Objective To retrieve relevant literature on risk prediction model for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection among hospitalized patients from databases and evaluate the predictive model. Methods The literature on risk prediction models for MRSA infection among hospitalized patients was retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang data, and VIP database, with a time range from the inception of the database to January 1, 2024. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data. The Prediction Model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool (PROBAST) was applied to evaluate the risk of bias and applicability of the prediction model in the literature, and descriptive analysis was conducted. Results A total of 12 articles (15 prediction models) were included in this study, with significant differences in the total sample size, the number of MRSA infection events, sample size of modeling, and sample size of validation among the studies. Common predictors in the prediction models were admission to the intensive care unit, antibiotic use, history of residence in nursing facilities, age, chronic kidney disease, and previous hospitalization history. Nine articles conducted internal validation, and three articles conducted both internal and external validation. Nine articles reported the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, and only three articles reported the calibration of the model based on the Hosmer-Lemeshow test. PROBAST analysis showed that 10 articles were assessed as high risk bias, mainly stemming from statistical analysis. Conclusion Most of the MRSA infection risk prediction models in the current literature have good predictive efficacy for MRSA infection, but they all have higher overall risk of bias, and only a few models have undergone external validation. Researchers should follow PROBAST standards to construct and externally validate models in the future so as to develop models suitable for clinical practice.

In September 2020, an elderly patient with cognitive impairment(CI) was admitted in Deparment of Microsurgery, Hangzhou Qiushi Hospital. The patient was in bed and could not answer correctly before surgery. The preoperative Minimum Mental State Examination(MMSE) score was 3(3/30) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score was 2(2/30). After completion of preoperative examinations, a 3D microscope combined with fluorescence tracing technique was used to perform deep cervical lymphatic-venous anastomosis at the bilateral cervical Va lymph nodes part: two anastomosis methods were performed, one was end to side anastomosis and the other was end to end anastomosis. The diameters of all anastomotic dilated lymphatic vessels were less than 0.2 mm, the diameters of end-to-side, end to end anastomotic veins were 0.6 mm and 0.2 mm. Short-term postoperative anti-inflammatory treatment was given and a long-term functional rehabilitation training was performed. There were no postoperative complications and the incision healed well. The MMSE scores were 8, 12, 14, 18 point, and the MoCA scores were 8, 9, 11, 13 point. At 3, 30, 90, 180 days after surgery, respectively. Basic cognitive function was restored at 9 months after surgery.

【Objective】 To analyze the polymorphism of erythrocyte membrane blood group glycoprotein A (GPA) related gene GYPA in high and low endemic population for clonidia sinensis infection, aimed at investigating the correlation between erythrocyte transmembrane glycoproteins and clonorchis sinensis infection. 【Methods】 From Dec 2019 to Jun 2020, anticoagulant blood samples were randomly collected in WuMing district (n=700) and GuiGang district (n=500 ) of Nanning city, and the IgG antibody to clonorchis sinensis in plasma was detected, and the DNA of leukocyte was extracted. The full-length exon and partial intron of GYPA gene were sequenced, mutations were characterized by gene cloning, and the risk of infection was calculated by chi-square test. 【Results】 The yield rate of IgG antibody was 62.7% (439/700) in WuMing district and 3.4% (17/500) in GuiGang district(P<0.05). The insertion of base C at the 54th position of intron-2 in GYPA gene caused the reading frame shift. The mutation was presented in 23.9% (105/439) and 17.6% (3/17) of the population with clonorchis sinensis exposure in WuMing and GuiGang area, respectively, while 49.4% (129/261) and 54.7% (264/483) in the negative population, respectively (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The infection rate of clonorchis sinensis in WuMing district was higher than that in GuiGang district. The mutation rate of reading frame shift caused by the insertion of base C at the 54th position of GYPA intron-2 was much lower in the positive population of clonorchis sinensis infection than the negative population, suggesting that the mutation is a protective gene in the negative population of clonorchis sinensis infection. It is necessary to study the mechanism of clonorchis sinensis infection and the mutation point of this gene in order to facilitate the early diagnosis of disease, blood transfusion management, treatment and prevention.

Objective: To investigate the effect of standardized management of hypertension patients in community. Methods: Permanent residents aged 50-60 in the community were selected as the survey subjects from January 2016 to January 2017.After the standardized training of professional doctors in the First People's Hospital of Huainan, a unified investigation was carried out.A total of 160 qualified hypertensive patients were selected, including 91 males and 69 females.According to the random number table method, the patients were divided into the control group and the intervention group.The control group was given routine community nursing, and the intervention group was given standardized community team management, and the intervention period was 1 year.The changes of blood pressure and awareness rate before and after intervention were compared and analyzed. Results: Through standardized management of the team, the awareness rate, medication rate and control rate (85.0%, 77.5%, 47.5%) of the control group were higher than those before management (57.5%, 53.8%, 28.8%). The " three rates" of hypertension patients in intervention group (100.0%, 92.5%, 68.8%) were higher than those before management (58.8%, 56.2%, 31.3%). Moreover, the awareness rate, medication rate and control rate of the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group(χ²=12.973, 7.059, 7.421, all P<0.05). Meanwhile, the DBP and SBP of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group[DBP: (98.7±16.4)mmHg vs.(78.5±11.7)mmHg, t=5.42, P<0.05; SBP: (161.2±10.6)mmHg vs.(130.6±12.1)mmHg, t=-5.31, P<0.05]. Conclusion The effect of standardized management of hypertension patients in community is better than traditional community nursing, which can effectively reduce blood pressure and improve the awareness rate, and is suitable for clinical application.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the feasibility of endoscopic metallic stent as a bridge to elective laparoscopic surgery in patients with malignant colorectal obstruction.

METHODSClinical data of 63 patients with obstructive colorectal cancer who underwent endoscopic metallic stent insertion under radiologic monitoring at the Longyan First Hospital between June 2012 and August 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. After complete remission of the obstruction, all the patients received multi-disciplinary team (MDT) evaluation to make the further treatment strategy. The subsequent surgery included open and laparoscopic procedures, and the short-term efficacy of these two procedures was compared.

RESULTSThere were 30 male and 33 female patients with age of 30 to 90 (mean 67) years, including 3 cases of ascending colon cancer, 4 cases of transverse colon cancer, 12 cases of descending colon cancer, 26 cases of sigmoid cancer, and 19 cases of rectal cancer. Only one patient (1.6%) developed sigmoid perforation at 3 hours after stent placement, and underwent emergency laparotomy with Hartmann procedure. The remaining 62 patients had bowel movements. After MDT evaluation, 10 patients (16.1%) were treated with palliative chemotherapy because they were unfit for surgery or for diffuse distant metastases. A total of 52 patients underwent radical surgery after a mean interval from stent insertion of 10 days (7-20 days), including open (n=18, including two cases with conversion to open surgery) and laparoscopy (n=34). The baseline data between open and laparoscopy groups were similar (all P>0.05). Primary anastomosis was successfully performed in all the patients without preventive stoma. Compared to open group, laparoscopy group had faster bowel movement [(2.88±1.06) d vs. (4.05±2.43) d, P=0.022] and shorter postoperative hospital stay [(7.85±0.96) d vs. (9.82±4.41) d, P=0.002]. There were no statistically significant differences in operative time, intraoperative blood loss, number of harvested lymph node, and postoperative complication rate between two groups (all P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONSEndoscopic metallic stent placement can effectively remove malignant colorectal obstruction, and thus enables surgeons to perform an elective radical surgery, avoiding emergency surgery with stoma and unnecessary surgery for patients with distant metastasis. In the era of enhanced recovery after surgery, the endoscopic metallic stent placement combined with laparoscopic procedures, as a less invasive alternative, is effective and safe.

Objective To evaluate the effects of the range and the frequency of the compression load on the accuracy for discerning target stiffness differences in ultrasound elastography.Methods Quantitative ultrasound elastography was achieved by integrating two compression force sensors,a laptop computer and a clinical ultrasound elastographic system.The force sensors and the ultrasound probe were assembled in a 3D printed mounting bracket for continuous monitoring of compression loads during ultrasound elastography. Both the force measurements and the elastographic maps were acquired and displayed on the laptop computer in real time.Four targets of the same diameter(10.4 mm),the same depth (3 cm) and different stiffness levels (8,14,45 and 80 kPa) were examined by a HITACHI preirus,L74M linear-array transducer.Each target was evaluated 45 times with two different method(i.e.,freehand elastography and quantitative elastography),yielding 1 80 evaluations.The data were divided into the following three groups:group Ⅰ(80 kPa vs 45,14 and 8 kPa),group Ⅱ(80,45kPa vs 14,8 kPa)and group Ⅲ(80,45 and 14 kPa vs 8 kPa).Area under ROC curves(AUC)were calculated for different stiffness levels.Results In group Ⅲ, quantitative elastography yielded an greater AUC level than that of freehand elastography(P =0.0379).In group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ,two methods yielded the similar AUC levels (P = 1 .000).However,quantitative elastography was able to discern 8 kPa and 14 kPa targets (P <0.001),while freehand elastography was hard to differentiate them(P =0.258).Conclusions In comparison with freehand elastography,quantitative ultrasound elastography is able to improve the accuracy for discerning different target stiffnesses.

Objective To explore the mechanism for the increase in reactive oxygen species regulated by p47phox of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase subunit in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) after oxygen therapy in premature infants.Methods According to different volume fractions of oxygen,premature infants less than 32 weeks were divided into 3 groups:fractional concentration of inspired oxygen (FiO2) ＜ 30％ was low concentration oxygen group,FiO2 between 30％ and 40％ as middle concentration oxygen group,and FiO2 ＞ 40％ as high concentration oxygen group.Premature infants less than 32 weeks without oxygen was control group.After 48 h,3 mL blood was collected via radial artery from each group,PBMCs and serum were separated.Then intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) by confocal laser scanning microscopy,malondialdehyde (MDA) within serum by thiobarbituric acid colorimetric,and the location and activation rate of p47phox through immunofluorescence.Results After premature infants were exposed to oxygen,as the oxygen volume fraction was increasing,ROS and MDA gradually rised.More PBMCs with p47phox translocated to membrane,then the translocation rate of p47phox also increased.Compared with the control group,ROS were significantly higher(q =4.48,6.5,16.22,all P ＜ 0.05) among the other 3 groups ; MDA significantly increased as well(q =5.08,8.22,12.76,all P ＜ 0.05) ; the activation rate of p47phox also had significant differences (x2 =134.008,P ＜ 0.05);compared with the middle concentration oxygen group,the high concentration oxygen group had higher ROS and MDA(q =15.03,4.53,all P ＜ 0.05) ; the activation rate of p47phox increased significantly(x2 =19.26,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions After oxygen exposure,p47phox translocated to membrane may regulate the NADPH oxidase-derived ROS increase in extremely premature infants.
