Objective To study the effect of Ditan Decoction combined with aripiprazole and olanzapine in the treatment of schizophrenia and its influence on serum inflammatory factors chnage.Methods Seventy-seven patients with schizophrenia meeting the requirements visiting the outpatient department and hospitalized in Dazu District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Dazu District Mental Health Center from July 2021 to March 2023 were selected as the study subjects and divided into the observation group(n=38)and control group(n=39).The control group was treated with aripiprazole and olanzapine,and the observation group was combined with Ditan Decoction on the basis of the control group.After 8 weeks of treatment,the TCM syndrome scores,Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS)score,serum inflammatory factors(IL-6,IL-1β,IL-17)levels were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate was 97.37％in the observation group and 84.65％in the control group,and the difference was statistically signifi-cant(P＜0.05).The TCM syndrome score of each item and total scores after treatment in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05),the PANSS positive symptoms,negative symp-toms,general psychopathology and total scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The IL-17,IL-6 and IL-1β levels after treatment in observation group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Ditan Decoction combined with aripiprazole and olanzapine has significant clinical efficacy in the treatment of schizophrenia,which could further reduce the symptom score of the patients and improve the serum inflammatory factors levels.The treatment is highly safe and worthy of clinical recommendation.

Objective To examine the quinolone resistance and mechanisms of resistance,including prevalence of transferable mechanisms of quinolone resistance(TMQR)genes in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP).Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested for CRKP isolated from 7 hospitals in China during 2019 by broth microdilution method.Genome sequencing analysis was performed on Illumina HiseqX sequencing platform.The virulence genes,multilocus sequence typing(MLST),chromosome quinolone resistance-determining region(QRDR)variation,and prevalence of TMQR genes in CRKP were analyzed.Results Overall,98.4％and 99.2％of the 481 CRKP strains were non-susceptible to levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin,respectively.ST11(77.8％)and ST15(15.8％)were the dominant clones.Among the 303 CRKP strains carrying virulence gene(CV-CRKP),ST11 type and ST15 type strains accounted for 92.1％and 5.0％,respectively,while ST11 and ST15 type strains accounted for 53.4％and 34.3％in the 178 CRKP strains without the virulence gene(non-CV-CRKP).All of the ST11 and ST 15 type strains were resistant to quinolones associated with gyrA and parC mutation.All of the quinolone-sensitive strains were not ST11 type or not ST15 type.TMQR analysis showed that qnrS1(61.1％,294 strains),qnrB4(10.0％,48 strains)and aac(6)-Ib-cr(18.7％,90 strains)were most prevalent in CRKPs,while qnrB1(4 strains),qnrB2(2 strains),qnrD1(2 strains)and qnrB6(1 strain)were infrequently identified in CRKPs.Specifically,qnrB4 was mainly identified in high-level levofloxacin-resistant strains(MIC≥8 mg/L),while aac(6)-Ib-cr was found mainly in ciprofloxacin-resistant strains(MIC＞8 mg/L).Conclusions Clinical CRKPs were highly resistant to quinolone.The rate of QRDR variation were high in quinolone resistant CRKP strains,with high TMQR gene carriage.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of Enterobacter cloacae complex(ECC)isolated from a tertiary hospital in Shanghai.Methods Clinical ECC isolates were collected from 2018 to 2020.Antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed with broth microdilution and agar dilution methods.PCR was applied to detect five carbapenemase genes(blaKPC,blaNDM,blaIMP,blaVIM and blaOXA-48).Results A total of 222 ECC isolates were collected from 2018-2020,including 36 strains(16.2％)from general surgery department.The strains were mainly isolated from sputum(41.0％)and urine(20.3％).MIC results showed that the isolates were highly resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,the second-and third-generation cephalosporins,aztreonam and quinolones(31.1％-71.2％resistant),but low resistance rates to tigecycline,amikacin,mecillinam,and ceftazidime-avibactam(0.5％-9.0％resistant).About 9.5％and 10.4％of the strains were resistant to meropenem and imipenem,respectively.A total of 34 ECC strains were carbapenem-nonsusceptible strains,of which 23 strains were resistant to carbapenems.Among the 34 carbapenem-nonsusceptible strains,25(73.5％)strains were susceptible to mecillinam,including 15 strains producing metallo-β-lactamase.PCR assay identified carbapenemase genes in 21 of the 34 carbapenem-nonsusceptible strains,including blaNDM(14 strains),blaIMP(5 strains)and blaKPC(2 strains).Compared with the strains isolated in 2018,the ECC strains isolated in 2019 and 2020 showed significantly higher resistance rates to imipenem and ceftazidime-avibactam(P＜0.05),primarily associated with the production of NDM.Among the ECC strains resistant to third-generation cephalosporins,20.4％were resistant to imipenem and meropenem,while 4.9％and 8.7％were resistant to amikacin and mecillinam,respectively,and 9.7％were nonsusceptible to tigecycline.Conclusions The ECC isolates in 2019 and 2020 showed increasing resistance rates to carbapenems and ceftazidime-avibactam due to the production of metallo-β-lactamases.Some of the metallo-β-lactamase-producing ECC isolates were susceptible to mecillinam.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation， suitability and accessibility of recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein （EC）， and to provide evidence for selecting skin detection methods for tuberculosis infection diagnosis and auxiliary diagnosis of tuberculosis. METHODS The effectiveness and safety of EC compared with purified protein derivative of tuberculin （TB-PPD） were analyzed by the method of systematic review. Cost minimization analysis， cost-effectiveness analysis and cost-utility analysis were used to evaluate the short-term economy of EC compared with TB-PPD， and cost-utility analysis was used to evaluate the long-term economy. The evaluation dimensions of innovation， suitability and accessibility were determined by systematic review and improved Delphi expert consultation， and the comprehensive score of EC and TB-PPD in each dimension were calculated by the weight of each indicator. RESULTS The scores of effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation and suitability of EC were all higher than those of TB-PPD. The affordability scores of the two drugs were consistent， while the availability score of EC was lower than those of TB-PPD. After considering dimensions and index weight， the scores of effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation， suitability， accessibility and the comprehensive score of EC were all higher than those of TB-PPD. CONCLUSIONS Compared with TB-PPD， EC performs better in all dimensions of effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation， suitability and accessibility. However， it is worth noting that EC should further improve its availability in the dimension of accessibility.

Objective To investigate the resistance profile of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Huashan Hospital, Fudan University. Methods The MICs of fluoroquinolones were determined by agar dilution method against 112 clinical strains of K. pneumoniae. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) were applied to 48 K. pneumoniae strains. The characteristic sequence type (ST) associated with antibiotic resistance was identified by PCR. Results Lower percentage (＜40％) of K. pneumoniae strains were susceptible to fluoroquinolones. Majority (86.2％) of ciprofloxacin non-susceptible K. pneumoniae strains belonged to CC1 (ST11), ST494 or CC4 (ST15 and ST655), indicating the potential of clonal dissemination. ST494 (18.8％) was the second commonest sequence type, next only to ST11. ST494 strains harbored the genes encoding beta-lactamases, oqxAB, qnrD, aac-(6')-lb-cr and armA and had a single point mutation in gyrA. Therefore, ST494 strains were highly resistant to cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides and 22％ of the strains were resistant to carbapenems. However, all the ST494 strains were susceptible to tigecycline and tetracycline. Conclusions ST11 and ST494 are the commonest STs of K. pneumoniae conferring multidrug resistance in this hospital. These STs may contribute to the high resistance rates of K. pneumoniae to fluoroquinolones. The susceptibility of ST494 strains to tigecycline and tetracycline allows us to consider the promising potential of such drugs in managing K. pneumoniae infections.
