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 investigate the effect of remimazolam on core body temperature(CBT)and thermoregulatory vasoconstriction in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods 90 gynaecology patients with ovarian or cervical cancer from Jan 2024 to Jun 2024 were randomly divided into experimental group(group R)and control group(group C).45 patients in each group were induced and maintained with remimazolam or propofol.After induction of anesthesia,the CBT and mean skin temperature(MST)were continuously monitored using a nasopharyngeal temperature probe and a skin temperature probe respectively.Record CBT and MST of two groups of patients before surgery(T0),30 min(T1),60 min(T2),90 min(T3),120 min(T4),150 min(T5),180 min(T6)after induction of anesthesia and at extubation(T7),as well as forearm-fingertip temperature gradient(TFOR-FIN).Record vasoconstriction threshold and time to onset of vasoconstriction by TFOR-TIN.Record the changes in mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR),and cardiac index(CI)at each time point(T0,T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6 and T7 time point);Record the incidence of hypothermia,hypotension and bradycardia and the use of vasoactive drugs.Results Compared with T0 time point,the CBT and TFOR-TIN at T1 to T7 time point decreased significantly,but the MST increased(P<0.05);In group C,the CBT at T1 to T5 decreased significantly than in group R(P<0.05);Compared with group C,MST in group R increased significantly at time T1 to T7(P<0.05).The vasoconstriction threshold in group R was significantly higher than that in group C,and the time to reach the vasoconstriction threshold was significantly less than that in group C(P<0.05).Compared with T0 time point,MAP and CI at T1,T2,T3 time point decreased significantly in two groups,MAP and CI at T1,T2,T3 time point in group R were higher than those in group C(P<0.05);Compared with group R,the incidence of perioperative hypothermia(PH)and hypotension and the utilization rate of ephedirine in group C were increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Remimazolam and propofol for gynecological laparoscopic general anesthesia can cause intraoperative temperature drop in patients,compared with propofol,remimazolam general anesthesia has less influence on CBT,more stable hemodynamics,less influence on thermoregulatory vasoconstriction,less degree of diastolic blood vessels,has better body temperature protection.

Objective To examine the changing prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Burkholderia cepacia in 52 hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were collected from 52 hospitals between January 1,2015 and December 31,2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility of the strains was tested using Kirby-Bauer method or automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems according to a unified protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released in the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)guidelines(2023 edition).Results A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were isolated from all age groups,especially elderly patients.The proportion was 11.1％(1 032 strains)in children,significantly lower than the proportion in adults.About half(46.5％,4 310/9 261)of the strains were isolated from patients at least 60 years old and 42.3％(3 919/9 261)of the strains were isolated from young adults.Most isolates(71.1％)were isolated from sputum and respiratory secretions,followed by urine(10.7％)and blood samples(8.1％).B.cepacia isolates were highly susceptible to the five antimicrobial agents recommended in the CLSI M100 document(33rd edition,2023).B.cepacia isolates showed relatively higher resistance rates to meropenem and levofloxacin.However,the resistance rates to ceftazidime,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,and minocycline remained below 8.1％.The percentage of B.cepacia strains resistant to levofloxacin was the highest compared to other antibiotics in any of the three age groups(from 12.4％in the patients＜18 years old to 20.6％in the patients aged 60 years or older).Conclusions B.cepacia is one of the clinically important non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria.Accurate and timely reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility test results and ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance are helpful for rational prescription of antimicrobial agents and proper prevention and control of nosocomial infections.

Objective To explore the mechanism by which curcumin improves behavioral deficits in mice with Parkinson's disease(PD)through fecal microbiota transplantation.Methods A subacute model of PD in mice was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP).Fecal microbiota from both the model group and the curcumin(Cur)-treated group(80 m g/kg)were collected and analyzed.The experiment involving fecal microbiota transplantation was structured into four distinct groups,fecal microbiota solvent transplantation group(FMTcon),model fecal microbiota transplantation group(FMTmodel),MPTP-induced model group(model),and model group subjected to fecal microbiota transplantation following curcumin treatment(model+FMTCur).The motor skills of the mice were assessed by using rod rotation,pole climbing experiment,and open field tests.Immunofluorescence techniques were employed to observe the expression tyrosine hydroxylase(TH)-positive neurons in the substantia nigra of the brain.Additionally,the gene expression of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in the midbrain of mice was analyzed,alongside the protein expression of nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)and nucleotide binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3).Results The subacute PD animal model in mice was successfully established,and fecal microbiota were separated and gathered.The model group exhibited significant motor impairment,as evidenced by a shortened rod rotation time(P＜0.05),prolonged pole climbing time(P＜0.05),significantly reduced total movement distance within the open field(P＜0.001),and decreased time spent in the central zone(P＜0.01).The relative expression level of TH+neurons in the substantia nigra was significantly reduced(P＜0.01).Moreover,mRNA expression of TNF-α in the midbrain increased significantly(P＜0.01),along with significant elevations in protein expression of NF-κB(P＜0.001),phosphorylated NF-κB(p-NF-κB)(P＜0.01),NLRP3(P＜0.001),and Caspase-1(P＜0.01).The transplanted model microbial group(FMTmodel)also exhibited motor impairment,manifested by a trend of shortened rod rotation time,prolonged pole climbing time,a significant decrease in total movement distance within the open field(P＜0.01),and a trend of shortened time spent in the central zone.The relative expression level of TH+neurons in the substantia nigra decreased significantly(P＜0.05).Additionally,mRNA expression of TNF-α in the midbrain increased significantly(P＜0.01),along with notable elevations in the protein expression of NF-κB(P＜0.05),and Caspase-1(P＜0.01).Treatment with curcumin in the fecal microbiota transplantation group of mice(model+FMTCur)showed improvements in motor abilities,evidenced by shortened pole climbing time(P＜0.05),significantly prolonged rod rotation time(P＜0.01),and extended time spent in the central zone(P＜0.05).The relative expression level of TH+dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra increased significantly(P＜0.05).Moreover,mRNA expression of TNF-α in the midbrain decreased significantly(P＜0.01),along with notable reductions in the protein expression of NF-κB(P＜0.001),p-NF-κB(P＜0.01),NLRP3(P＜0.05),and Caspase-1(P＜0.01).Conclusion Fecal microbiota transplantation in PD model mice can induce behavioral deficits,damage TH+neurons in the substantia nigra,and trigger neuroinflammation in the brain.Subsequent curcumin treatment can ameliorate these deficits,reverse damage to TH+neurons,reduce neuroinflammatory factors,and decrease the expression of NF-κB and NLRP3 pathways.This preliminary evidence suggests that curcumin may improve Parkinsonian behavioral deficits in mice by modulating the gut microbiota.

Objective To discuss the effect of different particle activities and tumor shrinkage speed on the dosimetric parameters of the target area at the same prescription dose after 125I particle implantation.Methods A 6cm-sized cube tumor model was outlined by using a computerized three-dimensional treatment planning system(3D-TPS)with a prescription dose(PD)of 100 Gy,and 125I particle activities of 0.4 mCi and 0.8 mCi were selected.Assuming that the tumor shrinks centripetally after seed implantation and that the 125I particles were uniformly and centripetally concentrated without shedding or wandering,the tumor volume shrank at different rates every month after implantation(0,5％,10％,15％,20％,25％,30％,35％,40％,45％and 50％),according to the different activities of 125I particles,the experiments were divided into A1-K1 group(0.4 mCi)and A2-K2 group(0.8 mCi).Based on the 125I particle decay law,the validation program(using TPS simulation of the A1-K1 group and A2-K2 group at postoperative 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 months)obtained the dose received by 90％of the target volume(D90)in the two groups with different 125I particle activities at different postoperative time points,the percentages of the target volume covered by the 100％,150％and 90％prescription dose(V100,V150,V90),and the mean dose(Dmean).By comparing the differences in D90,V100,V150,V90 and Dmean after tumor implantation of 125I particles with different activities,the dosimetric impact of the tumor target area shrinking at a rate of 0～50％after implantation of 125I particles with different activities into tumor tissues was analyzed.Results When the monthly shrinkage rate of the tumor target area was≤30％,there was no obvious difference in D90 between the 0.4 mCi group and 0.8 mCi group in 1～6 months after surgery.When the monthly shrinkage rate of the tumor target area was＞30％,the D90 of 0.8 mCi group was higher than that of 0.4 mCi group;when the monthly shrinkage rate of the tumor target area was＜25％,the V90 of 0.4 mCi group was higher than that of 0.8 mCi group,and the changes of V90 of the two groups tended to be the same in the 5th～6th month after surgery.When the monthly shrinkage rate of the tumor target area was ≥30％,the V90 of 0.8 mCi group was higher than that of 0.4 mCi group,and with the increasing of shrinkage rate,the difference between the two groups become more and more significant,the results of V100 were consistent with those of V90.When the monthly shrinkage rate of tumor target area＜35％,V150 of 0.4 mCi group was higher than that of 0.8 mCi group,when the monthly shrinkage rate of tumor target area ≥35％,V150 of 0.8 mCi group was higher than that of 0.4 mCi group,and with the increasing of shrinkage rate,the difference between the two groups become more and more prominent.When the monthly shrinkage rate of tumor target area＜25％,Dmean of 0.4 mCi group was higher than that of 0.8 mCi group,when the monthly shrinkage rate of tumor target area ≥25％,Dmean of 0.8 mCi group was higher than that of 0.4 mCi group,and with the increasing of shrinkage rate,the difference between the two groups become more and more obvious.Conclusion With the same prescription dose,when the tumor target area shrinks at a rate of＜30％per month,the activity of 125I particles has little effect on D90,and all V90,V100,V150 and Dmean in the low activity group are higher than those in the high activity group,meanwhile the homogeneity of the target area is relatively good;when the monthly shrinkage rate of tumor target area ≥35％,all D90,V90,V100,V150 and Dmean in the high activity group are higher than those in the low activity group,and the duration of the presence of high-dose area is long.This difference becomes more obvious with the increasing of the monthly shrinkage rate of the target area.

Objective To investigate the effect of different strand lengths of 125I seeds with the same activity on the dose of different reference points around the seeds.Methods The scanned images were transferred to the three-dimensional treatment planning system(3D-TPS)according to DICOM format.The target volume was delineated at 5 mm and 10 mm above and below the center of the phantom,and a 0.8 mCi seeds strand was simulated.The 1-20 seeds were arranged with an equal spacing of 5 mm(5 mm-100 mm).The 5 mm points above and below the center of the seeds strand were defined as point A and point A',and the 10 mm points above and below the center were defined as point B and point B'.5 mm above and below the edge of the seeds strand on the left side were defined as AL points and AL'points,and 5 mm above and below the edge of the seeds strand on the right side were defined as AR points and AR'points.Similarly,points 10 mm above the above mentioned positions were defined as BL points,BL'points,BR points,BR'points.The average dose symmetry points were measured at AL,AL',AR,and 5 mm,10 mm,15 mm and 20 mm inside AR' of the 45 mm-100 mm seeds strand.The dose at the center was compared with the dose at the end points.The dose at the center point A was compared with the average dose at the symmetry points of 5 mm,10 mm,15 mm and 20 mm inside of the end points AL,AL',AR and AR',and the dose at each point was curve fitting.The correlation between each point and seeds strands of different lengths was analyzed.Results There was a positive correlation between the dose and the length of each point.There was no statistically significant difference between the center point and the end point.There was a statistically significant difference in dosage at points 5 mm and 10 mm inside from point A,while there was no statistically significant difference in dosage at points 15 mm and 20 mm inside from point A.The dose of A,A',B and B' point increased steadily with the increase of seed chain length,and the fitting curves were obtained respectively:y=e(-0.620/x+5.28)(R2=0.992),y=e(-0.640/x+5.34)(R2=0.987),y=e(-0.82/x+4.80)(R2=0.984),y=e(-0.82/x+4.83)(R2=0.9g1).Conclusion The doses at points A,A',B,and B'are positively correlated with seeds strand length and have a high degree of stability.Point A can be used as a reference point for the target area dose of the seeds strand,and point B can be used as a reference point for the dose to critical organs.The dose at other positions is more variable and thus has a certain degree of uncertainty as a reference point for the seeds strand dose.
