Objective To screen the anti-Streptococcus pneumoniae(Spn)active ingredients in vitro from different po-lar parts of Pilea peltata,and to examine the combined antibacterial effect of the active ingredient and amoxicillin(AMX).Methods A 96-well plate microdilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)of different polar parts;the most active polar part was separated by preparative high-performance liquid chromatography,and the active ingre-dients were identified using spectral technology.The fractional inhibitory concentration(FIC)of active ingredients and AMX was determined by the 96-well plate chessboard microdilution method.The crystal violet method was used to investigate the effect of ac-tive ingredients on Spn biofilm.The effect of active ingredients on the appearance and morphology of Spn was investigated under the electron microscope.Results The MICs of the petroleum ether part,chloroform part,ethyl acetate part,n-butanol part,and water part were 1.000,1.000,0.500,1.000,and 2.000 mg·mL-1 respectively,among which the ethyl acetate part had the stron-gest antibacterial activity.Three compounds were isolated from ethyl acetate,namely 5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone 1,8-O-(p-coumaroyl)-1(10)E,4(5)E-humuladien-8-ol 2 and 1-O-p-coumaroyl copaborneol 3.These compounds were all isolated for the first time from Pilea peltate,their MICs against Spn were 200.000,50.000,and 25.000 μg·mL-1 respectively,and the compound 3 had the strongest antibacterial activity;the FIC value of AMX and compound 3 was 0.50,which had a synergistic antibacterial effect on Spn.Both AMX and compound 3 had inhibitory effects on Spn biofilm,but the biofilm inhibition rate of compound 3(59.10±1.04%)was significantly lower than AMX(87.38±0.84)%(P<0.01);Moreover,there was no significant difference in biofilm inhibition rate between the combination of the two and AMX(P>0.05).The scanning electron microscope results showed that the bacterial cells in the compound 3 group had a smooth surface but varying degrees of depression.The surface of the bacteri-al cells in the AMX group and the AMX combined compound 3 group showed severe swelling and rupture.Conclusions Fla-vonoids and sesquiterpenoids are both the anti-Spn active components of Pilea peltate.Among them,sesquiterpenoids have more potent antibacterial activity,and their antibacterial action mechanism is related to inhibiting bacterial biofilms.Compound 3 and AMX have a synergistic antibacterial effect on Spn,but its mechanism of action is not by enhancing biofilm inhibition;although compound 3 cannot destroy the cell wall of Spn,it still has a negative impact on the appearance of the bacteria.

Objective:To evaluate the association between heatwaves and fall-related mortality.Methods:A total of 61 421 fall-related mortality from 2013 to 2022 in 7 provinces of China were included in a time-stratified case-crossover design, with daily meteorological data derived from the fifth generation European Reanalysis dataset produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. Conditional logistic regression chimeric distributed lag nonlinear model was used to analyze the association between heatwaves and fall-related mortality and stratified analysis was conducted according to gender and age.Results:Heatwaves were associated with an increased risk of fall-related morality. The risk of fall-related mortality during heatwaves was higher than during non-heatwave periods ( OR=1.11, 95% CI: 1.05-1.18). The attributable fraction of fall-related motality due to heatwaves was 10.25% (95% CI: 4.49%-15.36%). For each 1 ℃ increase above the heatwave threshold, the risk of fall-related mortality increased by 34% ( OR=1.34, 95% CI: 1.02-1.76). The effect of heatwave duration on fall-related mortality was not statistically significant. Stratified analyses indicated that women experienced a higher risk of fall-related mortality during heatwaves ( OR=1.13, 95% CI: 1.04-1.22) compared to man ( OR=1.10, 95% CI: 1.04-1.17). Conclusions:Heatwave increases the risk of fall-related mortality, and the intensity of heatwaves modify this risk. Women are vulnerable populations.

Objective:To report the results of bacterial resistant investigation collaborative system(BRICS)on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-negative bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2023,and provide reference for clinical tretment of bloodstream infections and prevention and control of bacterial resistance.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of BRICS were collected during January 2023 to December 2023. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI). WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period,11 492 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 60 hospitals,of which 10 098(87.9%)were Enterobacterales and 1 394(12.1%)were non-fermentative bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli(50.0%), Klebsiella pneumoniae(26.1%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa(5.1%), Acinetobacter baumannii complex(5.0%)and Enterobacter cloacae complex(4.1%). The ESBL-producing rates in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirablilis were 46.8%(2 685/5 741),18.3%(549/2 999)and 44.0%(77/175),respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli(CREC)and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)were 1.3%(76/5 741)and 15.0%(450/2 999);32.9%(25/76)and 78.0%(351/450)of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to ceftazidime/avibactam combination,respectively. 94.7%(72/76)and 90.2%(406/450)of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to aztreonam/avibactam combination. Furthermore,57.9%(44/76)and 79.1%(356/450)were sensitive to imipenem/relebactam combination. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB)complex was 64.6%(370/573),while more than 80.0% of CRAB complex was sensitive to tigecycline,eravacycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(CRPA)was 17.0%(99/581). There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of important Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions in China,with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CREC,CRKP,CRPA and CRAB complex( χ2=10.6,28.6,10.8 and 19.3, P<0.05). The prevalence of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli, CREC,CRAB complex and CRKP were higher in provincial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals( χ2=12.5,9.8,12.7 and 57.8,all P<0.01). Conclusions:Gram-negative bacteria are the main pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China,and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top,while the trend of Klebsiella pneumoniae increases continuously with time. CRKP infection shows a slow upward trend,CREC infecton maintains a low prevalence level,and CRAB complex infection continues to exhibit a high prevalence rate. The composition and resistance patterns of pathogens causing bloodstream infections vary to some extent across different regions and levels of hospitals in China.

Objective:To explore the effects of simultaneous transplantation of multiple foot flaps in repairing defects of varying degrees on the palmar side of multiple fingers.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From February 2020 to March 2023, 11 patients aged 23-52 years with defects on the palmar side of multiple fingers (with 38 affected fingers) meeting the inclusion criteria were hospitalized at Longgang Orthopedics Hospital of Shenzhen, including 8 males (with 31 affected fingers) and 3 females (with 7 affected fingers). All affected fingers sustained skin and soft tissue defects, along with exposed deep tissue such as finger bones and tendons, and 2 thumbs exhibited nail bed and distal phalanx defects. The defect area of each finger ranged from 1.5 cm×1.0 cm to 5.5 cm×3.0 cm. Foot flaps were designed based on the area and depth of the finger defects, and multiple foot flaps were transplanted simultaneously to repair the wounds of fingers. The area of single flap resected ranged from 2.0 cm×1.0 cm to 5.5 cm×3.0 cm. Donor site wounds were closed directly or covered using artificial dermis or split-thickness skin grafts. The number of resected flaps, the number of affected fingers repaired, and the surgical duration were recorded. The flap survival and foot donor site wound healing were observed postoperatively. The flap and donor and recipient sites recovery were observed during follow-up. At the final follow-up, the functional recovery of affected fingers was evaluated based on the trial criteria of the Chinese Medical Association's Hand Surgery Society for function evaluation of thumb and finger reconstruction, the sensory function of the flaps was assessed by the sensory function evaluation standard of the British Medical Research Council, the cold tolerance of the affected hands was evaluated with the Cold Intolerance Severity Scale, the scars at the recipient and donor sites were assessed using the Vancouver scar scale (VSS), and the function recovery of flap donor foot was evaluated with the Maryland Foot Score criteria.Results:Donor sites were selected from 16 feet with 2-4 flaps harvested from each foot. Specifically, skin and soft tissue defects in 27 affected fingers were repaired using free lateral toe flaps, skin and soft tissue defects in 9 affected fingers were repaired using free medial foot flaps, and skin and soft tissue defects with finger bone defects in 2 affected fingers were repaired using free toenail osteocutaneous flaps. The surgical duration ranged from 5.60 to 9.25 hours. Postoperatively, all transplanted flaps in affected fingers survived, and all foot donor site wounds healed. Follow-up for 12-25 months showed that the appearance, color, and texture of the flaps were similar to the surrounding normal skin. The affected finger pulp was full with the fingertip having restored pain and touch sensation. There was no pain in the donor site of foot, and the walking ability of patients was not affected. At the final follow-up, the functional recovery was evaluated as excellent for 36 affected fingers and good for 2 affected fingers. The sensory function rating of the flaps was graded as S3-S4, and all affected fingers were mild intolerant to cold. VSS scores of the scars at the recipient sites ranged from 1-3, and VSS scores of the scars at the donor sites ranged from 1-5. The functional recovery of all flap donor feet was excellent.Conclusions:Simultaneous transplantation of multiple foot flaps is an effective treatment method for repairing defects of varying degrees on the palmar side of multiple fingers, resulting in excellent aesthetic and functional recovery of the affected fingers while causing minimal damage to the donor site.

Objective To screen the anti-Streptococcus pneumoniae(Spn)active ingredients in vitro from different po-lar parts of Pilea peltata,and to examine the combined antibacterial effect of the active ingredient and amoxicillin(AMX).Methods A 96-well plate microdilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)of different polar parts;the most active polar part was separated by preparative high-performance liquid chromatography,and the active ingre-dients were identified using spectral technology.The fractional inhibitory concentration(FIC)of active ingredients and AMX was determined by the 96-well plate chessboard microdilution method.The crystal violet method was used to investigate the effect of ac-tive ingredients on Spn biofilm.The effect of active ingredients on the appearance and morphology of Spn was investigated under the electron microscope.Results The MICs of the petroleum ether part,chloroform part,ethyl acetate part,n-butanol part,and water part were 1.000,1.000,0.500,1.000,and 2.000 mg·mL-1 respectively,among which the ethyl acetate part had the stron-gest antibacterial activity.Three compounds were isolated from ethyl acetate,namely 5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone 1,8-O-(p-coumaroyl)-1(10)E,4(5)E-humuladien-8-ol 2 and 1-O-p-coumaroyl copaborneol 3.These compounds were all isolated for the first time from Pilea peltate,their MICs against Spn were 200.000,50.000,and 25.000 μg·mL-1 respectively,and the compound 3 had the strongest antibacterial activity;the FIC value of AMX and compound 3 was 0.50,which had a synergistic antibacterial effect on Spn.Both AMX and compound 3 had inhibitory effects on Spn biofilm,but the biofilm inhibition rate of compound 3(59.10±1.04%)was significantly lower than AMX(87.38±0.84)%(P<0.01);Moreover,there was no significant difference in biofilm inhibition rate between the combination of the two and AMX(P>0.05).The scanning electron microscope results showed that the bacterial cells in the compound 3 group had a smooth surface but varying degrees of depression.The surface of the bacteri-al cells in the AMX group and the AMX combined compound 3 group showed severe swelling and rupture.Conclusions Fla-vonoids and sesquiterpenoids are both the anti-Spn active components of Pilea peltate.Among them,sesquiterpenoids have more potent antibacterial activity,and their antibacterial action mechanism is related to inhibiting bacterial biofilms.Compound 3 and AMX have a synergistic antibacterial effect on Spn,but its mechanism of action is not by enhancing biofilm inhibition;although compound 3 cannot destroy the cell wall of Spn,it still has a negative impact on the appearance of the bacteria.
