Objective To analyze drug resistance and clustering of environmental and clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) in ICU of a medical institution in Shanghai. Methods The isolates of A. baumannii from ICU environments and clinic were used to analyze the contamination and distribution in 2021-2024. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out with microbroth dilution method. Whole genome sequencing was performed out of strains for MLST typing and SNP clustering. Results The detection rate of contamination in ICU environment was 7.67%, and the most serious contamination was found in pillows, bedding, hospital gowns and other items that patients directly contacted. Clinical isolates were predominantly from sputum specimens. The environmental and clinical isolates had a high level of resistance to third generation cephalosporins, third generation quinolones and carbapenems (more than 85%). Environmental isolates had a low level of resistance to polymyxin B, but none of the clinical isolates were resistant. MLST typing showed that ST2 was the dominant clone (66.67%), and SNP clustering found that isolates from different sources but with the same ST type were clustered together. Conclusion ST2 is the dominant clone of A. baumannii isolates in this medical institution, and there is cross-contamination between different samples. Monitoring of drug resistance and disinfection should be further strengthened to prevent the emergence and spread of pan-resistant or even fully resistant strains.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in children with stage 4/M neuroblastoma (NB).Methods:This study was a prospective, single-arm, multicenter clinical trial conducted by Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Children′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. From March, 2019 to August, 2023, 25 children with confirmed with stage 4/M NB and received allo-HSCT were enrolled. The patients received either unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT) or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). Conditioning regimens for UCBT was fludarabine+busulfan+cyclophosphamide+topotecan, and for PBSCT was fludarabine+busulfan+melphalan+thiotepa+antithymocyte globulin, respectively. Until the last follow-up date of September, 2023, the overall survival (OS) rate and event free survival (EFS) rate were analyzed to evaluate efficacy. The engraftment rate and transplant-related complications were statistically assessed to evaluate safety. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method.Results:Of the 25 patients, there were 15 males and 10 females. The age at transplantation was 5.7 (3.8, 7.3) years. The engraft rate was 100%, with recovery time of neutrophil as 15.7 (12.5, 17.0) d, and the recovery time of platelets as 33.5 (18.0, 48.0) d. Seventeen of the 25 children (68%) developed acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD), occurred at 18.0 (13.0, 22.5) d after transplantation, including 13 of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ cases. The main sites of aGVHD were skin and intestinal tract. After treatment, 13 cases improved, 4 patients developed chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). After allo-HSCT, 14 children received maintenance therapy. Twenty of the 25 patients survived, the 2-year cumulative OS rate was (80±9)%, and 2-year EFS rate was (56±11)%. Nine cases (36%) relapsed, the time from allo-HSCT to disease relapse was 10.9 (5.5, 16.0) months. Five cases (20%) died. The hematopoietic stem cell transplantation associated mortality rate was 4% (1/25).The 2-year OS rate of patients who had partial remission prior to allo-HSCT was significant lower than those who had complete remission prior to allo-HSCT ((33±25)% vs. 100%, P=0.037). Conclusion:allo-HSCT is an effective treatment for patients with stage 4/M NB.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic interstitial lung disease, is characterized by aberrant wound healing, excessive scarring and the formation of myofibroblastic foci. Although the role of alternative splicing (AS) in the pathogenesis of organ fibrosis has garnered increasing attention, its specific contribution to pulmonary fibrosis remains incompletely understood. In this study, we identified an up-regulation of serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 7 (SRSF7) in lung fibroblasts derived from IPF patients and a bleomycin (BLM)-induced mouse model, and further characterized its functional role in both human fetal lung fibroblasts and mice. We demonstrated that enhanced expression of Srsf7 in mice spontaneously induced alveolar collagen accumulation. Mechanistically, we investigated alternative splicing events and revealed that SRSF7 modulates the alternative splicing of pyruvate kinase (PKM), leading to metabolic dysregulation and fibroblast activation. In vivo studies showed that fibroblast-specific knockout of Srsf7 in conditional knockout mice conferred resistance to bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Importantly, through drug screening, we identified lomitapide as a novel modulator of SRSF7, which effectively mitigated experimental pulmonary fibrosis. Collectively, our findings elucidate a molecular pathway by which SRSF7 drives fibroblast metabolic dysregulation and propose a potential therapeutic strategy for pulmonary fibrosis.

Objective:To explore the different categories of organizational involution among ICU nurses and its relationship with job burnout, so as to provide a basis for optimizing medical organization management strategies.Methods:From January to February 2025, 318 ICU nurses from four ClassⅢ hospitals in Taizhou City were selected as research subjects using convenience sampling. The General Information Questionnaire, Nursing Burnout Scale, and Organizational Involution Scale were used to conduct the survey. Latent profile analysis was used to identify latent categories of organizational involution among ICU nurses, and one-way analysis of variance was used to explore differences in ICU nurses' job burnout scores across different latent categories of organizational involution. A total of 318 questionnaires were distributed, and 306 valid questionnaires were returned, with a valid return rate of 96.23%.Results:The 306 ICU nurses' organizational involution was divided into three latent categories of low involution-high efficiency group (34.97%, 107/306), moderate involution-systemic consumption group (42.81%, 131/306), and high involution-total imbalance group (22.22%, 68/306). There were statistically significant differences in job burnout scores between different latent categories of organizational involution among ICU nurses ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The overall level of organizational involution among ICU nurses is moderately high, and there is heterogeneity. There is a correlation between organizational involution and job burnout. Nursing managers should optimize organizational management, break the negative cycle of organizational involution and job burnout, and improve nurses' job satisfaction.
