ObjectiveTo understand the infection characteristics of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) in hospitalized patients in a tertiary sentinel hospital in Shanghai, so as to provide an evidence for the development of targeted prevention and control measures. MethodsData of MDROs strains and corresponding medical records of some hospitalized patients in a hospital in Shanghai from 2021 to 2023 were collected, together with an analysis of the basic information, clinical treatment, underlying diseases and sources of sample collection. ResultsA total of 134 strains of MDROs isolated from hospitalized patients in this hospital were collected from 2021 to 2023 , including 63 strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), 57 strains of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), and 14 strains of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). Of the 134 strains, 30 strains were found in 2021, 47 strains in 2022 and 57 strains in 2023. The male-to-female ratio of patients was 2.05∶1, with the highest percentage (70.90%) in the age group of 60‒<90 years. The primary diagnosis was mainly respiratory disease, with lung and respiratory tract as the cheif infection sites. There was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of strains between different genders and infection sites (P>0.05). However, the differences in the distribution of strains between different ages and primary diagnosis were statistically significant (P<0.05). Patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), had urinary tract intubation, were not artery or vein intubated, were not on a ventilator, were not using immunosuppresants or hormones, and were not applying radiotherapy or chemotherapy were in the majority. There was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of strains for whether received radiotherapy or chemotherapy or not (P>0.05), while the differences in the distribution of strains with ICU admission history, urinary tract intubation, artery or vein intubation, ventilator use, and immunosuppresants or hormones use or not were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The type of specimen was mainly sputum, the hospitalized ward was mainly comprehensive ICU, the sampling time was mainly in the first quarter throughout the year, the number of underlying diseases was mainly between 1 to 2 kinds, the application of antibiotics ≥4 kinds, and those who didn’t receive any surgery recently accounted for the most. There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of strains between different specimen types, wards occupied and history of ICU stay (P<0.05), but no statistically significant difference in the distribution of strains between different sampling times, number of underlying diseases and types of antibiotics applied (P>0.05). ConclusionThe situation of prevention and control on MDROs in this hospital is still serious. Focus should be placed on high-risk factors’ and infection monitoring and preventive measures should be strengthened to reduce the incidence rate of MDROs infection.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of robot-assisted modified Y-shaped ileal orthotopic neobladder reconstruction，so as to provide reference for clinical practice. Methods: The clinical data of 44 patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy，lymph node dissection，and modified Y-shaped ileal orthotopic neobladder reconstruction during Feb.2020 and Aug.2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The surgical position，Trocar position，and key surgical steps were reported.The perioperative conditions，postoperative complications，neobladder volume，maximum urinary flow rate，postvoid residual，renal function，and urinary control function were recorded. Results: All 44 surgeries were successfully completed，with operation time of (314.32±51.02) min，modified Y-shaped ileal orthotopic neobladder reconstruction time of (103.52±9.56) min，and bleeding volume of (128.18±57.27) mL.The postoperative time for fluid intake was (4.16±0.86) days，catheter indwelling time was (14.02±3.20) days，and patients were discharged 1 to 2 days after catheter removal.Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ complications occurred in 15 and 2 patients，respectively.During the follow-up of (20.77±5.90) months，dysuria occurred in 1 case，urethral calculi in 2 cases，and incomplete bowel obstruction in 2 cases. The postoperative neobladder capacity was (195.75±15.51) mL，maximal urinary flow rate (20.30±2.05) mL/s，postvoid residual (19.86±13.80) mL and serum creatinine (81.98±25.97) μmol/L. The incidence of daytime and nocturnal urinary incontinence 3，6 and 12 months after operation were 20.45% and 29.55%，11.36% and 18.18%，and 4.55% and 9.09%，respectively. Conclusion: Robot-assisted modified Y-shaped ileal orthotopic neobladder reconstruction has favorable efficacy and safety，and low incidence of postoperative complications，which can be applied in clinical practice.

With the ongoing evolution of minimally invasive thoracic surgery techniques, innovative anatomical approaches facilitating rapid perioperative recovery while achieving optimal aesthetic results and pain-free outcomes have become a pivotal direction in pulmonary resection. While periareolar incisions have demonstrated well-established advantages in cosmetic preservation and pain management in breast and thyroid procedures, the standardization of this approach for video-assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary resection requires further refinement. This consensus synthesizes the collective expertise of China's leading thoracic surgery centers in periareolar approach pulmonary resections. It aims to establish comprehensive clinical consensus that encompasses prerequisite surgical criteria, standardized perioperative management protocols, technically optimized operative procedures, and evidence-based complication prevention and management strategies, ultimately providing guidance for the standardized application of this innovative surgical technique.

Objective To investigate the relationship between mean platelet volume/lymphocyte ratio(MPVLR)and left atrial thrombosis in elderly patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation(NVAF).Methods A total of 178 elderly patients with NVAF admitted to the hospital from January 2019 to December 2022 were enrolled in the study.The patients were divided into thrombosis group(28 cases)and non-throm-bosis group(150 cases)according to the left atrial thrombosis judged by using esophageal echocardiography(TEE).The white blood cell count(WBC),red blood cell count(RBC),lymphocyte count,lymphocyte pro-portion,platelet count(PLT)and mean platelet volume(MPV)were detected by automatic blood cell analy-zer,and MPVLR was calculated.The liver and kidney function indicators and blood lipid indicators were detec-ted by automatic biochemical analyzer.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of MPV,lymphocyte ratio and MPVLR for left atrial thrombosis in NVAF patients.Multiva-riate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of left atrial thrombosis in elderly NVAF patients.Results MPV,lymphocyte proportion and MPVLR in the thrombosis group were higher than those in the non-thrombosis group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of MPV,lymphocyte ratio and MPVLR for predicting left atrial thrombosis in NVAF patients were 0.821(95％CI:0.764-0.882),0.771(95％CI:0.714-0.842)and 0.901(95％CI:0.861-0.949).respectively.The course of disease in the thrombosis group was longer than that in the non-thrombosis group,the proportion of patients with chronic heart failure,the proportion of patients with stroke,CH A2DS2-VASc score,LAEF,LAD,LVEDV,MPVLR,serum uric acid,MPV,lymphocyte proportion and MPVLR were higher than those in the non-thrombosis group,and LVEF was lower than that in the non-thrombosis group,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression a-nalysis showed that disease duration ≥1.93 years(OR=3.050,95％CI:1.928-4.824),chronic heart failure(OR=3.333,95％CI:1.808-6.144),MPVLR≥3.10(OR=3.873,95％CI:1.734-8.650)were independ-ent risk factors for left atrial thrombosis in elderly NVAF patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion The increase of MPVLR is associated with left atrial thrombosis in elderly patients with NVAF,and it can be used as a an in-dicator to predict left atrial thrombosis in patients with NVAF.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility, safety and reasonable operation of nasointestinal canal indwelling guided by miniature system in severe neurosurgery patients, and compare its advantages and disadvantages with traditional blind insertion.Methods:A prospective randomized controlled trial design was used to select 128 critically ill patients in need of enteral nutrition support at the Department of Neurosurgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from March 2022 to October 2023 by convenient sampling method. They were divided into blind insertion group and visualization group by random number table method, with 64 cases in each group. Nasointestinal canal indwelling was performed in the blind insertion group by traditional blind insertion method, and in the visualization group, nasointestinal canal indwelling was performed by indentations guided by the miniature visualization system. The success rate of initial catheterization, the time of catheterization, complications, changes of vital signs during catheterization and changes of nutritional indexes after catheterization were evaluated in 2 groups.Results:In the blind insertion group, there were 35 males and 29 females, aged (59.44 ± 13.84) years old. In the visualization group, there were 41 males and 23 females, aged (58.28 ± 12.08) years old. The success rate of the first catheter placement in the visual group was 96.8% (62/64), higher than that in the blind group 82.8% (53/64), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.94, P<0.05). The catheter placement time of the visualization group was (20.08 ± 2.69) min, which was shorter than that of the blind insertion group (38.19 ± 3.79) min, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=29.99, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications, changes of vital signs during catheterization and the changes of nutritional indexes after catheterization between two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with traditional blind nasointestinal canal indwelling, nasointestinal canal indwelling guided by the miniature visualization system can improve the success rate of the first catheterization and shorten the catheterization time. Although there is no difference in the complication rate, changes in vital signs during catheterization and changes in nutritional indexes after catheterization, it is believed that with the continuous development and upgrading of this technology, it will further reflect the advantages of this technology, which is worthy of further clinical trials and application.

Objective:To investigate the regulatory effect of transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C member 3 (TRPC3) on the retina in oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) mice and biological behavior of human retinal vascular endothelial cells (HREC).Methods:A total of 32 healthy SPF grade 7-day-old C57BL/6 mice were selected and randomly divided into a control group and an OIR group by the random number table method, with 16 mice in each group.The control group received no special treatment, and the OIR model was established in the OIR group.On postnatal day 17 (PN17), the success of the model establishment was verified by immunofluorescence staining of the retinal patch.The in vitro cultured HREC were divided into a normal control group, a transfection reagent group, and a si-TRPC3 group.The normal control group received no special treatment, while the transfection reagent group and the si-TRPC3 group were transfected with transfection reagent or transfection reagent + si-TRPC3.The relative expression of TRPC3 mRNA was detected by real-time quantitative fluorescence PCR.The relative expressions of TRPC3, transcription factor NF-E2 related factor (Nrf2), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) proteins were determined by Western blot.HREC were further divided into a normal control group, a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) group, a si-TRPC3 group, and a Pyr3 (TRPC3 channel inhibitor) group, which were cultured in complete medium, medium containing 20 ng/ml VEGF recombinant protein, medium containing 20 ng/ml VEGF recombinant protein (si-TRPC3 transfection for 72 hours), and medium containing 20 ng/ml VEGF recombinant protein+ 1 μmol/L Pyr3 for 48 hours, respectively.The proliferation ability of HREC was detected using cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8). The horizontal and vertical migration ability of cells were detected by cell scratch assay and transwell assay, respectively.This study followed the 3R principles of animal welfare and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Hebei Eye Hospital (No.2023LW04). Results:Pathological neovascular clusters with strong fluorescent staining appeared in the retina of OIR mice on PN17.The relative expressions of TRPC3 mRNA and protein in the retina of OIR mice were 2.057±0.244 and 1.517±0.290, respectively, significantly higher than 0.983±0.033 and 0.874±0.052 of control group ( t=6.165, 3.094; both at P<0.05). The relative expression levels of TRPC3 mRNA and protein were significantly lower, and the relative expression levels of Nrf2 and SOD proteins were higher in the si-TRPC3 group than in the normal control and transfection reagent groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.05). The CCK-8 experiment results showed that the cell absorbance value was higher in the VEGF group than in the normal control group, and lower in the si-TRPC3 and Pyr3 groups than in the VEGF group, with statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). The results of the cell scratch experiment showed that the lateral migration rate of VEGF group cells was higher than that of normal control group, while the lateral migration rate of si-TRPC3 group and Pyr3 group cells was lower than that of VEGF group, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.05). The transwell experiment results showed that the number of stained cells in the VEGF group was higher than that in the normal control group, and the number of stained cells in the si-TRPC3 group and Pyr3 group was lower than that in the VEGF group, with statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:Hypoxia induces increased TRPC3 expression in OIR mouse retina, and downregulation of TRPC3 inhibits HREC proliferation and migration.The mechanism is related to the activation of the Nrf2-related oxidative stress pathway.

Objective To compare the differences in virulence-related factor aspartate protease,biofilm formation,and gene expression among clinical isolates of Candida parapsilosis(C.parapsilosis).Methods Gene sequencing and microsatellite typing(MT)method were adopted to identify C.parapsilosis isolated from patients with clinical fungal infection.The production of secreted aspartate protease and biofilm formation ability of each strain were de-tected,and the expression of biofilm formation related-genes BCR1,EFG1,and HWP1,as well as aspartate prote-ase virulence genes SAPP1,SAPP2,SAPP3 were compared among the strains.Results A total of 8 clinically iso-lated C.parapsilosis strains were collected,all of which were identified as genotype Ⅰ.Based on microsatellite ty-ping results,8 clinical strains were divided into 4 microsatellite types.G1,G2,and G3 strains isolated from the urine,peripherally inserted central catheters(PICC),and blood of patient A were of different subtypes.J1,J2,J3,J4,and J5 strains were of the same type,and isolated from blood specimens of patient B at different periods.All 8 clinical strains could form biofilm,and their biofilm formation ability was higher than that of the standard strain of C.parapsilosis(ATCC 22019).G1,G3 and J5 strains had strong biofilm formation ability,J1,J2,J3,and J4 strains had moderate biofilm formation ability,and G2 strain had weak biofilm formation ability.All of the eight clinical isolates secreted aspartate protease,and their in vitro expression levels of the enzyme were higher than that of the standard strain(ATCC 22019).G3,G1,and G2 strains showed low,moderate,and high in vitro enzyme expression respectively,with statistical differences(all P＜0.05).Enzyme expressed moderately in J1 and J5 strains,and highly in J2,J3,and J4 strains.Difference between moderate and high expressions was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The expression levels of biofilm formation genes BCR1,EFG1,and HWP1 in various strains isolated from patients A and B increased.In strains isolated from patient A,the expression level of EFG1 gene in G1 strain was higher than that in G2 strain(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in BCR1,EFG1,and HWP1 gene expression levels among strains isolated from patient B.The expression levels of as-partate protein genes(SAPP1,SAPP2,and SAPP3)in various strains isolated from patients A and B increased.The expression levels of SAPP1 and SAPP2 in strain G1 were higher than those in G2 and G3(both P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the expression levels of SAPP1,SAPP2,and SAPP3 genes in strains from patient B.Conclusion Clinical isolates of C.parapsilosis have higher biofilm formation and aspartate protease production abilities than standard strain.The expression of virulence factors varies among strains isolated from different specimens,while there is no significant difference in the expression of virulence factors among strains isolated at different periods.Patients may have been infected with different MT types of C.parapsilosis in multiple sites during the same period.

Objective To explore the clinical application of the Shikani optical style(SOS)in guiding nasal tracheal intubation.Methods A retrospective analysis was made on clinical data of 60 patients who underwent selective operation under general anesthesia through nasal tracheal intubation from January 2017 to December 2022.According to the guidance methods of nasal tracheal intubation,the patients were divided into three groups with 20 cases in each group:video laryngoscope guided nasal tracheal intubation group(group V),fiberoptic bronchoscopy guided nasal tracheal intubation group(group F),and SOS guided nasal tracheal intubation group(group S).The grading of glottis exposure and epistaxis during tracheal intubation were recorded,as well as the success rate,completion time,and incidence of postoperative complications related to nasal tracheal intubation.Results The glottis exposure in the group F and group S were both grade Ⅰ.Among the group V,there were 7 cases of gradeⅠ,10 cases of gradeⅡ,and 3 cases of grade Ⅲ.The glottis exposure effect of patients in the group F and S was significantly better than that of the group V(Z =-4.274,P = 0.000;Z =-4.274,P = 0.000).There were 15 and 14 patients in the group F and the group S without epistaxis,and 5 and 6 patients with mild epistaxis,respectively.There were no patients with severe epistaxis in the group F and the group S.In the group V,there were 7 patients without epistaxis,10 patients with mild epistaxis,and 3 patients with severe epistaxis.The degree of epistaxis in the group F and the group S was significantly less than that in the group V(Z =-2.678,P =0.007;Z =-2.402,P =0.016).The median time for tracheal intubation in the group S was 37.5(34.3,41.5)s,significantly shorter than 45.0(39.8,72.5)s in the group V and 89.0(76.0,102.5)s in the group F(Z =15.703,P =0.013;Z =32.050,P =0.000),with the group V being significantly shorter than the group F(Z =-16.347,P =0.009).The nasal tracheal intubation failed in 2 cases in the group V,while was all successfully completed in the group F and the group S.The difference of success rate was not statistically significant among the three groups(P>0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the rates of postoperative nasopharyngeal pain and nasal congestion among the three groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The method of SOS-guided nasal tracheal intubation can provide good glottis exposure and achieve a satisfactory success rate of tracheal intubation without increasing the risk of adverse reactions,which can be regarded as a safe and effective method of nasal tracheal intubation.

Objective To explore the safety and feasibility of single-segment paravertebral nerve block(PVNB)in elderly patients undergoing inguinal hernioplasty.Methods A retrospective analysis was made on clinical data of 58 elderly patients who underwent open tension-free inguinal hernioplasty from January 2016 to December 2022.According to the anesthesia method,they were divided into two groups with 29 cases in each:single-segment PVNB group(P group)and single subarachnoid block group(S group).Patients in the P group were given L1 single-segment PVNB guided by ultrasound combined with peripheral nerve stimulators or simple peripheral nerve stimulators by using 0.4%ropivacaine 20 ml.Patients in the S group underwent puncture in the interspinous space between L3/4 and received 0.5%bupivacaine 10 mg.The mean arterial pressure and heart rate before anesthesia(T0),at the time of skin incision(T1),at the time of hernia sac dissection(T2),and at the time of wound closure(T3)were recorded,and the block levels,anesthetic effect,remedial rate of fentanyl,local anesthetic toxicity,peripheral nerve injury,urinary retention,delirium,and nausea and vomiting of the patients were recorded.The patient's satisfaction with anesthesia was followed up.Results All the 58 patients underwent surgery smoothly.The difference in block levels was statistically significant between the two groups of patients(Z =-4.144,P =0.000),while the differences in the remedial rate of fentanyl,anesthesia effect,and anesthesia satisfaction were not statistically significant(χ2 =0.269,P =0.604;Z =-1.430,P =0.153;Z =-1.395,P =0.163).There were no statistically significant differences in mean arterial pressure and heart rate changes between the two groups at different time points(F =0.002,P = 0.960;F =0.260,P =0.612).The rate of urinary retention in the P group was significantly lower than that in the S group(0.0%vs.24.1%,Fisher's test,P =0.010).There were no statistically significant differences in rates of dilirium and nausea and vomitting(P>0.05).All the patients did not experience local anesthetic toxicity or peripheral nerve injury during the perioperative period.Conclusion Single-segment PVNB can provide comprehensive anesthesia and analgesia for elderly patients undergoing inguinal hernioplasty,helping to maintain the stability of intraoperative hemodynamics and reducing the risk of postoperative adverse reactions.

Objective:To analyze the changes of diagnosis and treatment before and after renal biopsy in adult patients with acute kidney disease (AKD), and to explore the value of renal biopsy in the diagnosis and treatment of AKD.Methods:It was a single-center retrospective observational study. The adult patients with AKD who underwent renal biopsy in the Department of Nephrology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2021 were enrolled. Demographic data, general clinical data, laboratory tests, and diagnosis and treatment data before and after renal biopsy were collected to analyze the concordance rate between clinical and pathological diagnoses, changes in treatment after renal biopsy, and bleeding complication.Results:A total of 575 patients diagnosed with AKD by renal biopsy were included in this study, with age of 51 (36, 63) years old and 359 males (62.4%). Among them, there were 293 patients (51.0%) of acute kidney injury, 348 patients (60.5%) of hypertension and 124 patients (21.6%) of diabetes. The peak serum creatinine was 272 (190, 477) μmol/L. The hemoglobin was 106 (86, 126) g/L. The 24-hour urine protein was 2.15 (0.79, 4.82) g. There were 347 patients (60.3%) of acute glomerular diseases, 136 patients (23.7%) of acute interstitial nephritis, 47 patients (8.2%) of thrombotic microangiopathy, and 45 patients (7.8%) of acute tubular necrosis. The most common types of acute glomerular diseases were IgA nephropathy and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis, accounting for 22.3% (128/575) and 12.2% (70/575), respectively. The clinical diagnoses before renal biopsy were consistent with the renal histopathological diagnoses in 454 patients, with an accuracy rate of 79.0%. Following the renal biopsy, the treatment plan involving glucocorticoids or immunosuppressants was adjusted in 394 patients (68.5%). Significant post-biopsy bleeding occurred in 15 patients (2.6%), with 12 patients requiring blood transfusion and 1 patient requiring surgical intervention.Conclusions:Twenty-one clinical diagnoses do not match the pathological diagnoses in adult AKD patients, 68.5% of patients have changes in their treatment plans, and 2.6% of patients have significant hemorrhagic complications after renal biopsy. Clinicians need to carefully consider the benefits and risks and make individualized decisions about renal biopsy.
