AIM: To establish a method for quantitation of cefepime and avibactam in M-H broth, and applicated in the in vitro dynamic PK/PD model. METHODS: The cefepime was also determined using the high-performance liquid chromatography method (HPLC), the avibactam was also determined using the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), an in vitro dynamic PK/PD model was established to study the PK/PD relationship of cefepime/avibactam against carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). RESULTS: The linear ranges of cefepime and avibactam were good at (0.5-20) and (0.1-25) μg/mL (r=0.999), and the lower limit concentrations were 0.5 and 0.1 μg/mL. The extraction recoveries of cefepime and avibactam in M-H broth were 88.0%-101.7% and 90.9%-95.2%, the relative standard deviation of intra-day precision and inter-day precision were less than 5.2%. The concentration-time curves were well simulated by the PK/PD model. All observed concentrations in each experiment were in the range of 20% of the targeted values. For the CRKP of MIC=8 μg/mL and MIC=16 μg/mL, the colony decreased to 2.783Log10 CFU/mL and 1.325Log10 CFU/mL at the cefepime/avibactam 2.5 g q8 h administration after 24 h. CONCLUSION: The determination method of cefepime and avibactam in broth established in this study has high sensitivity and good stability. For the CRKP with MIC≤8 μg/mL,cefepime/avibactam showed that good anti-CRKP activity under routine administration in vitro dynamic PK/PD model.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors for intestinal colonization and secondary infection of car-bapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)in neonates,and provide a basis for formulating prevention and control strategies for CRKP infection.Methods Neonates who were admitted to the neonatal ward of a hospital from January 2021 to October 2022 were selected as the study subjects,and the first screening of CRKP was con-ducted within 48 hours after admission.In addition,active anal swab screening for carbapenem-resistant Ente-robacterales(CRE)was performed weekly during hospitalization,and the infection status of CRKP strains was mo-nitored.Clinical data of neonates in the colonization group,non-colonization group,and infection group were ana-lyzed.Intestinal colonized strains and the non-repetitive CRKP strains isolated from clinical specimens of neonates with secondary infection after colonization were performed carbapenemase gene detection,multilocus sequence ty-ping(MLST)and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis(PFGE)analysis.Results A total of 1 438 neonates were active-ly screened for CRE,174 were CRKP positive,CRKP colonization rate was 12.1％.Among 174 neonates,35 were with secondary infection,with the incidence of 20.1％.The independent risk factors for neonatal CRKP intestinal colonization were cesarean section(OR=2.050,95％CI:1.200-3.504,P=0.009),use of cephalosporins(OR=1.889,95％CI:1.086-3.288,P=0.024),nasogastric tube feeding(OR=2.317,95％CI:1.155-4.647,P=0.018).Protective factors were breast-feeding(OR=0.506,95％CI:0.284-0.901,P=0.021),oral probiotics(OR=0.307,95％CI:0.147-0.643,P=0.002),and enema(OR=0.334,95％CI:0.171-0.656,P=0.001).Independent risk factors for secondary infection after intestinal colonization of neonatal CRKP were carbapenem anti-biotic use(OR=19.869,95％CI:1.778-222.029,P=0.015)and prolonged hospital stay(OR=1.118,95％CI:1.082-1.157,P＜0.001).The detection results of drug resistance genes showed that carbapenemase-producing genes of CRKP strains were all blaKPC-2,all belonged to type ST11.Homologous analysis showed that intestinal CRKP colonization was highly homologous with the secondary infection strains after colonization.Conclusion CRKP intestinal colonization during neonatal hospitalization may increase the risk of CRKP infection.Risk and pro-tective factors of neonatal intestinal colonization and secondary infections after colonization should be paid attention,and corresponding preventive and control measures should be taken,so as to reduce the occurrence and transmission CRKP healthcare-associated infection.

Objective To explore clinical effect of closed reduction percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail assisted by arthrography in the treatment of radial neck fracture in children.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 23 chil-dren with radial neck fracture treated with arthrography assisted closed reduction and percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail internal fixation(arthrography with elastic nail group)from January 2019 to December 2022,including 12 males and 11 fe-males,aged from 2 to 12 years old with an average of(7.36±1.89)years old;According to Judet fracture types,14 children were type Ⅲ and 9 children were type Ⅳ.In addition,23 children with radial neck fracture were selected from January 2015 to December 2018 who were treated with closed reduction and percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail fixation(elastic nail group),including 11 males and 12 females,aged from 2 to 14 years old with an average of(7.50±1.91)years old;Judet classi-fication included 15 children were type Ⅲ and 8 children were type Ⅳ.Operative time and intraoperative fluoroscopy times were compared between two groups.Metaizeau evaluation criteria was used to evaluate fracture reduction,and Tibone-Stoltz evaluation criteria was used to evaluate functional recovery of elbow between two groups.Results Both groups were followed up for 12 to 24 months with an average of(16.56±6.34)months.Operative time and intraoperative fluoroscopy times of elastic nail group were(56.64±19.27)min and(21.13±7.87)times,while those of joint angiography with elastic nail group were(40.33±1 1.50)min and(12.10±3.52)times;there were difference between two groups(P＜0.05).According to Metaizeau evaluation,11 patients got excellent result,9 good and 3 fair in joint angiography with elastic nail group,while in elastic nail group,5 ex-cellent,13 good,4 acceptable,and 1 poor;the difference between two groups was statistically significant(P＜0.05).According to Tibone-Stoltz criteria,14 patients got excellent result,8 good,and 1 fair in joint arthrography with elastic nail group;while in elastic nail group,12 patients got excellent result,9 good,1 fair and 1 poor;there was no significant difference between two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared to percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail fixation,closed reduction assisted by arthrography has advantages of reduced operation time,decreased intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency,and improved fracture reduction.Arthrography enables clear visualization of the anatomical structures of radius,head,neck,bone,and cartilage in children,facilitating comprehensive display of fracture reduction and brachioradial joint alignment.This technique more pre-cisely guides the depth of elastic intramedullary nail implantation in radius neck,thereby enhancing surgical efficiency and success rate.

Objective:To investigate the value of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), pediatric sequential organ failure assessment (pSOFA) and pediatric critical illness score (PCIS) in predicting mortality of pediatric sepsis in pediatric intensive care units (PICU) from Southwest China.Methods:This was a prospective multicenter observational study. A total of 447 children with sepsis admitted to 12 PICU in Southwest China from April 2022 to March 2023 were enrolled. Based on the prognosis, the patients were divided into survival group and non-survival group. The physiological parameters of SIRS, pSOFA and PCIS were recorded and scored within 24 h after PICU admission. The general clinical data and some laboratory results were recorded. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to compare the predictive value of SIRS, pSOFA and PCIS in mortality of pediatric sepsis.Results:Amongst 447 children with sepsis, 260 patients were male and 187 patients were female, aged 2.5 (0.8, 7.0) years, 405 patients were in the survival group and 42 patients were in the non-survival group. 418 patients (93.5%) met the criteria of SIRS, and 440 patients (98.4%) met the criteria of pSOFA≥2. There was no significant difference in the number of items meeting the SIRS criteria between the survival group and the non-survival group (3(2, 4) vs. 3(3, 4) points, Z=1.30, P=0.192). The pSOFA score of the non-survival group was significantly higher than that of the survival group (9(6, 12) vs. 4(3, 7) points, Z=6.56, P<0.001), and the PCIS score was significantly lower than that of the survival group (72(68, 81) vs. 82(76, 88) points, Z=5.90, P<0.001). The predictive value of pSOFA (AUC=0.82) and PCIS (AUC=0.78) for sepsis mortality was significantly higher than that of SIRS (AUC=0.56) ( Z=6.59, 4.23, both P<0.001). There was no significant difference between pSOFA and PCIS ( Z=1.35, P=0.176). Platelet count, procalcitonin, lactic acid, albumin, creatinine, total bilirubin, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time and international normalized ratio were all able to predict mortality of sepsis to a certain degree (AUC=0.64, 0.68, 0.80, 0.64, 0.68, 0.60, 0.77, 0.75, 0.76, all P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with SIRS, both pSOFA and PCIS had better predictive value in the mortality of pediatric sepsis in PICU.

Objective:To understand the status, evaluation methods and risk factors of economic toxicity in patients with head and neck cancer, in order to provide reference for the construction of follow-up intervention programs.Methods:This scoping review was conducted under the Joanna Briggs Institute in Australia guidelines. Relevant studies were searched in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, VIP Database and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database. Chinese and English literature was screened and summarized from inception to September 21, 2023.Results:A total of 14 articles were included, and the economic toxicity of patients with head and neck cancer was more serious.The evaluation methods were mainly divided into scale evaluation and database data calculation. The risk factors of economic toxicity in patients with head and neck cancer included three aspects: demographic factors such as young age, low education and low income; disease and treatment-related factors such as tumor location in larynx/hypopharynx, current/past use of tube feeding, advanced tumor/distant metastasis; social support factors such as insufficient social security, and so on.Conclusions:Future studies should pay more attention to economic toxicity in patients with head and neck cancer, standardize the selection of assessment tools to reduce heterogeneity, and develop individualized intervention measures for the risk factors of economic toxicity in patients with head and neck cancer, in order to reduce the occurrence of economic toxicity in patients with head and neck cancer.

Objective:To investigate the impact of early blood glucose fluctuations after acute multiple injuries on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).Methods:This study was a case-control study. From March 2022 to March 2023, patients with acute multiple injuries who were admitted to the ICU of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University were selected. According to whether complicated with traumatic brain injury (TBI), the patients were divided into TBI group and non-TBI group. Early post-traumatic blood glucose fluctuations were observed, including stress-induced hyperglycemia (SIH), initial blood glucose value on admission, blood glucose extreme, short-term glycemic variability (GV) and other related indicators. The 72-hour glucose coefficient of variation (Glu-CV) was used to reflect short-term GV. After 1 month, the PTSD checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) was used to assess the patient's symptoms of PTSD. The patients were divided into PTSD group and non-PTSD group according to PCL-5 score ≥38. The differences in short-term glucose fluctuations in each groups were compared; the risk factors of PTSD were analyzed by logistic regression; the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to evaluate the predictive value of related indicators on the incidence of PTSD.Results:159 patients with acute multiple injuries were selected and defined as the TBI group ( n=94) and non-TBI group ( n=65). The incidence of PTSD, PCL-5 scale scores, the incidence of SIH and 72 h Glu-CV in the TBI group were significantly higher than the non-TBI group (all P<0.05). The incidence of SIH and 72 h Glu-CV in the PTSD group were significantly higher than the non-PTSD group (both P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that 72 h Glu-CV ( OR=1.333, 95% CI: 1.028-1.727, P=0.030) was the independent risk factor for PTSD after acute multiple injuries, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.861 (95% CI: 0.789-0.933, P<0.001), the sensitivity was 62.9% and the specificity was 93.5%. Conclusion:Patients with acute multiple injuries with TBI are more likely to have early glucose fluctuations and develop PTSD, and increased short-term glucose variability is the independent risk factor for PTSD after acute multiple injuries.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of azithromycin sequential therapy combined with risk management in the treatment of mycoplasmal pneumonia pneumonia(MPP)in children.Methods MPP children admitted to the Department of Pediatrics of Quzhou People's Hospital from March 2023 to November 2023 were retrospectively selected,and divided into a study group(azithromycin sequential therapy combined with risk management)and a control group(azithromycin sequential therapy combined with routine care)according to different intervention methods.The clinical efficacy,inflammatory cytokines[interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-17(IL-17),and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)],incidence of MPP-related complications,and incidence of drug-related adverse reactions(DRAR)in the two groups after treatment were observed and compared.Results A total of 119 children with MPP were included in the study,with 57 in the study group and 62 in the control group.The clinical efficacy of children with MPP in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in IL-6,IL-17,and TNF-α between the two groups before treatment(P＞0.05);after treatment,both groups showed significant decreases in IL-6,IL-17,and TNF-α compared with before treatment,and these indicators of the study group were lower than thsoe of the control group(P＜0.05).The incidence of MPP-related complications in children in the study group was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse drug reactions between the two groups(P＞0.05).In addition,the satisfaction of MPP children's family members in the study group with nursing care was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The clinical efficacy of azithromycin sequential therapy combined with risk management in the treatment of pediatric MPP is significant,which can regulate the expression of inflammatory cytokines,reduce MPP-related complications,and improve clinical efficacy and family satisfaction with nursing care.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

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 compare and analyze the clinical outcomes of the ortho-bridge system(OBS)and the proximal humeral internal locking system(PHILOS)for the treatment of humeral surgical neck fractures(HSNF)in the elderly.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 80 elderly patients with HSNF admitted to our hospital.Patients were divided into the two groups based on different surgical methods,among which 30 patients treated with OBS were included into the OBS group and 50 patients treated with PHILOS were included into the PHILOS group.The operation indicators,postoperative recovery indicators,serum bone metabolism indexes[osteocalcin(OCN),N-terminal propeptide of type Ⅰ precollagen(PINP)and alkaline phosphatase(ALP)],callus score,shoulder joint function scores[Constant-Murley scale(CMS)score and Neer score],and incidence of complications of the two groups were compared.Results The operation time in the OBS group was longer than that in the PHILOS group,and the fracture healing time was shorter than that in the PHILOS group(P＜0.05).The levels of serum OCN,PINP,and ALP 1 month and 3 months after surgery in the OBS group were higher than those in the PHILOS group(P＜0.05).The callus scores 1 month,2 months,and 3 months after surgery in the OBS group were higher than those in the PHILOS group(P＜0.05).The CMS and Neer scores 1 month and 3 months after surgery in the OBS group were higher than those in the PHILOS group(P＜0.05).The incisions of patients in the two groups recovered well after surgery,achieving gradeⅠ healing without complications such as wound infection or nonunion.Conclusion Compared with PHILOS,the application of OBS in the treatment of elderly patients with HSNF has a better short-term clinical outcome,and can promote fracture healing.
