ObjectiveTo explore the clinical characteristics and risk factors for 30-day mortality in hospitalized patients with bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). MethodsData were obtained retrospectively from the electronic medical records of inpatients at a tertiary A-grade hospital in Shanghai from January 2016 to December 2023. The collected variables included age, gender, department, surgical treatment, empirical antibiotic therapy, Pitt Bacteremia score (PBS), Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), INCREMENT-CPE score (ICS), length of hospital stay, the time from CRKP-BSI to discharge and, etc. The follow-up period ended upon discharge, with the follow-up outcomes defined as in-hospital mortality or discharge. The endpoint was defined as death within 30 days (including day 30) caused by CRKP-BSI or infection-related complications. Patients who survived within 30 days after CRKP-BSI were classified into the survival group, while those who died within 30 days were classified into the death group. Independent risk factors for 30-day mortality in patients with CRKP-BSI were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. ResultsA total of 71 hospitalized patients with CRKP-BSI, comprising 51 males and 20 females, with an average age of (65.12±18.25) years, were included during the study period. The M (P₂₅, P₇₅) of hospital stay were 37.00 (24.00, 56.00) days, and M (P₂₅, P₇₅) of the duration from CRKP-BSI to discharge or death were 18.00 (7.00, 35.00) days. There were 20 deaths (28.17%) in the death group and 51 survivors (71.83%) in the survival group. The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the ICS as an independent risk factor for 30-day mortality in CRKP-BSI patients (HR=1.379, 95%CI: 1.137‒1.671, P=0.001). Each 1-point increase in the ICS was associated with a 37.9% increase in the risk of mortality. ConclusionThe ICS is found to be a risk factor for 30-day mortality in patients with CRKP-BSI, which may facilitate the prediction for the risk of 30-day mortality and thereby support clinical decision-making for patients with CRKP-BSI.

AIM:To observe the clinical efficacy of vitrectomy at different times for open ocular trauma and explore the timing of stage Ⅱ vitrectomy.METHODS: Retrospective case series study. A total of 60 cases(60 eyes)with open ocular trauma who visited our ophthalmology department from June 2022 to February 2023 were included. They were divided into treatment group A(interval ≤14 d)and treatment group B(interval >14 d)based on the interval between the stage Ⅰ emergency treatment surgery and the stage Ⅱ vitreoretinal surgery. Among the 32 cases(32 eyes)in the treatment group A, 16 eyes(50%)had eyeball rupture, 13 eyes(41%)had penetrating injury, and 3 eyes(9%)had perforating injury. Among the 28 cases(28 eyes)in the treatment group B, 15 eyes(54%)had eyeball rupture, 12 eyes(43%)had penetrating injury, and one eye(4%)had perforating injury. The two groups of patients were followed-up for 6 mo after surgery, and the treatment effects were compared.RESULTS:There was no statistically significant difference in visual acuity between the two groups of patients before vitrectomy(P>0.05). In the treatment group A, 10 eyes(31%)had significantly improved visual acuity, 21 eyes(66%)had effectively enhanced visual acuity, and 1 eye(3%)had no improvement in visual acuity at 6 mo after surgery. Among the 28 eyes in the treatment group B, 5 eyes(18%)had significantly improved vision, 16 eyes(57%)had effectively enhanced vision, and 7 eyes(25%)had no change in vision, with statistically significant difference between the two groups(U=322.5, P=0.032). There was no significant difference between the treatment group A and the treatment group B in complications such as secondary glaucoma, silicone oil dependence, vitreous hemorrhage, and eyeball atrophy(P>0.05). There was no evidence of traumatic proliferative vitreoretinopathy(TPVR)in the treatment group A during postoperative follow-up, which was significantly lower than that of the treatment group B(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The prognosis of the stage Ⅱ vitrectomy for open ocular injury is relatively good after completing the stage Ⅰ surgery within 2 wk.

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. The prognosis of different stages varies greatly, and its risk staging system is completely based on imaging. Radionuclide imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and staging of various tumors, and it is also of great significance in the early diagnosis and staging of neuroblastoma. At present, imaging agents used for neuroblastoma mainly include catecholamine receptor, glucose metabolism, somatostatin receptor, etc. This article mainly discusses the application value and research progress of these imaging agents in the diagnosis of neuroblastoma.

AIM:To summarize the clinical features and prognostic factors of patients with open ocular trauma in northwest China, and to explore the application of ocular trauma score(OTS)in open ocular trauma.METHODS:The clinical data of 91 patients(91 eyes)with open ocular trauma admitted to Xijing Hospital from June 2021 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The correlation analysis of visual acuity prognosis was carried out by age, treatment time, initial visual acuity, trauma zone and other factors, and the relationship between different OTS and prognostic visual acuity was discussed.RESULTS:Univariate analysis showed that age(0-20 years), treatment time(<24 h), initial visual acuity, trauma zone, trauma type(penetrating injury), anterior chamber hematoma, vitreous hematoma were correlated with prognostic visual acuity(all P<0.1); multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that initial visual acuity and treatment time(<24 h)were risk factors(both P<0.05). There was a significant correlation between different OTS and prognostic visual acuity(rs=0.639,P<0.001).CONCLUSION:Patients with open ocular trauma should be diagnosed and treated as early as possible. The main factors influencing the visual prognosis are age, treatment time, initial visual acuity, trauma zone, trauma type, anterior chamber hematoma and vitreous hematoma. OTS has good application value in visual acuity evaluation of open ocular trauma prognosis.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To investigate the correlation between CpG island methylation levels of human placental genes and spontaneous abortion in pregnant women. Methods A total of 55 pregnant women who underwent routine prenatal examination were selected as the study subjects, including 25 cases of spontaneous abortion (abortion group) and 30 cases of normal delivery (control group). Clinical data and human placental tissue samples were collected from the enrolled pregnant women. Clinical general data of the two groups were compared. The predictive value of methylation levels of related placental genes on the outcome of spontaneous abortion in pregnant women was analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of spontaneous abortion in pregnant women. Results There were statistically significant differences in maternal age, birth weight of aborted fetuses/neonates, days of pregnancy, and gender of aborted fetuses/neonates between the two groups (P < 0.05). Methylation of MECP2-1, MECP2-4, HSD11B2, MECP2-3 and MECP2-2 genes was associated with spontaneous abortion. The methylation rates of MECP2-1, MECP2-4, HSD11B2 and MECP2-3 genes in the abortion group were higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of MECP2-1, MECP2-4, HSD11B2, MECP2-3 and MECP2-2 was 0.773, 0.737, 0.700, 0.663, and 0.627, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that MECP2-1 was an independent influencing factor for miscarriage in pregnant women (P < 0.05). Conclusion The methylation levels of MECP2-1, MECP2-4, HSD11B2, MECP2-3 and MECP2-2 genes are related to the outcome of spontaneous abortion in pregnant women. The MECP2-1 gene is an independent influencing factor for spontaneous abortion.

【Objective】 To investigate the association of maternal medication during early pregnancy and cytochrome P450 (CYP450) genetic polymorphisms with the risk of congenital heart disease (CHD) in offspring. 【Methods】 We selected 127 pregnant women with CHD fetuses as the observation group and 132 pregnant women with non-CHD fetuses as the control group. Their characteristics and medication history were investigated, and CYP450 polymorphisms were detected. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between maternal medication, CYP450 gene variations, and offspring CHD risk. 【Results】 The risk of CHD in offspring was higher in the observation group with maternal use of ovulation induction drugs, antihypertensive drugs, antibiotics, antidepressants, miscarriage prevention drugs, and traditional Chinese medicine (P<0.05). The A/T and T/T genotypes in rs1065852 and the C/G and G/G genotypes in rs16947 increased the risk of CHD in offspring compared to their respective genotypes. The risk of CHDs in offspring increased with the presence of risk genotypes (A/T or T/T) at the rs1065852 locus of the maternal CYP450 gene and early pregnancy medication use (P<0.05); the same was observed for risk genotypes (C/G or G/G) at the rs16947 locus (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Maternal medication during early pregnancy may be associated with offspring CHD, and the rs1065852 and rs16947 loci of CYP450 are significantly related to the risk of CHD in offspring.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the causes of foodborne illness outbreaks in Inner Mongolia, so as to provide reference for understanding systemic risks and formulating prevention and control measures. Methods Data on foodborne disease outbreaks in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from 2016 to 2021 were collected through the "Foodborne Disease Outbreak Monitoring System" for attribution analysis. Results A total of 591 outbreak events were included from 2016 to 2021. Single -dimensional attribution analysis showed that the main causes of foodborne disease outbreaks in this region were vegetables and vegetable products, and meat and meat products, respectively accounting for 20.5% (121/591) and 12.6% (75/591) of the total events. leading contributing factor was improper processing, accounting for 16.2%(96/591), and the main pathogenic factor was toxic plants and their toxins, accounting for 14.9%(88/591). Multi-dimensional attribution analysis showed that the highest number of outbreak events occurred in summer, with 290 cases accounting for 49.1% (290/591) of the total number of events. The eastern, central, and western regions also had the highest number of events in summer, accounting for 53.6% (180/336), 39.5% (60/152), and 48.5% (50/103) of the total number of events in this region, respectively. Among vegetables and vegetable products, improper processing led to the majority of outbreaks caused by toxic plants and their toxins, accounting for 58.7% (71/121) of total events. For meat and meat products, improper storage resulting in the most outbreaks of biological pollution, accounting for 16.0%(12/75) of the total number of meat and meat product incidents. Majorities of death cases were primarily due to accidental ingestion or misuse of non-food items (such as poisonous mushrooms), comprising 38.5% (5/13) of total deaths. Conclusions The main food, triggering factors, and pathogenic factors involved in the outbreak of foodborne diseases in this region are relatively routine and controllable. Therefore, efforts should be made to strengthen public food safety education to reduce the occurrence of foodborne diseases.
