OBJECTIVE To evaluate the anticoagulant efficacy and safety of nafamostat mesylate （NM） in the treatment of uremic patients at high risk of bleeding undergoing continuous veno-venous hemofiltration （CVVH） with different methods （pre- dilution and post-dilution）. METHODS A total of 130 uremic patients at high risk of bleeding who underwent CVVH treatment in the nephrology department of Chongqing University Three Gorges Hospital from July 2023 to September 2024 were selected. They were divided into pre-dilution group and post-dilution group according to the random number table method， with 65 cases in each group. Both groups of patients received CVVH treatment under NM anticoagulation. The pre-dilution group adopted the pre-dilution replacement method， while the post-dilution group adopted the post-dilution replacement method. The coagulation， pressure， and usage duration of the filter and dialysis circuit venous reservoirs were compared between the two groups. The changes in prothrombin time （PT）， prothrombin time-international normalized ratio （PT-INR）， activated partial thromboplastin time （APTT）， and fibrinogen （FIB） in the peripheral venous blood before the heparin pump and after the filter at 1， 4 and 7 h of CVVH treatment， as well as 20 min after the end of treatment， were compared between the two groups. The single-compartment urea clearance rate （spKt/V）， β2-microglobulin （β2-MG） clearance rate and the incidence of adverse reactions were duni2007@foxmail.com compared between the two groups. RESULTS Both the pre-dilution and post-dilution groups had 60 patients who completed the study. The incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ coagulation of the filter and venous reservoirs， as well as the number of patients with transmembrane and venous pressure alarm intervention in the post- dilution group were significantly higher or more than those in the pre-dilution group （P＜0.05）， while usage time of the filter and the pipeline in the post-dilution group was significantly shorter than that in the pre-dilution group （P＜0.05）. The APTT values before the heparin pump as well as PT and APTT values after the filter at 1 h， 4 h， and 7 h of CVVH treatment in the post-dilution group were significantly higher than those in the pre-dilution group （P＜0.001）. There were no significant differences in PT， PT- INR， APTT and FIB between the two groups of patients 20 min after the end of treatment （P＞0.05）. The spKt/v and β2-MG clearance rates in the post-dilution group were significantly higher than those in the pre-dilution group （P＜0.001）. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS When NM is used as an anticoagulant in the CVVH treatment of uremic patients at high risk of bleeding， compared with the pre-dilution treatment method， the post-dilution treatment method has a higher incidence of filter and dialysis tubing venous reservoir， a shorter usage time of the filter and pipeline， and a greater impact on extracorporeal coagulation， but has a higher solute clearance rate. Clinically， different dilution methods can be selected according to the different treatment needs of patients.

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance of clinical isolates from elderly patients(≥65 years)in major medical institutions across China.Methods Bacterial strains were isolated from elderly patients in 52 hospitals participating in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program during the period from 2015 to 2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out by disk diffusion method and automated systems according to the same CHINET protocol.The data were interpreted in accordance with the breakpoints recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2021.Results A total of 514 715 nonduplicate clinical isolates were collected from elderly patients in 52 hospitals from January 1,2015 to December 31,2021.The number of isolates accounted for 34.3％of the total number of clinical isolates from all patients.Overall,21.8％of the 514 715 strains were gram-positive bacteria,and 78.2％were gram-negative bacteria.Majority(90.9％)of the strains were isolated from inpatients.About 42.9％of the strains were isolated from respiratory specimens,and 22.9％were isolated from urine.More than half(60.7％)of the strains were isolated from male patients,and 39.3％isolated from females.About 51.1％of the strains were isolated from patients aged 65-＜75 years.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains(MRSA)was 38.8％in 32 190 strains of Staphylococcus aureus.No vancomycin-or linezolid-resistant strains were found.The resistance rate of E.faecalis to most antibiotics was significantly lower than that of Enterococcus faecium,but a few vancomycin-resistant strains(0.2％,1.5％)and linezolid-resistant strains(3.4％,0.3％)were found in E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible S.pneumoniae(PSSP),penicillin-intermediate S.pneumoniae(PISP),and penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae(PRSP)was 94.3％,4.0％,and 1.7％in nonmeningitis S.pneumoniae isolates.The resistance rates of Klebsiella spp.(Klebsiella pneumoniae 93.2％)to imipenem and meropenem were 20.9％and 22.3％,respectively.Other Enterobacterales species were highly sensitive to carbapenem antibiotics.Only 1.7％-7.8％of other Enterobacterales strains were resistant to carbapenems.The resistance rates of Acinetobacter spp.(Acinetobacter baumannii 90.6％)to imipenem and meropenem were 68.4％and 70.6％respectively,while 28.5％and 24.3％of P.aeruginosa strains were resistant to imipenem and meropenem,respectively.Conclusions The number of clinical isolates from elderly patients is increasing year by year,especially in the 65-＜75 age group.Respiratory tract isolates were more prevalent in male elderly patients,and urinary tract isolates were more prevalent in female elderly patients.Klebsiella isolates were increasingly resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents,especially carbapenems.Antimicrobial resistance surveillance is helpful for accurate empirical antimicrobial therapy in elderly patients.

Objective To analyze the relationship of red blood cell distribution width(RDW)and blood lipid metabolism indicators with carotid atherosclerotic plaque stability in elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI).Methods A total of 110 elderly ACI patients admitted in our hospital from March 2021 to November 2024 were retrospectively recruited,and according to their carotid plaque characteristics,they were divided into stable plaque group(48 cases)and unstable plaque group(62 cases).The RDW,and levels of TC,TG,HDLC,LDL-C and homocysteine(Hcy)were detected.Results The unstable plaque group had significantly higher levels of RDW,TC,TG,LDL-C and Hcy,but lower HDL-C level than the stable plaque group(P＜0.01).RDW,TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C and Hcy were the influencing factors of carotid atherosclerotic plaque stability in elderly ACI patients(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).ROC curve analysis suggested that the AUC value of combined detection of RDW,TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C and Hcy in evaluating the stability of carotid atherosclerotic plaque was 0.940(95％CI:0.898～0.983),and the combination had bet-ter efficiency than single indicator detection(P＜0.05).Conclusion RDW and blood lipid metabo-lism indicators are associated with the stability of carotid atherosclerotic plaque in elderly ACI patients,and they can be used as biochemical evaluation indicators for the stability.

Objective To analyze and compare the ability of two chemiluminescent immunoassay systems for detecting HBsAg mutant strains.Methods The two chemiluminescent immunoassay systems,I3000 and Liaison XL,were used to detect nine HBsAg mutant strains with known HBsAg mutation sites respectively,and to compare the detection ability of these two systems for the nine HBsAg mutant strains.The clinical serum samples that were negative for HBsAg by the I3000 system were reviewed by the Liaison XL system for HBsAg,qRT-PCR amplification primers were designed for the HBsAg mutant strains with positive results by the Liaison XL system,and fluorescence quantitative PCR and Hepatitis B serologic tests were performed on the clinical samples that had inconsistent negative-positive results between the two aforementioned systems.Results The Liaison XL detected all nine HBsAg mutant strains with known HBsAg mutation sites with positive results,whereas the I3000 detected six of them with positive but three with negative results.Using the Liaison XL system to test 1 520 samples from hospitalized patients who were negative for HBsAg with the I3000 detection system,four positive results were found,including one positive result by the fluorescence quantitative PCR assay,which belonged to the HBsAg mutant of the mutant strain P124L-F/Y143H-D144E-G145R and the patient's test values for HBeAb and HBcAb were high,suggesting that the patient was a minor triple positive.Conclusion Liaison XL can detect the P124L-F/Y143H-D144E-G145R HBsAg mutant in clinical samples,and it is very important to select HBsAg test reagents with strong HBsAg mutant recognition and capture ability.
