With the widespread use of carbapenem antibiotics,the clinical detection rate of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli has shown a significant increase.Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli isolates are often extensively or fully resistant,resulting in limited antimicrobial treatment options and high morbidity and mortality rates,posing a serious public health threat.The clinical treatment of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli includes the use of single or combination antimicrobials such as polymyxin,tigecycline,and fosfomycin.A number of new antimicrobials and therapeutic approaches are under development.The clinical management of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative infections is severely challenged by the limited choice of antimicrobial agents.Therefore,this article reviews the current status and progress of antimicrobial treatment for carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli to providing clinical reference.

Objective A HPLC-quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker(QAMS)was established to determine 5 ingredients including uracil,uridine,hypoxanthine,inosine and guanosine in Periplaneta americana.Methods Separation took place on a Agilent ZORBAX SB-Aq column(250 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm)by gradient elution of methanol-0.01 mol·L-1 potassium dihydrogen phosphate at 20℃with a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1.The detection wavelength was 260 nm and the injection amount was 10 μL.The relative correction factors(fa/b)was calculated for the other four components with uridine as an internal standard.The content of 5 ingredients in 10 batches of Periplaneta americana was determined by QAMS.Results were compared with those of external standard method(ESM).Results Five nucleosides showed good linear relationships in their own ranges(r＞0.999 5),and the average recoveries ranged from 97.0%to 100.8%.The relative correction factors of uracil,hypoxanthine,inosine and guanosine were 0.908 0,1.005 3,1.969 5 and 1.303 4,respectively.Conclusion The established method is accurate and stable.It can provide theoretical reference for the quality control of Periplaneta americana.

T cell infiltration and proliferation in tumor tissues are the main factors that significantly affect the therapeutic outcomes of cancer immunotherapy. Emerging evidence has shown that interferon-gamma (IFNγ) could enhance CXCL9 secretion from macrophages to recruit T cells, but Siglec15 expressed on TAMs can attenuate T cell proliferation. Therefore, targeted regulation of macrophage function could be a promising strategy to enhance cancer immunotherapy via concurrently promoting the infiltration and proliferation of T cells in tumor tissues. We herein developed reduction-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) made with poly (disulfide amide) (PDSA) and lipid-poly (ethylene glycol) (lipid-PEG) for systemic delivery of Siglec15 siRNA (siSiglec15) and IFNγ for enhanced cancer immunotherapy. After intravenous administration, these cargo-loaded could highly accumulate in the tumor tissues and be efficiently internalized by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). With the highly concentrated glutathione (GSH) in the cytoplasm to destroy the nanostructure, the loaded IFNγ and siSiglec15 could be rapidly released, which could respectively repolarize macrophage phenotype to enhance CXCL9 secretion for T cell infiltration and silence Siglec15 expression to promote T cell proliferation, leading to significant inhibition of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) growth when combining with the immune checkpoint inhibitor. The strategy developed herein could be used as an effective tool to enhance cancer immunotherapy.

Objective:To investigate the application value of carbon nanoparticle tracer in lymph node dissection for Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 147 patients with Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG who were admitted to Shengli Petroleum Central Hospital from June 2015 to July 2020 were collected. There were 109 males and 38 females, aged (65±9)years. All the patients underwent laparoscopic-assisted radical resection of AEG via esophageal hiatus. Of 147 patients, 61 cases not injected with carbon nanoparticle tracer preoperatively were allocated into control group and 86 cases injected with carbon nanoparticle tracer preoperatively were allocated into experimental group. Observation indicators: (1) surgical and postoperative situations; (2) influencing factors analysis of No.10 lymph nodes metastasis. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Count data were represented as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed by the chi-square test. Univariate analysis was conducted by statistic methods based on data type, and multivariate analysis was conducted by the Logistic step-wise regression model. Results:(1) Surgical and postoperative situations. Patients of the experimental group and control group completed laparoscopic-assisted radical resection of AEG via esophageal hiatus successfully. There was no significant difference in the operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, the total number of lymph node dissection, the number of the first station, the second station and positive lymph nodes between the two groups ( P>0.05). For the experimental group, the black staining rate of lymph nodes was 57.937%(1 365/2 356), the black staining rate of the first station and second station lymph nodes was 77.989%(1 024/1 313) and 43.691%(232/531), the black staining rate of Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG patients was 56.855%(423/744) and 58.437%(942/1 612), respectively. The lymph node metastasis rate was 19.091%(815/4 269) of 147 patients, 18.573%(242/1 303)of Siewert type Ⅱ AEG patients and 19.319%(573/2 966) of Siewert type Ⅲ AEG patients. For Siewert type Ⅱ AEG patients, the metastasis rate of No.1, 2, 3, 4sa, 4sb, 7, 8a, 11p lymph nodes was more than 10%, the metastasis rate of No.4d, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11d, 12a lymph nodes was lower than 10%. For Siewert type Ⅲ AEG patients, the metastasis rate of No.1, 2, 3, 4sa, 4sb, 7, 8a, 10, 11p and lower mediastinal lymph nodes was more than 10%, the metastasis rate of No.4d, 5, 6, 9 11d, 12a and lower mediastinal lymph nodes was lower than 10%. There was no significant difference in the Clavien Dindo classification of postoperative complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). (2) Influencing factors analysis of No.10 lymph nodes metastasis. Results of multivariate analysis showed that tumor T staging and degree of tumor differention was an independent influencing factor for No.10 lymph nodes metastasis ( P<0.05). Conclusions:For Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ AEG patients, the application of carbon nano-partide tracer can not increase the number of lymph node dissection. The second station lymph node dissection should be paid attention for Siewert type Ⅱ AEG. Tumor T staging and degree of tumor differentiation are independent influencing factors for No.10 lymph nodes metastasis.

Objective To analyze molecular characteristics of 5 congenital hypothyroidism (CH) patients due to dyshormonogenesis.Method We enrolled 5 CH patients due to dyshormonogenesis who were identified in Newborn Screening Center of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region,China.Blood samples were collected from the patients and their parents,and genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes.All exons of DUOX2,TG,TPO and NIS gene together with their exon-intron boundaries were screened by next-generation sequencing.Specimens from 100 normal controls were tested for these novel variations.Result No TPO,NIS or TG gene mutations were identified.Direct sequencing of the DUOX2 gene revealed that patient 1 had a compound heterozygote for c.3340delC and p.R683L,patient 2 was homozygous for p.K530X and patient 3 was a heterozygote for p.E879K.Both biallelic and monoallelic heterozygous mutations in DUOX2 were associated with transient CH.Novel mutations included c.3340delC and p.R683L,analysis of 100 healthy subjects without thyroid disease did not show the same change.Conclusion Genetic analysis of TPO,NIS,DUOX2 and TG gene in 5 unrelated CH patients with thyroid dyshormonogenesis revealed two novel DUOX2 mutations,both were biallelic and monoallelic heterozygous mutations in DUOX2 associated with transient CH.

In this study, the rescue effect of receptor activator for nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) on zoledronate acid (ZOL) induced inhibition of osteoclastogenesis and gene expression of NF-kappaB p50 and c-Jun was investigated. Mice calvarial osteoblasts (OBs) were harvested and co-cultured with RAW264.7 cells and the cells were divided into 4 groups and received treatment with ZOL and RANKL, either single or combined. The formation of multi-nucleated osteoclast (OC) was examined and gene expression of NF-kappaB p50 and c-Jun was detected. Group B (ZOL) showed least multi-nucleated OC and resorption lacunae among the 4 groups (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) and it was followed by group C (ZOL+RANKL). Group D (RANKL) showed highest OC and resorption lacunae while it was similar to Group A (control) (P > 0.05). Gene expression of NF-kappaB p50 and c-Jun was the lowest in group B (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) among the four groups and was significantly increased in group C when compared with group B (P < 0.05). Group A and D showed highest gene expression and they were similar to each other (P > 0.05). This study suggest that RANKL might partly rescue ZOL induced inhibition of osteoclastogenesis, and the effect of RANKL and ZOL on osteoclastogenesis may be mediated by NF-kappaB p50 and c-Jun.
