Objective To analyze the rates of drug resistance of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) and extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-E.coli) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of critically ill patients with severe pneumonia and artificial airway and risk factors of CRKP. Methods Patients with severe pneumonia and artificial airway treated in the Center of Emergency and Intensive Care Unit, Jinshan Hospital, Fudan University from May 2022 to May 2025 were selected. Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) and Escherichia coli (E.coli) isolated and cultured from BALF of these patients were analyzed. The drug resistance rates of the two bacteria were compared. The multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze related risk factors for CRKP infection. Results A total of 384 patients were included, and 384 strains were cultured, including 330 strains (85.9%) of K. pneumoniae and 54 strains (14.1%) of E.coli. The infection rate of K. pneumoniae was higher. Compared with E.coli, the drug-resistant gene expression rate of K. pneumoniae was lower (37.3% vs 57.4%, P<0.01). The resistance rates of CRKP to cefotaxime, cefepime, aztreonam, and imipenem were higher than those of ESBL-E.coli (P<0.003). Both CRKP and ESBL-E.coli had high sensitivity to polymyxin and tigecycline. Multivariate logistic regression showed duration of mechanical ventilation ≥ 7 days, and combination of ≥ 2 antibiotics for over 7 days were independent risk factors for CRKP infection (P<0.01). Conclusions For patients with severe pneumonia and artificial airway in ICU, K. pneumoniae is the main bacterial infection. CRKP and ESBL-E.coli in BALF exhibit different degrees of drug resistance to various antibacterial agents, both have the characteristic of multidrug resistance, and are sensitive to polymyxin and tigecycline. Prevention and control of risk factors related to CRKP should be formulated particularly.

Background:
To investigate directional deviations between pilot holes and final pedicle screw trajectories in freehand placement and analyze risk factors for misplacement. While pedicle screws are widely used in thoracolumbosacral surgery, directional deviations between pilot holes and final screw trajectories remain understudied as potential risk factors for misplacement.
Methods:
Thirty-three patients undergoing posterior fixation were prospectively enrolled. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) tracked the spatial positions of pedicle finders and screwdrivers via custom software. Surgeons (n = 6) were stratified into senior, middle, and junior groups. Analyzed variables included the use of tapping, surgeon experience, spinal deformity status, screw tip morphology, and surgical parameters.
Results:
Among 198 implanted screws (6.00 ± 2.88/patient), all exhibited trajectory deviations (8.12° ± 3.47°). Tapping significantly reduced deviations (7.23° ± 3.23° vs. 8.87° ± 3.31°, p < 0.01). Senior surgeons achieved smaller deviations (7.34° ± 3.33°) than the middle group (8.60° ± 3.51°, p = 0.039) and junior group (8.68° ± 3.49°, p = 0.022). Multivariate analysis confirmed tapping (p = 0.001) and senior experience (p = 0.023) as protective factors. No significant associations emerged for spinal deformity (8.43° ± 3.73° vs. 7.97° ± 3.35°, p = 0.377), screw tip type (cylindrical, 8.43° ± 3.26° vs. tapered, 8.07 ± 3.51°; p = 0.637), obesity, or surgical position parameters.
Conclusions
Freehand pedicle screw placement consistently produces trajectory deviations from pilot holes, and surgeon experience and tapping are modifiable protective factors. The IMU-based tracking system enables quantitative surgical motion analysis, suggesting its utility for training optimization and technique standardization.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of mechanical pressure regulation on the migration and bone-promoting ability of suture dural cells (S-DCs) and non-suture dural cells (NS-DCs). MethodsDural cells (S-DCs), non-cranial suture dural cells (NS-DCs) and cranial suture mesenchymal stem cells (CS-MSCs) of 5-day-old SD rats were isolated and cultured. Four experimental conditions, namely S-DCs-Normal, S-DCs-Stress, NS-DCs-Normal and NS-DCs-Stress, were set according to the source of the cells and whether mechanical pressure (1.07 kPa, 24 hours) was applied. The migration ability of dural cells was detected by cell scratch test. Four experimental condition culture media were collected and co-cultured with CS-MSCs for osteogenic induction. Calcium salt deposition was detected by alizarin red staining, and the expression of osteogenesis-related proteins was detected by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the Normal group, the migration abilities of both S-DCs and NS-DCs decreased after Stress treatment (P<0.05). Compared with S-DCs, NS-DCs has a weaker migration ability under the same processing conditions (P<0.05). The conditioned medium experiment showed that Stress treatment reduced the osteogenic ability of CS-MSCs (P<0.05), and the osteogenic effect of the conditioned medium derived from NS-DCs was weaker than that of S-DCs (P<0.05). The Western blot results were consistent with the trend of alizarin red staining. Both Stress treatment and NS-DCs sources could down-regulate the expression of osteogenesis-related proteins (P<0.05). ConclusionMechanical stress can significantly inhibit the migration of dural cells and the osteogenic differentiation process of CS-MSCs mediated by it. The mechanical tolerance and osteogenic regulation ability of S-DCs are significantly better than those of NS-DCs.
