Objective:To analyze the drug-resistance pattern and molecular epidemiological characteristics of Enterobacteriales carrying the blaNDM gene in Lishui, aiming to guide clinical anti-infection treatment. Methods:Non-duplicate blaNDM-carrying Enterobacteriales, isolated from Lishui Central Hospital, were collected and identified by VITEK MS. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were detected by the broth microdilution method. The ST types of the strains were determined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Plasmid types were identified by transformation or conjugation experiments and replication initiator amplification experiments. The transposon structures were detected by PCR amplification. Finally, the epidemic regularity of blaNDM gene in Lishui was analyzed from three levels: clonal group, plasmid, and mobile genetic elements. Results:A total of 109 blaNDM-positive strains were collected. Among them, 60 strains carried the blaNDM-1 gene and 49 strains carried the blaNDM-5 gene. The 109 strains showed 100% resistance to ceftazidime and cefotaxime. The resistance rates to peracillin-tazobactam and imipenem were higher than 80%. Strains carrying the blaNDM-5 gene were more resistant to meropenem than those carrying blaNDM-1 gene( P<0.05). A total of 68 STs were detected from 109 strains, and IncX3, IncFⅡγ, IncA/C and IncT/R plasmids were detected, and 90.83% of the blaNDM genes were located in the IncX3 plasmid. Twelve types of blaNDM gene surrounding structures existed, and they all carried the highly conserved blaNDM- bleMBL- trpF gene sequence. Conclusions:The blaNDM gene has diverse transmission modes in Lishui. The IncX3 plasmid is the main factor mediating its transfer, and all strains carry highly conserved blaNDM- bleMBL- trpF gene sequence.

Objective To investigate the impact of various health education intervention strategies on the proper use of personal respiratory protective equipment (RPE) among workers exposed to dust. Methods Dust-exposed workers were recruited from 60 selected enterprises in Guangdong Province using cluster random sampling method. They were randomly allocated to the control, low-intensity intervention, and high-intensity intervention groups, with 358, 346, and 371 workers in each group, respectively. Workers in the control group received no designed intervention. Workers in the low-intensity intervention group received traditional plus mobile health education on the proper use of RPE. Workers in the high-intensity intervention group received all components of the low-intensity intervention, supplemented with peer education. The intervention lasted for six months. RPE usage was compared among the three groups of workers before and after the intervention. Results Workers in the control, low-intensity intervention, and high-intensity intervention groups showed higher rates of both RPE wearing and correct RPE wearing after the intervention than before it within their respective groups (RPE wearing rate: 94.1% vs 99.2%, 95.7% vs 100.0%, 94.6% vs 100.0%, all P<0.01; correct RPE wearing rate: 66.8% vs 91.1%, 67.3% vs 95.7%, 66.6% vs 96.5%, all P<0.01). Post-intervention correct RPE wearing rates were highest in the high-intensity intervention group, followed by the low-intensity intervention group, and the control group, with the percentage of 96.50%, 95.66% and 91.06%, respectively (P<0.01). Binary logistic regression analysis result showed that different intervention strategies affected the correct use of personal RPE among dust-exposed workers after adjusting for gender, age, and other confounding factors (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the rates of correct RPE use increased in the low-intensity intervention group and the high-intensity intervention group (odd ratio was 2.14 and 3.01; 95% confidence interval was 1.12 - 4.10 and 1.53 - 5.91, respectively). Conclusion The implementation of traditional plus mobile health education interventions on the proper use of RPE can promote correct RPE utilization among dust-exposed workers, and integrating peer education further enhances the intervention effectiveness.

Objective To identify the most significantly compressed areas and the areas with the best recovery effects by analyzing the changes in vertebral height after percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP)in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures(OVCF)through lateral radiographs.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the lateral X-rays of 186 injured vertebrae from 142 patients hospitalized in our hospital's intervertebral disc center.The sagittal height of the vertebrae was measured at five different points before and after surgery,and the collected data were statistically analyzed using SPSS software.Results There were statistically significant differences in the heights of the five measured points before and after surgery within OVCF injured vertebrae(P＜0.05),in the ascending order:central＜mid-anterior＜mid-posterior＜anterior edge＜posterior edge.Comparison of the height parameters of the five measured points before and after surgery showed statistically significant differences(P＜0.01).In comparing the height restoration differences of the five measured points after PVP,the differences between central and mid-anterior,central and anterior edge,and mid-posterior and anterior edge were found not to be statistically significant(P＞0.05).The differences in height restoration for the remaining groups were statistically significant(P＜0.05),with the height restoration differences from highest to lowest being:mid-anterior,central,anterior edge,mid-posterior,posterior edge.Conclusion In patients with OVCF,the compression of the injured vertebra is most pronounced in the central part,followed by the mid-anterior part.PVP surgery can effectively restore the height of various parts of the injured vertebra,especially in the mid-anterior and central parts of the vertebral body,where the recovery effect is particularly significant.

OBJECTIVE To establish a quantitative fingerprint analysis method for sugar components in Yuanhu Zhitong oral liquid using high performance liquid chromatography-charged aerosol detection(HPLC-CAD). METHODS Chromatographic column was NH2P-50 4E(4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm) column. Water(A) and acetonitrile(B) were used as the mobile phase in the gradient elute mode. The column temperature was 30 ℃. The injection volume was 10 μL. The flow rate was 0.6 mL·min−1. The evaporation temperature of CAD was 35 ℃. The acquisition frequency was 10 Hz. The power function value was 1.0. RESULTS The linear relationship of the quantitative component was good within the quantitative range, with R2>0.999. The relative standard deviations(RSDs) of instrument precision, intermediate precision and method repeatability were all <3%. The test solution was stable within 24 h. The average recoveries at low, medium and high concentration levels ranged 97.15%−101.13%. There were 5 common peaks in the fingerprint. The RSDs of instrument precision, method repeatability and sample stability were all <4%. CONCLUSION The established analytical method is stable, accurate and reproducible. It can be used to detect sugar excipients in the preparations.

Objective:To investigate the detection rate of pulmonary nodules (PN) by CT scan at different doses and the application value of artificial intelligence(AI) system assistance.Methods:From October 2019 to October 2021, 210 patients with PN in Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Capital Medical University, were retrospectively selected, and they were divided into the study group (106 cases) and the control group (104 cases) by CT scan at different doses. The control group used the conventional average dose (169 mAs) CT scan, the study group used an average low-dose (54 mAs) CT scan. The PN detection rate of different gender, age, body mass index (BMI) between the two groups were compared. The morphological characteristics, radiation dose, CT image quality between the two groups were compared. The diagnostic efficiency of radiologists and AI system was compared.Results:The detection rate of PN in the study group and the control group had no significant difference: 73.58% (78/106) vs. 80.77%(84/104), χ2 = 1.54, P>0.05. The detection rate of PN with different gender, age group and BMI in the two groups had no significant differences ( P>0.05). The diameter of nodules and the rates of calcification, cavitation, bronchial sign, lobar sign, burr sign and pleural adhesion sign in the two groups had no significant differences ( P>0.05). The mean effective tubular bulb dose, length product of radiation dose, total tubular bulb dose, radiation volume dose index in the study group were higher than those in the control group: (46.15 ± 7.38) mAs vs. (104.39 ± 10.53) mAs, (169.24 ± 19.77) mGy·cm vs. (427.17 ± 43.58) mGy·cm, (972.65 ± 58.34) mAs vs. (2 861.26 ± 181.37) mAs, (3.55 ± 1.16) mGy vs. (8.95 ± 2.07) mGy, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The excellent, good, acceptable, poor of 1.0 mm image quality in the study group were 26, 60, 18, 2, and in the control group were 32, 64, 8, 0, there was statistical difference ( u =1.71, P = 0.087). The excellent, good, acceptable, poor of maximum intensity projection (MIP) image quality in the study group were 58, 42, 6, 0 and in the control group were 70, 34, 0, 0, there was statistical difference ( u = 1.81, P = 0.070). The detection rate of PN by AI low-dose CT scan was higher than that of radiologists: 88.68%(94/106) vs. 73.58%(78/106), there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 7.89, P = 0.005). Conclusions:The low-dose CT chest scans for PN, the results of detection rate, morphological characteristics, CT image quality are basically the same as those of conventional-dose CT chest scans, and can greatly reduce the radiation dose, which is more suitable for PN screening, and combined with AI system can significantly improve the detection rate of PN.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Ohkuma questionnaire.Methods:The Ohkuma questionnaire was translated and revised, before it was used to investigate 70 elderly patients. Cronbach′s alpha coefficient, Cohen′s kappa coefficient and Pearson correlation were used to evaluate the scale′s internal reliability, sub-item retest reliability and total score retest reliability. KMO and Bartlett tests were used to evaluate the validity. The correlation between the Chinese version of the Ohkuma questionnaire and ratings from video fluoroscopy before and after treatment was used to evaluate the scale′s discrimination ability.Results:The Cronbach′s alpha of the Chinese version of Ohkuma questionnaire was 0.831, with 0.814 in the initial evaluation and 0.808 in a second evaluation. The Cohen′s kappas of the 15 sub-items ranged from 0.728 to 1.000. The Pearson correlation coefficient of the total score was 0.914. The scale′s KMO value was 0.701. A t-test of the Ohkuma scores before and after treatment showed a statistically significant difference.Conclusion:The revised Chinese Ohkuma questionnaire has good reliability, validity and discriminatory power. It can be used to screen for dysphagia among the elderly.

Objective To study the effect on renal function about repeated use of contrast media , and whether alprostadil has protective effect towards contrast-induced nephropathy ( CIN) .Methods 80 adult patients who had ever received contrast examination and scheduled to have PCI within 1 month were randomly divided into two groups: the simple hydration group and the hydration plus alprostadil therapy group.The serum level of creati-nine,urea, Cystatin C, Urineβ-microglobulin and creatinine clearance were recorded and compared between the two groups , and were observed before and after repeated exposure of contrast medium.The incidence of CIN was analyzed .Results Compared with pre-contrast levels , serum levels of urea, creatinin, Cystatin C and Urine β-microglobulin all elevated after single and repeated contrast media use in patients in the simple hydration group ( P<0.05 ) .The incidence of CIN did not differ after single or repeated contrast used (2.5%vs.15.0%, P>0.05).After repeated contrast exposure compared with patients with simple hydration , patients in the alprostadil group had repeated serum levels of urea [(7.4 ±2.3) mmol/L vs.(9.1 ±2.6) mmol/L], creatinia [(87.2 ±25.6) μmol/L vs.(96.9 ± 25.8) μmol/L], Cystatin C [(0.8 ±0.3) mg/L vs.(1.4 ±0.3) mg/L] and Urine β-microglobulin [(207.0 ±31.9 ) μg/L vs.(279.3 ±37.3 ) μg/L] were all lower with higher creatinin clearance [(92.2 ±24.2) ml/min vs.(78.2 ±27.5) ml/min](all P<0.05).The incidence of CIN in patients with alprostadil did not differ after single or repeated contrast used (2.5%vs.7.5%, P>0.05).The incidence of CIN in patients treated with alprostadil had no difference compared with patients with simple hydration after repeated contract (7.5% vs.15.0%, χ2 =0.501,P=0.479).Conclusions Contrast media can cause damage to renal function .Short-term repeated use of contrast media can further worsen renal function without significant increase in CIN rates .Alprostadil may have renoprotective effect towards CIN .

Objective:To evaluate the effect of antiviral therapy on HBV reactivation and liver function after liver resection in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods:A total of 174 HBV-DNA(?) HCC patients were recruited into two groups:antiviral ther-apy group (66 cases) and control group (108 cases). In the antiviral group, patients were given entecavir dispersible tablet, whereas no antiviral therapies were given in the control group. The HBV reactivation and liver function index rates were statistically analyzed. Re-sults:Rates of HBV reactivation after hepatectomy were 3.0%and 27.8%in the antiviral therapy group and control group, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that minor hepatectomy (HR, 4.695;95%CI, 1.257-17.537, P=0.021) and no antiviral therapy (HR, 8.164;95%CI, 1.831-36.397, P=0.006) were independent risk factors for HBV reactivation. The levels of ALT, TBil, ALB, and PT within 7 days af-ter liver resection were similar between the antiviral therapy group and the control group and between the reactivation group and no-reactivation group. However, the ALT and ALB levels were significantly better in the antiviral group compared with that in the control group after 30 days. Conclusion:HBV reactivation can occur after liver resection for HBV-DNA(?) HCC patients. Preoperative antiviral therapy can reduce the risk of HBV reactivation, thus protecting liver function in patients undergoing liver resection.
