OBJECTIVE To establish the graded management standards for off-label use of Shenqi fuzheng injection. METHODS Systematic searches were conducted in databases including CNKI， PubMed and the Cochrane Library to retrieve guidelines/consensuses， systematic reviews/meta-analyses， and randomized controlled trials （RCTs） of Shenqi fuzheng injection. The quality of evidence was evaluated using AGREE Ⅱ， AMSTAR Ⅱ， and the Risk of Bias 1.0 tool recommended by Cochrane Collaboration， and the graded management standard for off-label use of Shenqi fuzheng injection was developed by using the Thomson grading system. RESULTS A total of 534 articles were involved， including 11 guidelines， 22 systematic reviews/meta-analysis， and 501 RCTs. They covered 79 off-label indications for Shenqi fuzheng injection： cancer-related fatigue， colorectal cancer and breast cancer， all with high-quality evidence were classified under grade A management （grade Ⅰ commendation）， allowing all physicians across the hospital to prescribe relevant treatments； five diseases， such as ovarian cancer， liver cancer， leukemia， heart failure and cerebral infarction， were classified under grade B management （grade Ⅱa commendation）， with prescription restricted to physicians with intermediate or higher professional titles in specific departments； eleven diseases， including sepsis， cervical cancer， esophageal cancer， etc.， were classified under grade C management （grade Ⅱb commendation）， requiring strict evaluation by senior physicians before prescription； the use of Shenqi fuzheng injection for other conditions was explicitly prohibited due to a lack of sufficient evidence. CONCLUSIONS Off-label use of Shenqi fuzheng injection is prevalent. The graded management standard established by evidence-based medical approach provides a scientific basis for standardizing the clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine injections and offers an operable paradigm for implementing differentiated drug use supervision in medical institutions.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections have emerged as a serious challenge of global public health crisis. The overuse and misuse of conventional antibiotics have dramatically accelerated the emergence, evolution and worldwide spread of drug-resistant bacterial strains, necessitating urgent exploration of novel antibacterial strategies. Bacteriophages serve as natural bacterial predators offering distinct advantages including high host specificity, autonomous self-replication capabilities and cost-effective large-scale production. However, wild-type phages present significant clinical limitations due to their narrow host ranges, susceptibility to rapid immune clearance and poor penetration of bacterial biofilms, which severely restrict their therapeutic applications. The convergence of synthetic biology, nanotechnology and advanced gene editing technologies has accelerated the development of engineered bacteriophage platforms, providing programmable, scalable and clinically translatable pathways to overcome these inherent biological constraints. Here, we systematically delineate four fundamental strategies for engineered bacteriophage development. Chemical modification utilizes reactive functional groups such as amino, carboxyl and thiol moieties on capsid proteins through esterification, amidation or click chemistry reactions to achieve precise drug conjugation and surface functionalization. In vivo editing encompasses ultraviolet or chemical mutagenesis for random mutation induction, homologous recombination for targeted genetic alterations, recombineering methodologies including electroporation-mediated bacteriophage recombination engineering, and CRISPR-Cas systems for precise genome editing to enable exact genetic reconstruction and host range reprogramming. In vitro synthesis leverages genome engineering platforms where intact phage genomes are transferred into yeast or host bacteria to facilitate highly efficient homologous recombination, enabling large DNA fragment assembly and cross-gene host range expansion without bacterial toxicity constraints. Directed evolution combines artificial selection through mutation library screening with rational design approaches involving chimeric receptor binding protein construction or site-specific mutagenesis, effectively balancing the discovery of unknown adaptive pathways with targeted host specificity modification. Moreover, we comprehensively discuss therapeutic applications across diverse clinical scenarios. Engineered bacteriophage effectively disrupt bacterial biofilms through sophisticated functionalized delivery platforms including nanozyme-conjugated phages, phage-liposome nanoconjugates and bio-responsive hydrogels, demonstrating significantly enhanced bactericidal efficiency compared to unmodified free phages. These bioengineered vectors attenuate bacterial virulence and resensitize pathogens to antibiotics by delivering CRISPR-Cas systems or base editors to disrupt critical virulence factors such as pili, capsule synthesis machineries and quorum sensing systems, or by inactivating antibiotic resistance determinants including beta-lactamase genes. As an intelligent nanomedicine delivery platform, engineered bacteriophage enable precise pathogen elimination an through photocatalytic reactive oxygen species generation, immunomodulatory interventions, or controlled release of antibacterial drugs. Furthermore, oral administration of engineered bacteriophage facilitates microbiota modulation, which selectively eliminate intestinal pathogens while preserve beneficial commensal microbiota, thereby restoring microbial community balance and preventing complications associated with dysbiosis. Finally, we critically analyze persistent challenges including host strain matching complexity, evolution of bacterial resistance mechanisms, pharmacokinetic optimization requirements, optimal administration route selection, large-scale production quality control standards and clinical dosing determination protocols. Through multidisciplinary integration of synthetic biology, infectious disease medicine and immunology, future translational medicine studies of bacteriophage should establish comprehensive technical platforms encompassing rapid phage screening, intelligent rational design, rigorous in vivo evaluation and standardized clinical validation processes, ultimately advancing engineered bacteriophage from laboratory innovations to clinically approved therapeutics for effectively combating MDR bacterial infections.

Objective In order to understand the current resistance status of Aedes albopictus(Ae. albopictus) adult population to commonly used insecticides and the resistance dynamics development in Zhejiang Province and provide a theoretical basis for the scientific and rational use of hygienic insecticides. Methods Resistance determination was carried out using the diagnostic dose method(GB/T 26347-2010)recommended by WHO in the adult mosquito contact cylinder method to monitor the resistance of Ae. albopictus field populations in 11 cities and districts in Zhejiang Province in 2024. Results The monitoring result showed that adult Ae. albopictus in 11 areas were resistant or suspected resistant populations to both cis-cypermethrin and permethrin; suspected and resistant populations to the organophosphate insecticide malathion were as high as 81.82%; while suspected resistance to the carbamate insecticide residual carbofuran accounted for 45.45%, and the rest of the monitoring sites were sensitive to it. Conclusions The result suggest that the generalized resistance of Ae. albopictus populations to pyrethroids and organophosphorus insecticides in the field in Zhejiang Province needs to be highly emphasized. In future mosquito vector and mosquito-borne disease control, insecticides should be selected based on the resistance monitoring information, while following scientific guidelines for insecticide use.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of Shuganning injection in the treatment of liver injury by observing the clinical outcome of patients with liver injury after treatment with Shuganning injection and comparing it with reduced glutathione （GSH）. MethodsThis study was conducted among 175 patients with liver injury who attended 6 hospitals in China （Beijing YouAn Hospital， Capital Medical University； Nanyang First People’s Hospital； The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University； The Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital； The Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University； The Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University） from April 25， 2019 to February 28， 2022. The patients were divided into experimental group （89 patients treated with Shuganning injection） and control group （86 patients treated with GSH）， and the course of treatment was 4 weeks for both groups. Related indicators were recorded before treatment， after treatment， and after drug withdrawal for 8 weeks， including liver function parameters， blood biochemical parameters， blood lipids， coagulation profiles， liver fibrosis markers， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome score， and ultrasound findings， as well as adverse events during treatment. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups， and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for comparison of observation indicators before treatment， at week 4 of treatment， and after drug withdrawal for 8 weeks. When the efficacy evaluation of TCM syndromes was used as the outcome， a pooled analysis was performed for the effective cases and the markedly effective cases， and a Logistic regression model was used to calculate the odds ratio （OR） and its 95%CI. ResultsAfter 4 weeks of treatment with Shuganning injection， the patients showed significant reductions in TCM syndrome score （P<0.001） and the levels of aspartate aminotransferase， alanine aminotransferase， total bilirubin， and direct bilirubin （all P<0.001） and a significant increase in the level of albumin （P=0.002）， and these significant improvements persisted after drug withdrawal for 8 weeks. Furthermore， compared with the control group， the experimental group had a significantly higher proportion of patients assessed as effective or markedly effective cases （48.31% vs 32.56%， P=0.033）. Compared with the control group， the experimental group had a significantly greater change in TCM syndrome score at weeks 1-4 of treatment and after drug withdrawal for 8 weeks （P<0.05）. At week 4 of treatment， the experimental group had a significantly greater reduction in alanine aminotransferase than the control group （P<0.05）， and at week 8 after drug withdrawal， the experimental group had a significantly greater reduction in alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase than the control group （all P<0.05）. One patient in the experimental group （1.12%） experienced an adverse event， which was determined to be associated with the progression of viral hepatitis. ConclusionShuganning injection can effectively improve liver injury， with good long-term efficacy and a low incidence rate of adverse reactions.

Objective To summarize the changing prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Enterobacterales based on the data of CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021 for improving antimicrobial treatment in clinical practice.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using a commercial automated susceptibility testing system according to the unified CHINET protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints of the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)M100 31st ed in 2021.Results Over the seven-year period(2015-2021),the overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE)was 9.43％(62 342/661 235).The prevalence of CRE strains in Klebsiella pneumoniae,Citrobacter freundii,and Enterobacter cloacae was 22.38％,9.73％,and 8.47％,respectively.The prevalence of CRE strains in Escherichia coli was 1.99％.A few CRE strains were also identified in Salmonella and Shigella.The CRE strains were mainly isolated from respiratory specimens(44.23±2.80)％,followed by blood(20.88±3.40)％and urine(18.40±3.45)％.Intensive care units(ICUs)were the major source of the CRE strains(27.43±5.20)％.CRE strains were resistant to all the β-lactam antibiotics tested and most non-β-lactam antimicrobial agents.The CRE strains were relatively susceptible to tigecycline and polymyxins with low resistance rates.Conclusions The prevalence of CRE strains was increasing from 2015 to 2021.CRE strains were highly resistant to most of the antibacterial drugs used in clinical practice.Clinicians should prescribe antimicrobial agents rationally.Hospitals should strengthen antibiotic stewardship in key clinical settings such as ICUs,and take effective infection control measures to curb CRE outbreak and epidemic in hospitals.

Objective To characterize the changing species distribution and antibiotic resistance profiles of respiratory isolates in hospitals participating in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021.Methods Commercial automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems and disk diffusion method were used to test the susceptibility of respiratory bacterial isolates to antimicrobial agents following the standardized technical protocol established by the CHINET program.Results A total of 589 746 respiratory isolates were collected from 2015 to 2021.Overall,82.6％of the isolates were Gram-negative bacteria and 17.4％were Gram-positive bacteria.The bacterial isolates from outpatients and inpatients accounted for(6.0±0.9)％and(94.0±0.1)％,respectively.The top microorganisms were Klebsiella spp.,Acinetobacter spp.,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Staphylococcus aureus,Haemophilus spp.,Stenotrophomonas maltophilia,Escherichia coli,and Streptococcus pneumoniae.Each microorganism was isolated from significantly more males than from females(P＜0.05).The overall prevalence of methicillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA)was 39.9％.The prevalence of penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae was 1.4％.The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase(ESBL)-producing E.coli and K.pneumoniae was 67.8％and 41.3％,respectively.The overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant E.coli,K.pneumoniae,Enterobacter cloacae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and Acinetobacter baumannii was 3.7％,20.8％,9.4％,29.8％,and 73.3％,respectively.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 96.1％in Moraxella catarrhalis and 60.0％in Haemophilus influenzae.The H.influenzae isolates from children(＜18 years)showed significantly higher resistance rates to β-lactam antibiotics than the isolates from adults(P＜0.05).Conclusions Gram-negative bacteria are still predominant in respiratory isolates associated with serious antibiotic resistance.Antimicrobial resistance surveillance should be strengthened in clinical practice to support accurate etiological diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial therapy based on antimicrobial susceptibility testing results.

Objectives:To assess the effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) on electrocardiographic remodeling in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), and identify its influencing factors.Methods:A cohort study was conducted on patients with a confirmed diagnosis of severe AS who successfully underwent TAVR at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University between June 2018 and March 2023. Data, including standard 15-lead electrocardiograms and echocardiograms, were collected before the operation, 1 week after the operation, and 3 months after the operation. The average degree of ST-segment depression in the lateral wall leads of the electrocardiograms, and the amplitude of the T-wave were measured and calculated. The changes of electrocardiograms indexes were observed, and Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between each index of electrocardiograms and each index of echocardiography. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the influencing factors of the improvement of electrocardiographic remodeling in patients with severe AS after TAVR.Results:A total of 33 patients with severe AS, aged (73±9) years, were included in the study. Among them there were 15 (45%) males. The degree of ST-segment depression, supra-aortic flow velocity, peak transaortic pressure, and mean transaortic pressure exhibited significant improvement at 1 week post-TAVR (all P<0.05). Similarly, significant improvements in T-wave hypoplasia or inversion, left ventricular mass, and left ventricular mass index were observed at 3 months post-TAVR (all P<0.05). The degree of ST-segment depression was found to be correlated with supra-aortic flow velocity, peak transaortic pressure, and mean transaortic pressure (all P<0.05). Additionally, a correlation was observed between T-wave amplitude and left ventricular mass, left ventricular mass index, left ventricular end-diastolic internal diameter, and left ventricular ejection fraction (all P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that supra-aortic flow velocity was an independent influencing factor of the level of ST-segment depression ( β=-0.156, P=0.007), while left ventricular mass index was identified as an independent influencing factor of T-wave amplitude ( β=-2.007, P=0.001). Conclusion:The improvement in electrocardiographic remodeling could be observed after TAVR in patients with severe AS, which may be due to enhanced cardiac perfusion and regression of left ventricular hypertrophy subsequent to aortic valve opening.
