Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-negative bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of national bloodstream infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period，9 035 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 51 hospitals，of which 7 895（87.4%）were Enterobacteriaceae and 1 140（12.6%）were non-fermenting bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli（ n=4 510，49.9%）， Klebsiella pneumoniae（ n=2 340，25.9%）， Pseudomonas aeruginosa（ n=534，5.9%）， Acinetobacter baumannii complex（ n=405，4.5%）and Enterobacter cloacae（ n=327，3.6%）. The ESBLs-producing rates in Escherichia coli， Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus spp. were 47.1%（2 095/4 452），21.0%（427/2 033）and 41.1%（58/141），respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli（CREC）and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae（CRKP）were 1.3%（58/4 510）and 13.1%（307/2 340）；62.1%（36/58）and 9.8%（30/307）of CREC and CRKP were resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam combination，respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii（CRAB）complex was 59.5%（241/405），while less than 5% of Acinetobacter baumannii complex was resistant to tigecycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa（CRPA）was 18.4%（98/534）. There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of main Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions，with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CRKP and CRPA（ χ2=20.489 and 20.252， P<0.001）. The prevalence of CREC，CRKP，CRPA，CRAB，ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were higher in provinicial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=11.953，81.183，10.404，5.915，12.415 and 6.459， P<0.01 or <0.05），while the prevalence of CRPA was higher in economically developed regions（per capita GDP ≥ 92 059 Yuan）than that in economically less-developed regions（per capita GDP <92 059 Yuan）（ χ2=6.240， P=0.012）. Conclusions:The proportion of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections shows an increasing trend，and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top，while the trend of CRKP decreases continuously with time. Decreasing trends are noted in ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Low prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Escherichia coli and high prevalence in CRAB complex have been observed. The composition ratio and antibacterial spectrum of bloodstream infections in different regions of China are slightly different，and the proportion of main drug resistant bacteria in provincial hospitals is higher than those in municipal hospitals.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-positive bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-positive bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:A total of 3 163 strains of Gram-positive pathogens were collected from 51 member units，and the top five bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus（ n=1 147，36.3%），coagulase-negative Staphylococci（ n=928，29.3%）， Enterococcus faecalis（ n=369，11.7%）， Enterococcus faecium（ n=296，9.4%）and alpha-hemolyticus Streptococci（ n=192，6.1%）. The detection rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus（MRSA）and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci（MRCNS）were 26.4%（303/1 147）and 66.7%（619/928），respectively. No glycopeptide and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci were detected. The sensitivity rates of Staphylococcus aureus to cefpirome，rifampin，compound sulfamethoxazole，linezolid，minocycline and tigecycline were all >95.0%. Enterococcus faecium was more prevalent than Enterococcus faecalis. The resistance rates of Enterococcus faecium to vancomycin and teicoplanin were both 0.5%（2/369），and no vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium was detected. The detection rate of MRSA in southern China was significantly lower than that in other regions（ χ2=14.578， P=0.002），while the detection rate of MRCNS in northern China was significantly higher than that in other regions（ χ2=15.195， P=0.002）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in provincial hospitals were higher than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=13.519 and 12.136， P<0.001）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in economically more advanced regions（per capita GDP≥92 059 Yuan in 2022）were higher than those in economically less advanced regions（per capita GDP<92 059 Yuan）（ χ2=9.969 and 7.606， P=0.002和0.006）. Conclusions:Among the Gram-positive pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China， Staphylococci is the most common while the MRSA incidence decreases continuously with time；the detection rate of Enterococcus faecium exceeds that of Enterococcus faecalis. The overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci is still at a low level. The composition ratio of Gram-positive pathogens and resistant profiles varies slightly across regions of China，with the prevalence of MRSA and MRCNS being more pronounced in provincial hospitals and areas with a per capita GDP≥92 059 yuan.

Objective To investigate the effect of scutellarin(STR)on the proliferation and migration of human prostate cancer cell line(PC-3)and its underlying mechanism.Methods PC-3 cells were divided into low-dose STR group,medium-dose STR group,high-dose STR group,colivelin(STAT3 activator)group,high-dose STR+colivelin group and control group.CCK-8 assay and colony formation experiments were applied to detect cell prolif-eration;Scratch experiment was applied to detect cell migration;Transmission electron microscopy was applied to observe the mitochondrial ultrastructure of PC-3 cells.The intracellular free Fe2+,malondialdehyde(MDA)content and reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels were detected by colorimetric method;RT-qPCR was applied to detect the mRNA expression of member 11 of solute vector family(SLC7A11),proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA)and matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)in cells;Western blot was used to detected p-STAT3 and GPX4 proteins in cells.Results Compared to control group,the mitochondrial structure of PC-3 cells in the low-dose STR group,medium-dose STR group and high-dose STR group was significantly disrupted.The A450 value,colony formation rate,scratch healing rate,PCNA,SLC7A11,MMP-9 mRNA expression,and p-STAT3,GPX4 protein all reduced.While Fe2+,MDA content,and that ROS level increased with dose-dependent way(P＜0.05).Compared with control group,the destruction of mitochondrial structure in cells from colivelin group improved;The A450 value,colony formation rate,scratch healing rate,PCNA,SLC7A11,MMP-9 mRNA expression and p-STAT3,GPX4 protein all increased,while Fe2+MDA content,and ROS level decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with high-dose STR group,the damage of mitochondrial structure in PC-3 cells in the high-dose STR+colivelin group was re-duced.The A450 value,colony formation rate,scratch healing rate,PCNA,SLC7A11,MMP-9 mRNA expression,and p-STAT3,GPX4 protein increased,while Fe2+,MDA content and ROS level decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusions The mechanism by of STR reducing proliferation and migration of prostate cancer cells is potentially related to the inhibition of STAT3/GPX4 pathway.

Aim To investigate the effect of theaflavin on oxidized low density lipoprotein(ox-LDL)-induced foam cell formation and oxidative stress in THP-1 macrophages and its mechanism.Methods THP-1 derived macro-phages were pretreated with 50 μmol/L theaflavin and(or)10 μmol/L nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(NRF2)inhibitor ML385,then 100 mg/L ox-LDL was added to the cells for 24 h to establish the foam cell model.The effect of theaflavin on THP-1 macrophages viability was evaluated by CCK-8 assay and LDH release.The expression of inflamma-tory cytokines interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-1 β(IL-1β),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were analyzed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)and Western blot.The release of inflammatory cytokines were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Intracellular lipid accumulation was detected by Oil red O staining,and lipid absorption was observed by DiL-labeled oxidized low density lipoprotein(DiL-ox-LDL)staining.Re-active oxygen species(ROS)level was detected by DCFH-DA probe.The expression of lipid uptake,cholesterol efflux and oxidative stress-related proteins were detected by Western blot and RT-qPCR.Results Treatment with 100 mg/L ox-LDL significantly decreased cell viability and cholesterol efflux-related protein expressions,increased lipid uptake,ac-cumulation and lipid uptake-related protein expressions,and significantly promoted inflammation and ROS level,as well as the expressions of myeloperoxidase(MPO),NADPH oxidase 2(NOX2)in THP-1 macrophages(all P＜0.05).After pretreatment with theaflavin,cell viability was increased,intracellular lipid uptake,accumulation and lipid uptake-related protein expressions were significantly reduced,cholesterol efflux-related protein expressions were significantly increased,the expression and release of IL-6,IL-1β and TNF-α were significantly decreased,ROS level was significantly decreased,and the expression of MPO and NOX2 were decreased(all P＜0.05).Pretreatment with theaflavin effectively alleviated intracellular oxidative stress by altering the expression of NRF2,heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)and Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1(KEAP1)in NRF2 signaling pathway,and enhanced the translocation of NRF2 into the nucleus.After pretreat-ment with ML385,the expression levels of NRF2,HO-1,KEAP1 and CD36 were significantly decreased.Conclusion Theaflavin can significantly inhibit ox-LDL-induced foam cell formation,inflammation,and oxidative stress through NRF2/HO-1 signaling pathway in THP-1 macrophages.

Objective:To explore the relationship between white matter integrity and cognitive function in first-episode children and adolescents with schizophrenia by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).Methods:Totally 84 children and adolescents with first-episode schizophrenia who were hospitalized in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from September 2017 to June 2021 were selected as the study group, and 35 healthy children and adolescents matched with the study group were selected as the control group. Positive and negative symptom scale (PANSS) was used to assess the patient's mental symptoms. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) scans were performed, and the structural integrity of white matter fibers in the brain was measured by tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS), with the indicators including fractional anisotropy (FA). The Chinese version of measurement and treatment research to improve cognition in schizophrenia consensus cognitive battery (MCCB) and the Stroop color-word test were used to evaluate the cognitive function of all subjects. SPSS 26.0 software was used to analyse the data by analysis of variance, independent sample t-test, Mann Whitney U-test and Pearson correlation analysis. Results:(1)The FA values of the right superior longitudinal tract (MNI: x=49, y=-40, z=31) and the left corticospinal tract (MNI: x=-27, y=-22, z=-19) in the study group were higher than those in the control group(both P<0.05). The FA values of the bilateral cingulate gyrus (MNI: x=-7, y=25, z=14; x=20, y=-50, z=25) and the occipital part of the corpus callosum radiation line (MNI: x=-19, y=-50, z=21) in the study group were lower than those in the control group(both P<0.05).(2)The trail making test score of the study group was higher than that of the control group( t=4.344, P<0.01), and the scores of the symbol coding, Hopkins verbal learning test-revised( HVLT-R), brief visuospatial memory test-revised(BVMT-R), word fluency test, number span, maze, Stroop word, Stroop color and Stroop color words were lower than those in the control group( t=-13.041--3.204, all P<0.05). (3) The FA value of right cingulate gyrus (hippocampus) was negatively correlated with the number span ( r=-0.269, P=0.023).The FA value in occipital part of the corpus callosum radiation line was positively correlated with the symbol code ( r=0.237, P=0.047).The FA value of the left lower longitudinal bundle was negatively correlated with the Stroop color and maze ( r=-0.289, -0.275; P=0.010, 0.020).The FA value of the right inferior longitudinal fasciculus was negatively correlated with the score of maze ( r=-0.254, P=0.032). The FA value of occipital part of the corpus callosum radiation line was positively correlated with positive symptom score ( r=0.170, P=0.040). Conclusion:Cognitive dysfunction in children and adolescent with first-episode schizophrenia may be related to abnormal white matter integrity in the brain.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS) in the etiological diagnosis of patients with spinal infection, so as to provide reference for timely diagnosis and treatment.Methods:A total of 40 patients with suspected spinal infection admitted to the Department of Infectious Diseases in Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2020 to July 2022 were included. The results of tissue culture, histopathological examination and tissue mNGS detection were analyzed retrospectively. According to the clinical diagnose, the patients were divided into the spinal infection group (28 cases) and the non-spinal infection group (12 cases). The positive rate, sensitivity and specificity of mNGS and tissue culture in the pathogen detection of patients with spinal infection were compared. McNemar test was used for statistical analysis.Results:There were 23 males and 17 females in 40 patients. The positive rate of mNGS was higher than that of tissue culture (75.0%(30/40) vs 12.5%(5/40)), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=0.08, P<0.001). Based on clinical diagnostic criteria, the sensitivity of mNGS in the diagnosis of spinal infection was higher than that of tissue culture (82.1% vs 17.9%), with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=0.02, P<0.001), while the specificity compared to the tissue culture (33.3% vs 100.0%), the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:mNGS has a high pathogen detection rate and sensitivity in the etiological diagnosis of patients with spinal infection, which could provide clinical guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with spinal infection.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical bacterial isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2021.Methods:The clinical bacterial strains isolated from blood culture from member hospitals of Blood Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System (BRICS) were collected during January 2021 to December 2021. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). WHONET 5.6 was used to analyze data.Results:During the study period, 11 013 bacterial strains were collected from 51 hospitals, of which 2 782 (25.3%) were Gram-positive bacteria and 8 231 (74.7%) were Gram-negative bacteria. The top 10 bacterial species were Escherichia coli (37.6%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.9%), Staphylococcus aureus (9.8%), coagulase-negative Staphylococci (6.3%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.6%), Enterococcus faecium (3.6%), Acinetobacter baumannii (2.8%), Enterococcus faecalis (2.7%), Enterobacter cloacae (2.5%) and Klebsiella spp (2.1%). The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus aureus were 25.3% and 76.8%, respectively. No glycopeptide- and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci was detected; more than 95.0% of Staphylococcus aureus were sensitive to ceftobiprole. No vancomycin-resistant Enterococci strains were detected. The rates of extended spectrum B-lactamase (ESBL)-producing isolated in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis were 49.6%, 25.5% and 39.0%, respectively. The prevalence rates of carbapenem-resistance in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 2.2% and 15.8%, respectively; 7.9% of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae was resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam combination. Ceftobiprole demonstrated excellent activity against non-ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Aztreonam/avibactam was highly active against carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The prevalence rate of carbapenem-resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii was 60.0%, while polymyxin and tigecycline showed good activity against Acinetobacter baumannii (5.5% and 4.5%). The prevalence of carbapenem-resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 18.9%. Conclusions:The BRICS surveillance results in 2021 shows that the main pathogens of blood stream infection in China are gram-negative bacteria, in which Escherichia coli is the most common. The MRSA incidence shows a further decreasing trend in China and the overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci is low. The prevalence of Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is still on a high level, but the trend is downwards.
