Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of intraosseous regional administration (IORA) of vancomycin for preventing infection in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:A total of 124 patients with knee osteoarthritis undergoing TKA between February 2024 and May 2024 at nine hospitals were enrolled. Preoperative infection prophylaxis involved either IORA (0.5 g vancomycin administered via intraosseous regional infusion before incision) or intravenous infusion (1 g vancomycin via peripheral vein). The IORA group included 15 males and 47 females with a median age of 66.5 years (range, 60.0-70.0 years), while the intravenous group included 14 males and 48 females with a median age of 66.0 years (range, 61.8-70.3 years) years. Intraoperative samples were collected including fat and synovium tissues after incision, before prosthesis placement, and after tourniquet release; distal femoral cancellous bone during femoral osteotomy; proximal tibial cancellous bone during tibial osteotomy; proximal intercondylar cancellous bone before prosthesis placement; and peripheral blood from non-infused arms at surgery initiation and after tourniquet release. Vancomycin concentrations were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Vital sign changes were recorded from admission to 5~10 minutes post-IORA (IORA group) or post-incision (intravenous group). Follow-ups were conducted on postoperative day 1 and 3, and at 1 and 3 months, to document complications including IORA-related adverse events, periprosthetic joint infections, surgical site infections, red man syndrome, acute kidney injury, deep vein thrombosis and so on.Results:Vancomycin concentrations in bone, fat, and synovial tissue samples were significantly higher in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05), while vancomycin concentrations in blood samples were significantly lower in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05). Only 7.3%(41/558) of tissue samples in the IORA group had vancomycin concentrations below 2.0 μg/g (the minimum inhibitory concentration of vancomycin against coagulase-negative staphylococcus), compared to 59.3%(331/558) in the intravenous group (χ 2=11.285, P<0.001). In the intravenous group, 16.9%(21/124) of blood samples had vancomycin concentrations exceeding 15.0 mg/L (the threshold associated with a significantly increased risk of nephrotoxicity), while all concentrations in the IORA group were below this threshold, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=22.943, P<0.001). There were no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05) in vital signs changes before and after vancomycin administration between the two groups. Two patients in the intravenous group experienced incision exudate, while no other related complications occurred in either group. Conclusions:Compared to the traditional intravenous infusion of 1 g vancomycin, intraosseous injection of a low dose (0.5 g) of vancomycin achieves higher local tissue concentrations in the knee joint with a lower incidence of adverse reactions and is safe for infection prophylaxis. Despite guidelines not recommending the routine use of vancomycin for preventing infection after primary TKA, intraosseous injection of 0.5 g vancomycin may be considered intraoperatively for primary TKA in the following scenarios: patients in medical institutions with a high prevalence of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections, patients with potential preoperative MRSA colonization, or patients with cephalosporin allergy.

Objective There are so many tongue diagnosis features that need to be analyzed in Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM),including tongue color,coating color,tongue morphology,and tongue dynamics,with about 30 different categories.Different tongue diagnosis features are often analyzed by individual methods,which fails to fully utilize the correlation between diagnostic features and greatly increases the overall implementation complexity of the TCM analysis system.Methods Therefore,in this paper,a TCM tongue color and coating color collaborative classification method based on relation network has been proposed.Firstly,a dual branch lightweight convolutional neural network has been constructed.By designing low and high layer feature fusion modules and combining Coordinate Attention mechanism,high classification accuracy can be achieved with lower model complexity.Secondly,a network for the tongue color and coating color relationship leaning has been designed to model the correlation between the two labels.By the network,the nonlinear information can be learned,which is used as a supplement for collaborative classification.Results The experimental results on two self-established TCM tongue diagnosis feature analysis datasets show that,the accuracy of tongue color classification reaches 95.17%and 93.67%respectively,while that of coating color classification reaches 91.11%and 90.53%respectively.Conclusion The proposed collaborative classification method can improve the classification accuracy of the two tasks,but simultaneously,the overall model complexity is reduced by almost half.

Objective Patients with chronic liver diseases often exhibit unique hemodynamic abnormalities and metabolic disorders.Postoperative fluid management presents numerous challenges,especially for critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit(ICU)after surgery.This study aimed at exploring the relationship between postoperative fluid therapy and prognosis.Methods Based on 2 414 patients with chronic liver diseases who underwent surgical treatment and were subsequently transferred to the ICU in the MIMIC-IV database,a retrospective cohort study was conducted on the final 2 143 patients after our inclusion and exclusion criteria.Multivariate adjusted logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between fluid therapeutic regimens on the first day after ICU admission and the risk of 7-day death after surgery.Restricted cubic spline(RCS)was applied to analyze the dose-response relationship.Results Multivariate analysis indicated that restrictive fluid resuscitation was an independent protective factor.Compared with the non-restrictive fluid resuscitation group,restrictive fluid resuscitation significantly reduced the 7-day postoperative mortality rate(6.4％vs 12.4％,OR=0.44,95％CI:0.22～0.88,P=0.021),decreased the use of mechanical ventilation(42.9％vs 72.3％,OR=0.29,95％CI:0.24～0.35,P<0.001),and shortened the ICU stay(1.86 vs 3.47 d,OR=0.81,95％CI:0.78～0.84,P<0.001).RCS curve showed that the fluid intake on the first postoperative day and the 7-day postoperative mortality risk presented a J-shaped curve relationship,with an inflection point at 1 850 mL.Beyond this threshold,the 7-day postoperative mortality risk was increased.Subgroup analysis results indicated that the protective effect of restrictive fluid resuscitation was consistent across different age and comorbidity groups.Conclusion For patients with chronic liver diseases,adopting a restrictive fluid therapy on the first day after surgery can effectively reduce the risk of short-term death.Moreover,there is a non-linear dose-effect relationship between the fluid intake and the 7-day mortality risk.When the fluid intake exceeds 1 850 mL,the risk of death significantly increases.

Hypochlorous acid/hypochlorite(HClO/ClO-)plays a key role in biological processes and is commonly used as a disinfectant in drinking water.However,excessive intake of HClO/ClO-can oxidize biomolecules like DNA,RNA,and proteins,causing organ damage.Diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's disease can also lead to overproduction of HClO/ClO-.Therefore,accurately detecting HClO/ClO-levels is crucial.In this study,an HClO/ClO-fluorescent probe,NC-TPA-PPh3,was designed and synthesized,with a triphenylamine core as the fluorescent unit,carbon-carbon double bonds as recognition sites,and a quaternary ammonium salt for mitochondria targeting,forming a D-π-A structure.This probe had a fluorescence lifetime of 3.71 ns and a fluorescence quantum yield of 0.51.Upon exposure to HClO/ClO-,the maximum fluorescence emission wavelength of the probe in DMSO/H2O(9∶1,V/V,pH=7.4)solution(20 μmol/L)shifted from 550 nm to 430 nm,with a fluorescence intensity increase of 35.7 times compared to blank probe solution,allowing for selective recognition of HClO/ClO-.The probe also exhibited a large Stokes shift(130 nm)and a low limit of detection(LOD)of 9.16×10-8 mol/L.Based on characterization by proton nuclear magnetic resonance(1H NMR),electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry(ESI-MS),scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and theoretical calculations,it was speculated that NC-TPA-PPh3 recognized HClO/ClO-through oxidative cleavage of the C=C bond in the probe,generating TPA-CHO with lower water solubility and a smaller conjugated structure.This disrupted the D-π-A structure,blocking intramolecular charge transfer(ICT),causing the fluorescence emission peak to blue-shift from 550 nm to 430 nm.Additionally,this process induced an aggregation-induced fluorescence effect,significantly enhancing the fluorescence intensity at 430 nm.

Aim To investigate the effect of Brusatol a-gainst small cell lung cancer(SCLC)and its potential mechanism.Methods CCK-8 assay and flow cytome-try were used to detect the cytotoxic effect of Brusatol on SCLC cells.Western blot was employed to measure the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins,in-cluding cleaved poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase(cleaved-PARP),B-cell lymphoma 2(Bcl-2)and Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax).Network pharma-cology databases were utilized to identify common tar-gets of Brusatol,SCLC,and apoptosis.Kyoto Encyclo-pedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)and Gene On-tology(GO)enrichment analyses were performed on the intersecting genes.Molecular docking simulations between Brusatol and core targets were conducted using the CB-DOCK2 online platform to calculate binding en-ergies and sites.Western blot was further applied to detect the expression levels of signal transducer and ac-tivator of transcription 3(STAT3)and phosphorylated-STAT3(p-STAT3).Results Brusatol inhibited SCLC cell growth and induced apoptosis,significantly downregulating Bcl-2 and cleaved-PARP while upregu-lating Bax expression(P＜0.05).Network pharma-cology analysis revealed 108 common targets of Brusa-tol and SCLC,with the top three core targets being ep-idermal growth factor receptor(EGFR),STAT3,and tumor necrosis factor(TNF).Molecular docking re-sults indicated strong binding affinity between bruceine D and these core targets.Western blot validation con-firmed that bruceine D suppressed the expression of STAT3 and p-STAT3.Conclusion Brusatol exerts anti-SCLC effects by inhibiting STAT3 to induce apop-tosis in SCLC cells.

Objective:To explore brain MRI features of methylmalonic acidemia (MMA).Methods:This observational study retrospectively analyzed the clinical and imaging data of 123 patients with MMA diagnosed at Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University and Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 2010 to November 2022. The 123 patients were divided into 7 stages according to age of onset, neonatal period (0 to<1 month), infancy (1 month to<1 year), early childhood (1 to<4 years), preschool (4 to<7 years), school age (7 to<13 years), adolescent (13 to 17 years) and adult (>17 years). All patients underwent brain MRI scanning. The imaging performances were evaluated, including the number, location, morphology of the lesions.Results:Of the 123 patients, 40 were in the neonatal period, 29 in infancy, 13 in early childhood, 9 in preschool, 6 in school age, 13 in adolescence, and 13 in adulthood. The first symptoms of patients in the neonatal period were mainly digestive system abnormalities, such as difficulty in breastfeeding (37.5%, 15/40) and vomiting (25.0%, 10/40), with neurological symptoms gradually becoming the main manifestations from infancy. Seventy-three cases (59.3%) showed significant abnormalities on cranial MRI, including 17 cases with 33 foci in the neonatal period, 23 cases with 53 foci in infancy, 11 cases with 16 foci in early childhood, 2 cases with 2 foci in preschool, 3 cases with 7 foci in school age, 7 cases with 9 foci in adolescence, and 10 cases with 16 foci in adulthood. In neonatal period, the main manifestations were myelin dysplasia (18%,6/33), dilatation of the lateral ventricular system (18%,6/33), and pallidal bulb infarct foci (18%,6/33); in infancy, the main manifestations were hypoplasia or thinning of the corpus callosum (30%,16/53); in early childhood, the main manifestations were pallidal bulb infarct foci (38%,6/16); and the two MRI abnormalities in preschool were pallidum and thalamic infarct foci; in school age, the main manifestations were infarct foci in the chiasmatic nucleus (29%,2/7) and in the caudate nucleus (29%,2/7); in adolescence, the main manifestation was dilatation of the lateral ventricular system (33%,3/9); and in adulthood, the main manifestation was dilatation of the lateral ventricular system (19%,3/16).Conclusion:By staging the age of onset, it is found that the imaging manifestations of MMA patients show significant differences with age, suggesting that there is a dynamic nature of MMA damage to brain structures at different developmental stages.
