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 investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of Yiqi Huatan Tongluo Prescription(mainly composed of Fici Simplicissimae Radix,Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma,Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum,Poria,Nelumbinis Folium,and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma,etc.)combined with drug-coated balloon(DCB)in the treatment of coronary heart disease(CHD)and to observe its effect on low-shear related serological indicators.Methods A total of 106 patients with CHD of qi deficiency and phlegm stasis obstructing collateral type who were scheduled to undergo percutaneous coronary intervention were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group,with 53 cases in each group.The control group was treated with drug-eluting stent implantation,and the treatment group was treated with DCB.After the operation,the control group was given conventional antiplatelet aggregation drugs,and the treatment group was given oral administration of Yiqi Huatan Tongluo Prescription.The medication for the two groups lasted for 12 weeks.The changes in the serum levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1(MCP-1),interleukin 1 β(IL-1β)and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in the two groups were observed before and after treatment.Moreover,the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome efficacy after treatment and the incidence of adverse events one year after operation were compared between the two groups.Results(1)After 12 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate for TCM syndrome efficacy of the treatment group was 88.68％(47/53),and that of the control group was 75.47％(40/53).The intergroup comparison(tested by chi-square test)showed that the TCM syndrome efficacy in the treatment group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(2)The analysis of indicators related to endothelial dysfunction in the blood flow with low shear stress showed that after treatment,the levels of serum MCP-1,IL-1βand VEGF in the control group presented no obvious changes(P＞0.05),but the serum levels of MCP-1 and IL-1β in the treatment group were significantly lowered compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05).The intergroup comparison showed that the decrease of serum MCP-1,IL-1β and VEGF levels in the treatment group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(3)The one-year follow-up after the operation showed that the total incidence of adverse events in the treatment group was 18.87％(10/53),and that in the control group was 20.75％(11/53).There was no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Yiqi Huatan Tongluo Prescription combined with DCB has definite action on the targets related to endothelial dysfunction in coronary blood flow with low shear stress,which is conducive to reducing inflammatory response,improving the symptoms of angina pectoris and enhancing clinical efficacy.The incidence of adverse events did not increase one year after operation,indicating good safety and effectiveness.

Objective:To explore the effect of behavioral habits on the recovery of spinal cord function in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy after expansive open-door laminoplasty(ELAP).Methods:Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 183 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy who underwent ELAP at the Spinal Surgery Department of Jining Medical University Affiliated Hospital, from February 2019 to October 2022, with complete follow-up information. General clinical data of patients were collected. The patients were followed up at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after surgery with the modified standard MacNab.The JOA score was used to evaluate the recovery of motor and sensory functions in patients before and 12 months after surgery. The recovery rate of spinal cord function was calculated based on the JOA score, and patients were divided into two groups: the group with good therapeutic effect ( n=143, recovery rate ≥ 50%) and the group with poor therapeutic effect ( n=40, recovery rate<50%). Data statistics were conducted using SPSS 20.0 software for chi-square test, rank sum test, t-test, and Logistic regression analysis. Results:There were significant differences in age ( t=-3.252, P<0.01), smoking ( χ2=21.503, P<0.01), body mass index(BMI) ( t=-5.885, P<0.01), hypertension ( χ2=20.263, P<0.01), coronary heart disease ( χ2=13.272, P<0.01), hospitalization time ( t=-2.278, P=0.02), desk and screen time ( t=-6.589, P<0.01), and frequency of rehabilitation exercise ( χ2=10.927, P<0.01) between the group with good therapeutic effect and the group with poor therapeutic effect. Further multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that smoking ( B=2.402, OR=11.046, 95% CI=2.334-52.285, P<0.05), high BMI ( B=0.341, OR=1.406, 95% CI=1.076-1.837, P<0.05), hypertension ( B=2.238, OR=9.370, 95% CI=2.153-40.790, P<0.05), long desk and screen time ( B=0.961, OR=2.613, 95% CI=1.540-4.435, P<0.05) and low frequency of rehabilitation exercise ( B=-1.039, OR=0.354, 95% CI=0.201-0.623, P<0.05) were risk factors for spinal cord function recovery in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy after ELAP( P<0.05). Conclusion:Smoking, high BMI, hypertension, long desk and screen time, and low frequency of rehabilitation exercise are not adverse to the recovery of neurological function in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy after ELAP.

Chlorfenapyr,an emerging synthetic pesticide,has been linked to a growing number of poisoning incidents,attributed to heightened human exposure as its application becomes more widespread.However,the toxicokinetics and toxicology of chlorfenapyr remain incompletely understood.Research since the 1990s,including animal experiments,has illuminated the absorption,distribution,excretion,and metabolism of chlorfenapyr.Toxicological investigations have revealed that the primary toxicity of chlorfenapyr is the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation.Chlorfenapyr exposure in humans and other animals can lead to various toxic effects,including neurotoxicity,cardiotoxicity,skeletal muscle toxicity,genotoxicity,reproductive and developmental toxicity,renal toxicity,splenic toxicity,and hematotoxicity.This article presents a comprehensive review of the toxicokinetics and toxicology of chlorfenapyr,integrating data from animal experiments,human cell line studies,clinical reports,and human autopsy.Its objective is to raise clinical awareness regarding chlorfenapyr poisoning and offer valuable references for its treatment and management.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of emergency percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)support in critically ill patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)and cardiogenic shock(CS).Methods Retrospective analysis of clinical data of AMI combined with CS patients admitted to the department of emergency of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from December 2018 to December 2021,including gender,age,body mass index(BMI),past history(smoking,coronary heart disease,arrhythmia,diabetes,hypertension,hyperlipidemia,cerebrovascular disease);acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ)score,highest vasoactive-inotropic score(VIS)within 24 hours of admission,the worst auxiliary examination values within 24 hours after admission:blood lactic acid(Lac),arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2),cardiac troponin I(cTnI),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),total bilirubin(TBil),creatinine(Cr),serum potassium,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)],presence of malignant arrhythmia or cardiac arrest during emergency PCI,completion of PCI,and the 30-day prognosis,etc.Patients were divided into an ECMO group and a non-ECMO group based on whether ECMO was applied,to analyze differences in the above indicators between the two groups.Results There were no statistically significant differences between the ECMO group and the non-ECMO group in terms of gender,age,BMI,past history,APACHEⅡ,VIS and the worst auxiliary examination value within 24 hours after admission.The incidence of malignant arrhythmia or cardiac arrest events and 30-day mortality rate during emergency PCI in the ECMO group were significantly lower than those in the non-ECMO group[the incidence of malignant arrhythmia or cardiac arrest during emergency PCI was 17.9％(7/39)vs.45.0％(9/20),and the 30-day mortality was 46.2％(18/39)vs.75.0％(15/20),both P<0.05].The completion rate of PCI in the ECMO group was significantly higher than that in the non-ECMO group[100.0％(39/39)vs.80.0％(16/20),P<0.05].Conclusions For critically ill patients with AMI combined with CS,ECMO support can reduce the risk of malignant arrhythmia or cardiac arrest during emergency PCI,increase the completion rate of PCI,and reduce the 30-day mortality.With the support of the ECMO team,ECMO support emergency PCI is feasible.

Objective:To apply the best evidence for nutritional management in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) into clinical practice and evaluate its effectiveness.Methods:Totally 80 CHF patients admitted to the Department of Cardiology at the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical University from October 2022 to March 2023 and 23 nurses involved in the project were selected by convenience sampling. The 40 CHF patients admitted from October to December 2022 formed the baseline group, while those admitted from January to March 2023 constituted the evidence application group. Evidence-based nursing methods were implemented in four stages: evidence retrieval, current status review, evidence implementation, and effectiveness evaluation. The compliance rates of review indicators, nurses' knowledge of nutritional management for CHF patients, and patient outcomes related to nutrition status and readmission rates were compared before and after evidence-based practice.Results:After evidence-based practice, the compliance rates of review indicators increased from 0-60.87% to 80.00%-100.00%. Nurses' scores on nutritional management knowledge for CHF patients increased significantly from (48.48±13.09) to (91.30±4.82), with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). The NRS 2002 scores of CHF patients decreased from (3.05±0.50) to (2.10±0.44), MNA-HF scores increased from (18.20±2.64) to (21.24±2.94), and albumin levels increased from (37.33±4.98) g/L to (39.24±3.29) g/L, all with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). The 3-month readmission rate for CHF patients in the evidence application group was 10.00% (4/40), significantly lower than the 27.50% (11/40) in the baseline group ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Evidence-based nursing practice for nutritional management in CHF patients can enhance nurses' knowledge, improve patients' nutritional status, reduce readmission rates, and improve the quality of nursing care.

Objective To observe the effects of melatonin on autophagy in cortical neurons of neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD)and to explore its mechanisms via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway,aiming to provide a basis for the clinical application of melatonin.Methods Seven-day-old Sprague-Dawley neonatal rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group,an HIBD group,and a melatonin group(n=9 each).The neonatal rat HIBD model was established using the classic Rice-Vannucci method.Neuronal morphology in the neonatal rat cerebral cortex was observed with hematoxylin-eosin staining and Nissl staining.Autophagy-related protein levels of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3)and Beclin-1 were detected by immunofluorescence staining and Western blot analysis.Phosphorylated phosphoinositide 3-kinase(p-PI3K)and phosphorylated protein kinase B(p-AKT)protein expression levels were measured by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.The correlation between autophagy and the PI3K pathway in the melatonin group and the HIBD group was analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis.Results Twenty-four hours post-modeling,neurons in the sham operation group displayed normal size and orderly arrangement.In contrast,neurons in the HIBD group showed swelling and disorderly arrangement,while those in the melatonin group had relatively normal morphology and more orderly arrangement.Nissl bodies were normal in the sham operation group but distorted in the HIBD group;however,they remained relatively intact in the melatonin group.The average fluorescence intensity of LC3 and Beclin-1 was higher in the HIBD group compared to the sham operation group,but was reduced in the melatonin group compared to the HIBD group(P<0.05).The number of p-PI3K+and p-AKT+cells decreased in the HIBD group compared to the sham operation group but increased in the melatonin group compared to the HIBD group(P<0.05).LC3 and Beclin-1 protein expression levels were higher,and p-PI3K and p-AKT levels were lower in the HIBD group compared to the sham operation group(P<0.05);however,in the melatonin group,LC3 and Beclin-1 levels decreased,and p-PI3K and p-AKT increased compared to the HIBD group(P<0.05).The correlation analysis results showed that the difference of the mean fluorescence intensity of LC3 and Beclin-1 protein in the injured cerebral cortex between the melatonin and HIBD groups was negatively correlated with the difference of the number of p-PI3K+and p-AKT+cells between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusions Melatonin can inhibit excessive autophagy in cortical neurons of neonatal rats with HIBD,thereby alleviating HIBD.This mechanism is associated with the PI3K/AKT pathway.

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.
