Objective To evaluate the effect of different doses of esketamine combined with propofol medium and long chain fat emulsion in painless gastroenteroscopy.Methods 144 patients who were scheduled to receive painless gastroenteroscopy from January 2022 to December 2023 were randomly divided into four groups with 36 cases in each group.The load dose of esketamine in group A,group B and group C was 0.2,0.3 and 0.4 mg/kg respectively,and group D was treated with equivalent normal saline instead of esketamine as the control.All the patients were administrated with propofol medium and long chain fat emulsion during the examination.Heart rate(HR),mean arterial pressure(MAP)and percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation(SpO2)were recorded immediately after electrocardiograph monitoring was established(T0),immediately before examination(T1),immediately after gastroscopy placement(T2),immediately before colonoscopy(T3),immediately after colonoscopy implantation(T4)and immediately after examination(T5).The dosage of propofol medium and long chain fat emulsion,recovery time and discharge time were compared among the four groups.Patients were assessed with quality of recovery-40 questionnaire(QoR-40)at T0 and at wake time(T6).The adverse reactions of the four groups were compared.Results There were statistically significant differences in the temporal effects of HR,MAP and SpO2 among the 4 groups(F=3.91,21.65,6.17,P＜0.05);There were statistically significant differences in the intergroup effects of HR,MAP and SpO2 among the 4 groups(F=14.57,7.14,30.34,P＜0.05).The variation trend of SpO2 in groups A,B,C and D was statistically significant(F=2.88,P＜0.05).The first and total dosage of propofol medium and long chain fat emulsion,and the recovery time of the four groups were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The initial dosage and total dosage of propofol medium and long chain fat emulsion in group A,group B and group C were significantly lower than those in group D(P＜0.05),and group B and group C were significantly lower than group A(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between group B and group C(P＞0.05).The recovery time of group A and group B were significantly shorter than that of group C and group D(P＜0.05),and group C was significantly longer than that of group D(P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference between group A and group B(P＞0.05).There was no significant difference in the time of get discharged from the hospital among the four groups(P＞0.05).The total scores of QoR-40 in four group at T6 were significantly lower than those at T0 respectively(P＜0.05).T6 QoR-40 total score:group B was significantly higher than group A,Group C and group D(P＜0.05),group A and group C were significantly higher than group D(P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference between group A and group C(P＞0.05).There were significant differences in the incidence of hypoxemia,hypotension,bradycardia,tachycardia,body movement and dizziness among the four groups(P＜0.05).The incidence of hypoxemia,hypotension and bradycardia in group B and group C was significantly lower than that in group D(P＜0.083),and the incidence of dizziness in group C was significantly higher than that in group D(P＜0.0083).Among them,1 case in group A and 3 cases in group D needed mask pressure ventilation due to hypoxemia.There was no significant difference in the incidence of nausea and vomiting among the four groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion During painless gastroenteroscopy,the application of 0.3 mg/kg esketamine combined with propofol medium and long chain fat emulsion can help maintain the hemodynamic stability,alleviate the respiratory and circulatory inhibition caused by propofol medium and long chain fat emulsion,accelerate recovery,and reduce adverse reactions in patients.

Objective To understand the pathogenic bacteria from children with vulvovaginitis and their antimi-crobial resistance.Methods Clinical data of children with vulvovaginitis and positive bacterial culture of vaginal se-cretion from Beijing Children's Hospital from January 1,2016 to December 31,2023 were analyzed retrospectively.Results Among 3 249 children with vulvovaginitis,a total of 3 389 pathogenic bacteria strains were detected,inclu-ding 1 730 strains of Gram-negative bacteria and 1 659 strains of Gram-positive bacteria,accounting for 51.05％and 48.95％,respectively.The top 5 detected pathogens were Haemophilus in fluenzae(n=1 201,35.44％),Strep-tococcus pyogenes(Group A)(n=694,20.48％),Staphylococcus aureus(n=375,11.06％),Streptococcus aga-lactiae(Group B)(n=183,5.40％),and Haemophilus parainfluenzae(n=179,5.28％).Among the isolated pathogens in pediatric patients across different age groups,Haemophilus in fluenzae accounted for 46.18％in chil-dren＜7 years old,Streptococcus pyogenes(Group A)and Haemophilus in fluenzae accounted for 27.08％and 25.86％respectively in children aged 7-11 years old,Streptococcus agalactiae(Group B)and Staphylococcus au-reus accounted for 31.50％and 18.11％respectively in children＞11-18 years old.The pathogens detected varied in different seasons.Among Gram-positive bacteria,Streptococcus pyogenes(Group A)had higher resistance rates to erythromycin and clindamycin,which were 93.52％and 92.94％,respectively.Among Gram-negative bacteria,Haemophilus in fluenzae had higher resistance rates to ampicillin,compound sulfamethoxazole,cefaclor,and cefu-roxime(all＞34％).648 Haemophilus in fluenzae strains(53.96％)and 40 Haemophilus parain fluenzae strains(22.35％)produced β-lactamase.Conclusion The common pathogenic bacteria causing infectious vulvovaginitis in children are Haemophilus in fluenzae,Streptococcus pyogenes(Group A),and Staphylococcus aureus.The detec-tion rate of β-lactamase in Haemophilus influenzae is high.Understanding the pathogen detection and antimicrobial resistance status in hospitals can provide basis for clinician's empirical and rational selection of antimicrobial agents.

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.
