Phage therapy is one of the most important tools for the treatment of infections with multi-drug resistant bacteria. Such phages are usually isolated from hospital effluents, however, no systematic study on the distribution of phages in hospital effluents has been conducted so far. The aim of this study was to isolate the corresponding phages of common pathogenic bacteria isolated in the clinic as hosts, so as to assess the ecological distribution of phages in hospital wastewater and to provide a reference for the isolation and application of phages of drug-resistant bacteria in the clinic. A cross-sectional study design was used in this study. The 125 pathogenic bacteria (belonging to 16 different strains) isolated from the clinical microbiology laboratory of Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from May to June 2023 were selected as the target strains, and the phages corresponding to these strains were isolated and purified from the hospital wastewater by using the double-layer plate sandwich method. At the same time, the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in the same batch of wastewater was analyzed with the help of mNGS sequencing technology, so as to preliminarily investigate the abundance correspondence between pathogenic bacteria and phages in wastewater. The results showed that a total of 56 phage strains were isolated from 125 clinical pathogens as hosts, corresponding to six pathogens, including Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. All six pathogenic bacteria contained strains with different degrees of drug resistance, with a higher percentage of multi-drug resistant strains in A. baumannii, Escherichia coli and P. aeruginosa. The phage acquisition rates of these six pathogens were, in descending order, Escherichia coli (80%), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (75%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (70%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (66.67%), Acinetobacter baumannii (36.36%) and Staphylococcus aureus (12.5%). Preliminary mNGS sequencing results showed that the pathogenic bacteria with higher abundance in the batch of effluent were Enterococcus faecalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella aerogenes, Klebsiella michiganensis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In conclusion, phages of most common clinical Gram-negative pathogens were isolated from hospital wastewater with high isolation rates; however, phages of Gram-positive pathogens were isolated at lower rates, and only phages corresponding to Staphylococcus aureus were isolated in this study. The corresponding mNGS sequencing results showed that the distribution of Gram-negative pathogens in sewage may had a positive correlation with the ecological distribution of phages.

A 54-year-old, non-smoking woman was diagnosed as stage ⅣB adenocarcinoma with widespread bone metastasis (cT4N2M1c) in the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine. Immunohistochemistry result showed the presence of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene rearrangement; next-generation sequencing (NGS) indicated EML4-ALK fusion (E6:A20) with concurrent CCDC148-ALK (C1:A20), PKDCC-ALK (Pintergenic:A20)and VIT-ALK (V15:A20) fusions. After 32 weeks of alectinib treatment, the patient complained cough and exertional chest distress but had no sign of infection. Computed tomography (CT) showed bilateral diffuse ground glass opacities, suggesting a diagnosis of alectinib-related interstitial lung disease (ILD). Following corticosteroid treatment and discontinuation of alectinib, clinical presentations and CT scan gradually improved, but the primary lung lesions enlarged during the regular follow-up. The administration of crizotinib was then initiated and the disease was stable for 25 months without recurrence of primary lung lesions and ILD.

Objective:To summarize the clinical and genetic characteristics in patients with transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP).Methods:Fourteen unrelated TTR-FAP patients diagnosed at Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from September 2014 to February 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. The clinical manifestation, electrophysiology, cardiac function, biopsy and gene mutation were analyzed.Results:In the 14 patients (13 males, 1 female) diagnosed as TTR-FAP, the mean age at onset was 53.9 years (range: 33.0-71.0 years), with a mean course from symptom-onset to diagnosis of 4.1 years. The late-onset type occurred in 9 cases. Seven patients had a family history of TTR-FAP. Distal paresthesia of lower limbs was the commonest initial symptom (8 cases), with sensorimotor neuropathy and autonomic dysfunction seen initially in 4 and 2 cases, respectively. Cardiac involvement occurred in 6/8 of the patients. Nerve conduction studies indicated extremely axonal impairment with demyelinating features. Sural nerve biopsies showed moderate to severe axonal loss of myelinated fibers and the positive rate of Congo red staining was 8/14. Of 8 different TTR mutations detected, V50M was the most common (appearing in 5 cases). No obvious neuropathy progression was seen in the 5 patients who received tafamidis and 2 patients died of dyscrasia. Conclusions:TTR-FAP is more common in males, with sensorimotor axonal polyneuropathy, autonomic dysfunction and cardiac subclinical damage as the predominant symptoms. V50M is the commonest mutation. Tafamidis can delay the progression of disability.

Objective:To study the neuroprotective effect of Chuanjin Jieyu decoction on a chronic unpredictable stress (CUMS) induced depression rat model.Methods:A total of 48 adult male healthy Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly selected, with 12 rats as the control group, and the remaining rats were used to establish a CUMS depression model. After successful modeling, the rats were randomly divided into three groups: CUMS group, fluoxetine group, and Chuanjin Jieyu decoction group; 0.9% sodium chloride solution fluoxetine and Chuanjin Jieyu decoction were respectively administered for intervention for 4 weeks. After modeling and intervention, depression levels in rats were measured through open field experiments and sugar water preference experiments; After intervention, real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), tyrosine protein kinase receptor B (TrkB), and cyclic adenosine monophosphate responsive element binding protein (CREB) mRNA in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression levels of BDNF and NeuN. Western blot was used to detect the level of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP).Results:After modeling, the sugar consumption, sugar preference, vertical and horizontal movement results of the CUMS group, fluoxetine group, and Chuanjin Jieyu decoction group were significantly lower than those of the control group (all P<0.01); After intervention, the above indicators in the CUMS group were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.01). The above indicators in the fluoxetine group and the Chuanjin Jieyu decoction group were higher than those in the CUMS group ( P<0.01 or P<0.05), but lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01 or P<0.05). The qRT-PCR results showed that the mRNA expression levels of BDNF, TrkB, and CREB in the CUMS group, the fluoxetine group, and the Chuanjin Jieyu decoction group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.01); The above indicators in the fluoxetine group and the Chuanjin Jieyu decoction group were significantly higher than those in the CUMS group (all P<0.01). The immunofluorescence results showed that the expression levels of BDNF and NeuN in the CUMS group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.01); The above indicators in the fluoxetine group and the Chuanjin Jieyu decoction group were higher than those in the CUMS group ( P<0.01 or P<0.05), and all indicators in the Chuanjin Jieyu decoction group and the NeuN expression level in the fluoxetine group were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01 or P<0.05). Western blot results showed that the expression of GFAP protein in the CUMS group was lower than that in the control group ( P<0.01); The expression of GFAP protein in the fluoxetine group was higher than that in the CUMS group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Chuanjin Jieyu decoction can improve the behavioral indicators of depression in rats, increase the expression of BDNF, TrkB, CREB, and NeuN in the hippocampal dentate gyrus, suggesting that Chuanjin Jieyu decoction may exert neuroprotective effects through the BDNF/TrkB/CREB pathway.

【Objective】 To assess the effect of reconstruction kernels and window settings on the detection and measurement of pulmonary solid nodules and their measurement variability and repeatability. 【Methods】 We retrospectively recruited 49 patients with pulmonary solid nodules who had undergone low-dose CT scanning. Images were reconstructed using five reconstruction kernels: lung, bone, chest, detail and standard kernels. Two radiologists independently assessed the detection rate, diameter and CT number measurement of nodules under the five kernels and two window settings (lung-window and mediastinal-window). Bland-Altman plots and relative average deviation (RAD) were used to evaluate the repeatability and variability of nodule diameter and CT number measurement. 【Results】 Seventy-seven nodules were detected on lung-window regardless of reconstruction kernels, while the detection rates (75.3%-98.7%) were significantly different (P<0.001) on the mediastinal-window, with the lung kernel significantly improving the detection of nodules with the diameter below 6 mm. In both display windows, the diameter and CT number measurements among reconstruction kernels were similar except for the lung kernel. The lung-window had better variability in the diameter measurement while mediastinal-window was better in CT number measurement among various reconstruction kernels. Although the variability in the diameter of the nodule on the lung-window and mediastinal-window was similar, there was a significant difference in the variability in the diameter measurement among different reconstruction kernels on the mediastinal-window (P=0.004). No significant difference in the variability in the CT number measurement was found among the different reconstruction kernels (lung-window P=0.163; mediastinal-window P=0.201), and the variability in the CT number measurements on the mediastinal-window was smaller than that of the lung-window. Both window displays had acceptable repeatability in diameter and CT number measurement; however, the mediastinal-window was better in CT number measurement. 【Conclusion】 The lung kernel can improve the detection of pulmonary solid nodules below 6 mm, but is limited in the CT number measurement. The lung-window display provides better variability in measuring nodule diameter, while mediastinal-window display is better at measuring CT numbers.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) previously treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 76 patients with unresectable HCC who were treated with lenvatinib in Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 2019 to January 2020, and according to the treatment method, they were divided into TKI previously untreated group with 49 patients and TKI treatment-experienced group with 27 patients. The patients were observed till one year after enrollment, adjustment of treatment regimen, tumor progression, or death. The two groups were compared in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) time, objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and incidence rate of adverse events. The t -test or the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test or the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups; the Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and the log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. Results There were no significant differences between the TKI previously untreated group and the TKI treatment-experienced group in median PFS time (115 days vs 72 days, P =0.148), ORR (36.7% vs 18.5%, P =0.098), DCR (65.3% vs 55.6%, P =0.402), and incidence rates of grade ≥3 adverse events (24.5% vs 18.5%, P =0.550). Conclusion Patients with unresectable HCC previously treated with TKI can benefit from lenvatinib and have good safety, with similar results to those treated with TKI for the first time.

Objective To investigate the value of age and D-dimer (D-D) combined with Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score in predicting the prognosis of patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF). Methods A total of 111 patients with HBV-ACLF who were hospitalized in The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from December 2019 to October 2021 were enrolled, and according to their prognosis on day 90 after confirmed diagnosis, they were divided into survival group with 49 patients and death group with 62 patients. Related clinical data were collected, including age, sex, underlying liver diseases, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBil), Albumin (Alb), D-D, prothrombin time (PT), plasma fibrinogen (FIB), prothrombin activity (PTA), international normalized ratio (INR), serum creatinine (SCr), and serum sodium (Na), and MELD score was calculated. Immunoturbidimetric assay was used to measure the plasma level of D-D. The t -test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between the two groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between the two groups; a binary Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the independent risk factors for the prognosis of patients, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to predict the accuracy of variables. Results There were significant differences between the two groups in age, TBil, D-D, PT, PTA, INR, SCr, Na, and MELD score (all P < 0.05). The binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age (odds ratio [ OR ]=1.088, 95% confidence interval [ CI ]: 1.001-1.183, P =0.047), D-D ( OR =1.521, 95% CI : 1.078-2.145, P =0.017), and MELD score ( OR =1.892, 95% CI : 1.408-2.543, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors for the prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients. Age, MELD score and D-D had an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.664, 0.869, and 0.887, respectively, in predicting the prognosis of HBV-ACLF, while D-D combined with age, age combined with MELD score, D-D combined with MELD score, and the combination of these three indicators had an AUC of 0.895, 0.906, 0.965, and 0.970, respectively. A combination of the three indices had a significantly increased AUC compared with other indices except D-D combined with MELD score. and the combination of these three indicators had relatively high sensitivity (0.935) and specificity (0.918). Conclusion Age, D-D, and MRLD score are independent risk factors for the prognosis of HBV-ACLF, among which D-D and MELD score have a good value in predicting prognosis, and the combination of these three indicators has a significantly better predictive value.
