To study the carriage status of drug susceptibility, clonal complex groups, serotypes, surface proteins and virulence genes of Streptococcus agalactiae from respiratory specimen sources. A total of 35 strains of S.agalactiae meeting the criteria were collected from 3 hospitals in 2 locations, Tangshan and Jinan. The age span of the patients was 3 days-92 years, and the percentage of elderly patients≥60 years was 71.5%.The susceptibility to 9 antimicrobial drugs was measured and analyzed using the micro broth dilution method. The strains were 100.0% sensitive to penicillin, linezolid, vancomycin, and ceftriaxone; However, it exhibits high resistance rates to erythromycin, clindamycin and levofloxacin, at 97.1%, 85.7% and 82.9% respectively; and the resistance rates to tetracycline and chloramphenicol were 34.3% and 14.2%, respectively. Genome sequence determination and analysis showed that 16 resistance genes were detected in 35 strains, among which: macrolide and lincosamide resistance genes were mainly ermB, with a carrying rate of 74.2%; tetracycline resistance genes were mainly tetM, with a carrying rate of 25.7%; in addition, the mutation rates of the quinolone resistance determinants gyrA and parC were 88.5% and 85.7%, respectively. 35 strains belonged to 6 ST types and 4 clonal groups, with CC10/ST10 as the main one, accounting for 62.8%; they contained 4 serotypes of Ⅰb, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅴ, as well as 1 untyped strain, with serotype Ⅰb as the main one, accounting for 65.7%. The strains carried three pilus types, PI1+PI2a, PI2a and PI2b types, respectively, and detected five surface proteins, alpha, alp1, rib, srr, and r df_0594, and seven virulence factors, cba, cfb, cylE, fbsA, hylB, l mb, and pavA. Overall, S.agalactiae isolated from respiratory tract specimens is predominantly sourced from elderly patients, with CC10 strains being most prevalent. These strains harbor multiple drug-resistant and virulence genes, demonstrating elevated resistance rates to macrolides, lincosamides, and quinolones. This emphasizes the necessity for vigilant attention to the health threat posed by S. agalactiae from respiratory tract speciments of elderly patients.

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 explore the influencing factors of visual acuity recovery in patients with high myopia after posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens(ICL)implantation.Methods A prospective study was conducted on 210 pa-tients(420 eyes)with high myopia who underwent ICL implantation at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou Univer-sity from May 2021 to March 2023.The patients were divided into a good recovery group[best corrected visual acuity(BC-VA)recovery ≥0.3 D]and a poor recovery group(BCVA recovery＜0.3 D)based on their visual acuity recovery status three months after surgery.The baseline data of patients in the two groups were compared,and the factors affecting visual acuity recovery were analyzed using Logistic regression.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to an-alyze the predictive value of the Logistic regression model for poor visual acuity recovery in patients with high myopia after ICL implantation.Results Three months after surgery,149 patients(298 eyes)were in the good recovery group,and 61 patients(122 eyes)were in the poor recovery group.There were no significant differences in gender,age,years of myopi-a,body mass index,and academic performance between the two groups(all P＞0.05).The proportions of patients with corneal astigmatism＜1.30 D(55.74％),corneal diopter＜45 D(59.02％),Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)＜7 points(63.93％),and average central radius of curvature[(7.82±0.27)mm]in the poor recovery group were lower than those in the good recovery group[83.89％,81.88％,85.91％,and(7.90±0.24)mm,respectively].The central flat me-ridian curvature(k1)of the anterior corneal surface[(43.27±1.43)D],steep meridian curvature(k2)of the anterior corneal surface[(44.84±1.53)D],and arch height[(628.49±67.28)μm]in the poor recovery group were higher than those in the good recovery group[(42.73±1.42)D,(44.12±1.47)D],and[(417.56±80.14)pm],with significant differences(all P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that corneal astigmatism,corneal diopter,k1,k2,arch height,and PSQI score were independent influencing factors of poor visual acuity recovery after ICL implantation in pa-tients with high myopia(all P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve for predicting poor visual acuity recovery after ICL implantation in patients with high myopia by Logistic regression model was 0.938(95％CI:0.896-0.966),the sensitivity was 83.61％,and the specificity was 91.95％(P＜0.05).Conclusion The visual acuity recovery after ICL implantation in patients with high myopia is affected by corneal astigmatism,corneal diopter,k1,k2,arch height,and PSQI score.The Logistic regression model based on these factors has high predictive value for visual acui-ty recovery after ICL implantation.

Objective:To explore the short-term efficacy on 3D printing assisted reconstruction of traumatic digit joint defects using rib and costo-osteochondral autograft.Methods:From August 2022 to July 2023, 7 patients with open digit joint defects had undergone emergency primary debridement and fracture fixation in the Department of Orthopaedics, 988th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of PLA. Patients with more phalangeal defects that could not be aligned were treated with antibiotic bone cement filling in the emergency surgery. In the second stage surgery, bone cement was removed and transfer of rib cartilage graft was performed to reconstruct the digit joint defect. According to a 1∶1 3D printed hand templates, rib cartilage grafts were crafted to the shape of digit joints, and then spliced together the digit joints and bone defects for fixation. Follow-up X-ray examinations were taken and assessment of the healing status of rib and fractures of phalangeal and metacarpophalangeal bones were carried out according to the Paley fracture healing score. At the outpatient follow-up, assessment of transferred joint movement and evaluation of upper limb function were conducted according to the Evaluation Trial Standards of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain scores were evaluated from the affected digits and donor sites.Results:After reconstructive surgery, all 7 patients had primary healing of the wounds of hand. One patient had fat liquefaction at the donor site, and the rest had primary donor site healing. One patient received further surgery for extensor tendon repair after rib cartilage grafting due to the digital extensor tendon injury. All 7 patients were included in postoperative follow-up for 6-11 months, with an average of 9 months. All patients had excellent fracture healing according to the Paley fracture healing score. At the final follow-up, the extension and flexion of the digit joints were found at 40°-80° (average 56.2°) for proximal interphalangeal joints (4 patients), and 10° in extension and 85° in flexion for metacarpophalangeal joint (1 patient). The range of motion of the thumb interphalangeal joint (2 patients) was 20°-35° (average 27.5°). Hand function was assessed according to Evaluation Trial Standards of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association and it was found that 3 patients were in excellent, 3 in good and 1 in fair.Conclusion:This study focused on the treatment of traumatic digit joint defects by transfer of individually crafted rib cartilages in reconstruction of the defected digit joint. It significantly improves the appearance and function of the defected digit joints, especially suitable for the irregular defects of phalangeal bones.

OX40 is a costimulatory receptor that is expressed primarily on activated CD4⁺, CD8⁺, and regulatory T cells. The ligation of OX40 to its sole ligand OX40L potentiates T cell expansion, differentiation, and activation and also promotes dendritic cells to mature to enhance their cytokine production. Therefore, the use of agonistic anti-OX40 antibodies for cancer immunotherapy has gained great interest. However, most of the agonistic anti-OX40 antibodies in the clinic are OX40L-competitive and show limited efficacy. Here, we discovered that BGB-A445, a non-ligand-competitive agonistic anti-OX40 antibody currently under clinical investigation, induced optimal T cell activation without impairing dendritic cell function. In addition, BGB-A445 dose-dependently and significantly depleted regulatory T cells in vitro and in vivo via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. In the MC38 syngeneic model established in humanized OX40 knock-in mice, BGB-A445 demonstrated robust and dose-dependent antitumor efficacy, whereas the ligand-competitive anti-OX40 antibody showed antitumor efficacy characterized by a hook effect. Furthermore, BGB-A445 demonstrated a strong combination antitumor effect with an anti-PD-1 antibody. Taken together, our findings show that BGB-A445, which does not block OX40-OX40L interaction in contrast to clinical-stage anti-OX40 antibodies, shows superior immune-stimulating effects and antitumor efficacy and thus warrants further clinical investigation.

OBJECTIVE To explore and establish a long-term mechanism for rational control of intravenous fluids in hospitals. METHODS On the basis of the establishment of rules and regulations， through the exploration and implementation of the core technical strategy of “six-step method”， a new mode of intravenous infusion control was established. The contents of the “six-step method” were as follows： the first step was to sort out the diseases that did not require intravenous infusion； the second step was to sort out the alternative drugs/dosage forms； the third step was to sort out the alternative routes of infusion； the fourth step was to develop drug specifications； the fifth step was to explore the personalized medication needs of clinical departments； the sixth step was to develop a department-specific integrated infusion regimen. The utilization rate of intravenous fluids in inpatients and the average daily amount of intravenous fluids per bed in inpatients were used as the main indicators to evaluate the control effect. RESULTS The comparison of the average values of three months before and after the implementation of the “six-step” management mode in the department of thoracic surgery of our hospital showed that after management and control， the average utilization rate of intravenous fluids in inpatients decreased by 1.74%， the average daily use of intravenous fluids in inpatients per bed decreased by 0.30 bags/bottle， and the per capita use of infusion drugs under key control gradually decreased. CONCLUSIONS The “six-step” management mode can reduce the utilization rate of intravenous fluids in inpatients， and this management mode is practical and feasible.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of mechanical phlebitis(MP)during peripherally inserted central catheterization(PICC)in very/extremely low birth weight infants(VLBWI/ELBWI)in neonatal Intensive Care Unit(NICU).Methods The clinical data of VLBWI/ELBWI who underwent PICC catheterization were retrospectively analyzed.Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of MP.Results The incidence of MP after implementa-tion of PICC in VLBWI/ELBWI was 26.1％(116/444).Univariate analysis showed that the position of catheter tip,catheter vein,gestational age,body mass at birth,gestational age when cathetering,body mass when cathetering,puncture times and length were influencing factors for MP in VLBWI/ELBWI(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that abnormal position ofcathe-ter tip(OR=2.526;95％CI,1.532 to 4.164)and puncture times ≥ 2 times(OR=1.952;95％CI,1.017 to 3.747)were independent risk factors.Conclusion The abnormal catheter tip position and the number of puncturing ≥2 times increase the risk of mechanical phlebitis in VLBWI/ELBWI after PICC.Early intervention should be taken as soon as possible to avoid the occurrence of MP so as to relieve infants'pain and improve the quality of clinical care.

Objective: To investigate the underlying influential factors related to emotional overeating behavior among college students,and to provide a reference for formulating intervention strategies for prevention of unhealthy eating behavior of college students. Methods: A questionnaire designed based on the social ecosystem theory was used to assess the potential influential factors of at personal, social, physical and macro level emotional overeating behavior of 2 045 college students. The Emotional Overeating Questionnaire was used to measure the frequency of emotional overeating behavior among normal weight college students. Binary Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the association between dietary norms and the influence emotional overeating behaviors. Results: In the full adjusted model, dietary norms (OR=1.28,95%CI=1.16-1.41)，emotion scale (OR=1.46, 95%CI=1.24-1.73) and close friends attitude(OR=0.75, 95%CI=0.59-0.95)were associated with emotional overeating behaviors. Sex, urban and rural origin, monthly living expenses, parental attitude, distance to frequent fast food restaurants outside the school, and the unmarked proportion of nutritional content and calorie information on food packaging were not associated with emotional overeating behaviors (P>0.05). Conclusion Dietary norms and emotion scale might increase the risk of motional overeating, close friends attitude might reduce the risk of emotional overeating. For reducing the frequency of unhealthy eating behavior, our results implied that 1) it s necessary to improve mental health of the college students; strengthening health education in order to make them distinguish the unhealthy dietary norms is important; peer education might be effective.
