,1500 multiparous women without a history of delivering macrosomic infants were selected as the control group through 1∶3 matc-hing based on age(±1 year).The differences in general characteristics,GWG,and pregnancy outcomes be-tween the two groups were compared.According to the appropriate GWG values recommended by Chinese health industry standards,pregnant women in both groups were classified into insufficient GWG,appropriate GWG,and excessive GWG.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to compare the relationship be-tween a history of macrosomia delivery and adverse pregnancy outcomes under different GWG stratifications.Re-sults:The History of macrosomia group had significantly higher rates of excessive GWG(50.60%vs.48.13%),incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)(23.40%vs.17.07%),rate of cesarean section(60.20%vs.45.33%),and rate of macrosomia(26.60%vs.7.87%)compared to the control group(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that a history of macrosomia delivery was an independent risk factor for GDM,cesarean section,and macrosomia in subsequent pregnancies(aOR>1,P<0.05).Stratified analysis based on GWG revealed that,compared with the control group,regardless of the GWG status,the risk of cesare-an section and macrosomia was higher in women with a history of macrosomia delivery(aOR>1,P<0.05).Mo-reover,for those with a history of macrosomia delivery and excessive weight gain during pregnancy,the risk of preeclampsia(aOR 3.167,P<0.05)and GDM(aOR 1.661,P<0.05)was significantly increased.When the GWG was appropriate for pregnant women with a history of macrosomia delivery,there was no significant correla-tion between a history of macrosomia delivery and preeclampsia or GDM(P>0.05).Conclusions:A history of macrosomia delivery increased the risk of multiple adverse pregnancy outcomes,such as GDM,cesarean section,and macrosomia.For multiparous women at different GWG levels,the risk of cesarean section and macrosomia was significantly increased in those with a history of macrosomia delivery.When GWG was appropriate,a history of macrosomia delivery was not found to be an independent risk factor for preeclampsia and GDM.

Objective To explore the effect of curcumin(CUR)on oxidative damage of keratinocytes induced by ultraviolet B(UVB)irradiation through Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-κB)/nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 3(NLRP3)signaling pathway.Methods Human keratinocytes of HaCaT were cultured normally in vitro,and the keratinocyte oxidative damage model was established by the irradiation of 57 mJ/cm2 UVB.The cells with normal culture were as the control group,the cells treated after modeling were as the UVB group,the cells treated with 5 μmol/L CUR after modeling were as the CUR group,the cells treated with 100 μg/L TLR4 inhibitor of TAK-242 after modeling were as the TAK-242 group,and the cells treated with 5 μmol/L CUR and 100 nmol/L TLR4 activator of lipopolysaccharide(LPS)were as the CUR+LPS group.qRT-PCR was applied to detect the relative expression levels of TLR4,NF-κB,and NLRP3 mRNAs of cells in each group.CCK-8 was applied to detect the cell proliferation in each group.The relative content of reactive oxygen species(ROS),the viabilities of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and catalase(CAT),and the concentrations of glutathione(MDA)and glutathione(GSH)of cells in each group were detected by fluorescence assay according to the kit instruction.ELISA kit was used to detect the expression of inflammatory factors of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-1β(IL-1β)of cells in each group.Flow cytometry was applied to detect the cell apoptosis in each group.Western blot was applied to detect the expression of proliferation related protein of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA),apoptosis related proteins[B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2)and Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax)],and TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway related proteins(TLR4,NF-κB and NLRP3)of cells in each group.Results Compared with the Control group,the cell survival rate,the expression levels of PCNA and Bcl-2 proteins,the viabilities of SOD and CAT,and the GSH concentration in the UVB group decreased,while the apoptosis rate,the level of Bax protein,the relative content of ROS,the concentration of MDA,the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β,and the mRNA and protein levels of TLR4,NF-κB and NLRP3 increased(P<0.05).Compared with the UVB group,the cell survival rate,the expression levels of PCNA and Bcl-2 proteins,the viabilities of SOD and CAT,and the GSH concentration in the TAK-242 group and CUR group increased,while the apoptosis rate,the level of Bax protein,the relative content of ROS,the concentration of MDA,the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β,and the mRNA and protein levels of TLR4,NF-κB and NLRP3 decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the CUR group,the cell survival rate,the expression levels of PCNA and Bcl-2 proteins,the viabilities of SOD and CAT,and the GSH concentration in the CUR+LPS group decreased,while the apoptosis rate,the level of Bax protein,the relative content of ROS,the concentration of MDA,the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β,and the mRNA and protein levels of TLR4,NF-κB and NLRP3 increased(P<0.05).Conclusion CUR can increase the antioxidant stress level of keratinocytes,alleviate inflammatory response,promote cell proliferation,and improve cell damage caused by UVB irradiation,which may be related to the inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of fosaprepitant in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) following gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods:In this randomized parallel-controlled trial, 100 American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 18-64 yr, undergoing elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, were selected and divided into 2 groups ( n=50 each) in a ratio of 1∶1 using blocked randomization: fosaprepitant group (group F) and tropisetron group (group T). At 30 min before anesthesia induction, fosaprepitant 150 mg was intravenously infused in group F, and tropisetron 5 mg was intravenously infused in group T, both diluted in 150 ml of normal saline. Anesthesia was induced by intravenous injection of midazolam, etomidate, sufentanil and cisatracurium. Anesthesia was maintained by intravenous infusion of remifentanil and propofol. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia was performed with hydromorphone at the end of operation until 48 h after operation. Metoclopramide was given as rescue antiemetic. The PONV, requirement for antiemetic drugs and related adverse reactions were recorded within 24 h after surgery. Results:The incidence of PONV (10% vs 30%), the incidence of vomiting(2% vs 16%) and the rescue rate of antiemetic drugs(2% vs 12%)were significantly lower in group F than in group T ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of related adverse reactions between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Intravenous infusion of fosaprepitant 150 mg at 30 min before anesthesia induction effectively prevents PONV in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery, and the efficacy is superior to that of the conventional use of tropisetron.

Objective:To investigate the anti-heart failure mechanism of N-acetylcysteine(NAC)in diabetic cardiomyop-athy independent from coronary artery factors.Methods:A total of 40 diabetic mice after heart failure model construction were randomly divided into two groups,NAC group(n=20,NAC 100mg·kg-1·d-1)and control group(n=20,Saline 100 mg·kg-1·d-1).Echocardiography was performed to detect left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LVEDV),left ventricular end-systolic volume(LVESV),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),mitral left ventricular early-dias-tolic peak flow velocity/left ventricular late-diastolic peak flow velocity(E/A),isovolumic relaxation time(IVRT)and cardiac output(CO)after 4 weeks.Terminal uridine nick-end labeling(TUNEL)was performed to detect apoptosis in-dex,and Western Blot was performed to detect the expression of extracellular regulated protein kinases(ERK)1/2 after 6 weeks in two groups.Results:Compared to those in control group,mice in NAC group had significant higher LVEF[(40.5±3.4)％vs.(36.9±3.2)％],E/A[(1.5±0.1)vs.(1.4±0.1)]and CO[(10.3±0.6)ml/min vs.(9.9±0.5)ml/min](P＜0.05 or＜0.01);and significant lower LVESV[(23.1±1.3)μl vs.(24.7±1.5)μl],apoptosis index[(31.2±0.5)％vs.(45.1±0.9)％]and the expression of ERK1/2[(2.2±0.2)vs.(3.9±0.1)](P＜0.001 all).Conclusion:NAC exerts anti-heart failure effect by attenuating apoptosis of cardiomyocytes via regulating ERK1/2 pathway.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity(cfPWV)and carotid artery structural,hemodynamic,and cardiac functional parameters.Methods:A total of 420 healthy volunteers who underwent neck ultrasound,cardiac ultrasound,and cfPWV examination at Kailuan General Hospital from June 2022 to February 2023 were selected,and they were divided into two groups based on the atherosclerosis threshold value of cfPWV>10 m/s,which included high cfPWV group(140 cases,cfPWV>10 m/s)and low cfPWV group(280 cases,cfPWV≤10 m/s).The demographic data(age,sex)of 420 persons were collected,and the common carotid artery diameter(CCAD),common carotid artery intima-media thickness(CIMT),plaque status,peak systolic velocity(PSV),end-diastolic velocity(EDV)and mean flow velocity(MFV)were compared between two groups.Then,the differences of interventricular septal thickness(IVST)of heart,left ventricular posterior wall thickness(LVPWT),the ratio of blood flow velocity at early stage to that at advanced stage in mitral valve(E/A)and stroke volume(SV)were analyzed.Multivariate logistic regression was adopted to analyze the independent influence factors of cfPWV enhancement.Results:The average age of high cfPWV group was(61.31±9.66)years old,which was significantly higher than(51.06±10.47)years old of low cfPWV group,and the difference of that was significant(t=-9.56,P<0.01).In the parameters of common carotid artery,63 persons(45.0%)occurred plaque in 140 persons of high cfPWV group,which was significantly lower than 50 persons(17.86%)in 280 persons of low cfPWV group,and the difference of that between two groups was significant(x2=34.97,P<0.05).The differences of CCAD,CIMT,PSV,EDV and MV of common carotid artery at right side of persons between two groups were significant(t=-2.16,-5.40,4.52,5.59,5.04,P<0.05),respectively.The parameters of heart showed that the LVPWT thickness increased(9.35±1.13)mm,and the ratio of E/A<1 increased 77.86%in high cfPWV group,which were significantly related to the increase of cfPWV(r=0.27,0.38,P<0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age(OR=1.05,95%CI:1.02-1.08),CCAD(OR=1.63,95%CI:1.22-2.16),plaque presence(OR=1.84,95%CI:1.07-3.17),LVPWT(OR=1.35,95%CI:1.05-1.72),and the ratio of E/A<1(OR=2.37,95%CI:1.32-4.26)were independent predictors of cfPWV enhancement.Conclusion:The enhancement of cfPWV is closely related to high age,the reconstruction of common carotid artery(widening of inside diameter,and plaque formation),left ventricular hypertrophy,and diastolic abnormality,which indicates it is possible that atherosclerosis process accompanies by the change of interaction mechanism of blood vessels-heart.
